You miss 2 very important points in your guide:
-Sona is a support, therefore building her a Lichbane as a first item is pretty stupid, because you will seriously lack heal power, doing dmg shouldn't be your main focus
-yet again as a support and especially when playing Sona you will seriously need CDR, because playing Sona is all about aura twisting (=spamming skills in order to activate power chord and have possibly 3 auras on at once) and without cooldown reduction you can't spam your attack skill either, therefore getting lots of AP doesn't make sense because u can only deal dmg every 6-7 secs without cooldown reduction items, runes don't give enough
Also getting Archangel as last sucks because it can't stack long enough to actually give you enough AP. You should at least get Tear of the Goddess earlier if you plan on buying it or replace it with some other item.
I think you might wanna **** some mana regen item even though you have your runes.
Skill order is pretty much ok, EXCEPT that speed buff is useful to get at either lvl 3 or lvl 5 to effectivily use the skill spam. Extra speed when returning to your lane is always useful as well when chasing, not to mention that power chord in combo with Sona's speed buff gives her a slow, therefore granting her more CC since you're playing her basically as a AP carry.
Take these things into consideration :)
First off, I never said this is a support build, I've stated this in the introduction making Sona a powerful nuker. Anyways, I got Archangel's last because I never had mana problems with Clarity and found that if i rush Tear, I lose a chance at lane dominance which can slow the opposing champion's build. There is more than one way to play Sona and like I said people don't advocate this build that much. And yes you support in a different way though not a mere,spamming auras and skills, you create a safe area where your laning partner can farm while other's can not merely because Sona can zone so effectively it works.
Getting Song of Celerity earlier detracts from your overall damage from Hymn of Valor during laning phase, You can get it at either level 8 or level 10 when people actually can run away fairly well.
You don't always have to deal damage every 6-7 seconds with Hymn of Valor you still have your liches to deal some sort of damage, and you can break turrets for your team ALOT faster than just a support build. I tried to deviate from a support build and GO AP essentially, trust me it carried me from 1000elo to near 1300. That's not a lot but with rating it kinda is >.<. But yes I see a valid point. I will be testing some CDR GLYPHS/Quints/Seals later on as they are interchangeable.

Things like using your ultimate, and auras and stuff. Maybe more about laning and like what you should be doing in the lane. Positioning in teamfights, like where you should be and what you should be doing and stuff. Just talk more about it.
Thanks for ur feedback I'm probably going to gutt this out and redesign it properly about the ingame stuff. I think my runes masteries are fine and I think I'm going to make a section about why is it necessary to build liches after the brief background on how it works
Needs some pictures or something, but the information is half decent, you just need to elaborate on things more. I can show you how to do the pictures if you'd like :D
Sure that would be great though I probably would update it tomorrow also what things do you think needed to be more elaborated
