About Elian
With over 6 years of teaching experience and a Graduate Certificate in Advanced Guitar Studies, I’ve spent my career helping students unlock the full potential of their ears. I specialize in advanced ear training for guitarists, guiding players to hear deeper and play smarter. Whether it’s transcribing complex solos, identifying chord progressions by ear, or working toward perfect pitch, I make the process clear and exciting. I believe that ear training is the key to musical freedom. My lessons go beyond repetition they focus on developing a strong inner ear and a deep connection to sound. Students learn to trust what they hear and translate it directly onto the fretboard. We work on tone recognition, interval drills, and active listening through real music. I also incorporate theory so that what you hear connects with what you understand. Every lesson is tailored to your current level and future goals. Watching a student recognize a progression without touching the guitar is one of my favorite moments. I aim to build that confidence in every player. If you're ready to sharpen your ears and bring your playing to life, I’d love to help you get there.

My teaching approach blends practical playing with deep musical understanding. I focus on helping students see how music theory lives on the fretboard, not just on paper. Lessons cover topics like scale and mode application, chord construction, and harmonic analysis. We work step by step, turning complex ideas into tools you can actually use while playing.
Whether you're chasing solos like an Aspiring Rock Star or refining pieces as a Classical Purist, I tailor the lessons to your style and goals. You’ll learn how theory shapes sound, how to build chords from scratch, and how to hear musical structure. I offer clear explanations, exercises, and visual fretboard strategies that connect theory with your fingers.
Improvisation and composition are major parts of our journey. I provide exercises that improve both creativity and control. Each lesson builds confidence in crafting your own sound.
