I provide the necessary material (a manual written by me) teaching chords, arpeggios, scales and soloing from the study of musical pieces of various kinds in order to immediately put into practice what learned. I give customized lessons based on the needs and wants of each student.
I offer seriousness, competence and desire to teach in a simple and effective way with a functional and alternative method.
I've been playing guitar for 18 years. I studied in a prestigious Academy of Modern Music in Italy and I have been teaching classical, acoustic and electric guitar for more than 10 years from basic to advanced level to people of all ages. I have also taught ukulele for beginners and I’m currently teaching in several schools in the Vancouver area for "Ukulele Kids" (the North America's most popular Lunch and After School Program).
The first lesson is free and without obligation, we can meet each other and fix a study program.
Lessons are at my place, yours (if it’s in Downtown) or on Skype, as you prefer. Travel charge differ according to distance travelled.
The rate is $35/hour-long. Group lessons also available at a discount.
I’m currently available Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and every other Saturday at any time.
I am an adult learning to play the ukulele. When I have a lesson with Ilenia, I appreciate her kindness and patience. She makes learning the ukulele very enjoyable.
Ilenia is an amazing guitar tutor! Our son enjoys her lessons and looks forward to them each week. She is very patient and has introduced new concepts at a pace appropriate to our child's ability. I'd highly recommend Ilenia.
Ilenia is an amazing music instructor and I would not hesitate to recommend her. Gary J.
Ilenia has been incredibly patient and fun to work with. She has made the learning pace appropriate for me and my husband and has been super flexible in working with our constraints.
Very patient and understanding tutor. Since taking lessons, I significantly improved my chords and my strumming. She knows exactly what songs to teach you to take you to the next level. Highly recommended!
My Daughter (8) has been getting lessons from Ilenia for half a year now and She can’t be more excited about playing guitar. Her progress has been tremendous and I would recommend Ilenia to anyone looking to start their child in guitar lessons. Her lessons are thorough and lots of fun ;)
I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Ilenia.
She is a very patience and experienced guitar teacher. I love her teaching style: I have a lot of fun and I’m always learning something new. She knows everyone is different so she will try different approaches until the light bulb turns on in your head! I’ve never met an instructor so enthusiastic about your improvement. What I like the most is her passion about music. The way she listens to it and catch all the little variations.
She is very flexible and she always try to adjust her schedule to my crazy work schedule.
The first time we met, two years ago, she asked me what was my goal. I said that I just wanted to learn how to play guitar. Well, we are way beyond that now!
Ilenia earns my highest recommendation. She is a very professional and thoughtful teacher as well as an exceptional human being.
The best guitar teacher you can ask for. Her classes are always super fun and you get to start jamming with songs right away. Her method of teaching is such that you learn something interesting and new every week.
ilenia is a great guitar teacher. she is very patient and thorough when explaining technical details. would definitely recommend everybody to take a lessons with her!
Ilenia has done a great job of breaking down songs into small guitar skills and steps that my seven year old can practise one at a time.

Taking classical guitar lessons has never been easier: you're going to learn new skills.
