10 Best Music Teachers in Montreal (2026 Guide)

Elijah is a university-educated percussionist and performer with over a decade of international experience and a Bachelor of Music from Concordia University. His teaching style emphasizes patient, goal-oriented instruction and creative expression, drawing on extensive drum-set studies with renowned masters. He offers private and group lessons in the Montreal area, specializing in effective learning techniques for both children and adults.

⭐ "I lost my motivation to learn guitar in 2022 after feeling I wasn't making much progress and I didn't play with it for 1 year. Last summer in 2023, I took a chance and contacted Musiprof and tried with Elijah. It almost been 1 year since, I am still learning guitar with Elijah and I feel like I am making better progress. The studio he receives me for our class is close to where I live, so it is convenient for me. He is patient and understanding. When I don't feel good, he takes few minutes to listen to me before we begin the class, so it helps me be cheer up and not be distracted. I also took interest in drumming, he takes few moments to show me and let me try. I have been having fun with the classes and it been helping me distract from the stuff going on my personal life. I attended a small concert consisting of Musiprof students and they sounded great. I recommend Musiprof and Elijah Baker for anyone wanting to learning music."

Hello! I have over thirty years of experience as a professional musician and private teacher. Originally from Lac St-Jean, I taught myself the electric and classical guitar there. I then studied at the Conservatoire de musique du Québec in Montreal in classical guitar in the class of Jean Vallières. While continuing my studies, I began to have professional contracts at the age of 18. I thus evolve with different groups from the Montreal scene. Then I continued at the University of Montreal in Peter Mchutcheon’s class. With him I founded the University of Montreal Guitar Quartet. At the same time, I collaborate with singer Fred Fortin as well as with the MG3 (Montreal Guitar Trio). I then explored medieval music with the Red Dragon and members of the NEF. Subsequently, I became a solo guitarist for the godfather of Quebec rock, Michel Pagliaro. Which allowed me to perform on all the major stages in Quebec. I also collaborated with Éric Lapointe, André Fortin (Les Colocs), Régine Chassagne (Arcade Fire) and the French singer Jacques Higelin. In summary, I have always tried to remain open-minded and play all possible styles of music. Looking forward to playing with you!

⭐ "Fred est un super professeur! Très patient et expert en la matière, il sait s'adapter et donne toujours les meilleurs conseils pour que je puisse progresser. Je recommande sans hésiter pour quiconque veut apprendre ou perfectionner la guitare. Il pourrait même vous découvrir un nouveau talent de chanteuse!"
