Academic Pedigree

The drum teachers who travel to Outremont are university- and cégep-trained, with formal backgrounds in jazz and popular music.

Their teaching mixes reading, groove and coordination work — the same fundamentals taught in post-secondary programs.

Local Presence

Lessons come to you; teachers reach Outremont easily via the Outremont and Édouard-Montpetit métro stations and teach in family homes across the neighbourhood.

On quiet residential streets between avenue Bernard and the mountain, electronic kits and practice pads keep the volume neighbourly while skills build.

Curated Expertise

Foundations are the focus: timing, limb independence and reading, applied to rock, pop and jazz.

Teachers structure home practice around whatever setup you have, from a simple practice pad to a full electronic kit.

At the teacher's studio

Learn at your teacher's private studio.

At your home

Your teacher travels to you, for a small travel fee.

Online

Live one-on-one video lessons, from anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any hidden fees or subscriptions?

No. The price on a teacher's profile is the full price you pay — no subscriptions, no contact fees. Some teachers who are members of the GMMQ (Quebec Musicians' Guild) include a pension surcharge, but this is always included in the displayed price. You are only charged when a lesson is confirmed by your teacher.

Do you offer in-person lessons near me?

Yes — Musiprof primarily connects you with teachers near you for in-person lessons at home or in studio. Online lessons are also available. Beyond private lessons, we offer a band program and community recitals for a complete musical experience.

What happens after I purchase?

The teacher will contact you within 24–48 hours to schedule your first lesson. If there's no contact within that window, Musiprof follows up on your behalf.

What is the refund policy?

You only pay for lessons taken. We refund untaken lessons minus a small cancellation fee (the lesser of $50 or 10% of the remaining value).

How frequently do lessons unfold?

By default, lessons are designed to be taken once per week to help you maintain consistency and momentum. A 5-lesson package, for example, is intended to be completed in 5 consecutive weeks. However, we understand that every student's goals are unique. If your teacher agrees, lessons can be scheduled at a different frequency (e.g., every 2 weeks or once per month). Please discuss your preferred schedule with your teacher during your first contact. Your package includes a 30-day grace period after your last scheduled session. If you are doing bi-weekly lessons, ask your teacher to extend your session dates in the system to ensure your file remains active.

Is there a Satisfaction Guarantee?

Yes! We want you to find the perfect match. If your first session isn't right, contact us within 48 hours. We'll credit 50% of the lesson cost back to your account so you can try a different teacher immediately.

Why should I pay through Musiprof instead of paying my teacher directly?

Paying through Musiprof is what keeps you protected — the Satisfaction Guarantee, refunds, and dispute support only apply to payments made on the platform. Paying a teacher directly (cash, e-transfer) voids those protections, and we can't help if something goes wrong. If a teacher ever asks you to pay outside Musiprof, please let us know.

Is Musiprof like a music school with semesters?

No. Musiprof has no semesters, terms or registration deadlines. You start with a single first lesson, covered by our Satisfaction Guarantee. After that, you continue at your own pace: buy a package of lessons or pay lesson by lesson. Unused lessons are refundable, and you can switch teachers at any time.

Do I have to buy a package?

No. After your first lesson, you can buy a package (usually a better price per lesson) or pay à la carte, where your card is charged after each completed lesson. Each teacher sets their own prices and lesson formats (in studio, at home or online), so check their profile for the details.

More about drum lessons

Can drums really work in an Outremont home?
Yes, with an electronic kit or practice pad — both keep volume low enough for family life. Teachers design lessons around whichever setup you have.
Should we buy a kit before the first lesson?
No; start with sticks and a practice pad, which cover fundamentals for months. Your teacher will advise on an electronic kit once commitment is clear.
What age can kids start drum lessons?
Six or seven is a common starting point, sometimes younger with pad-based lessons. Teachers shorten and gamify sessions for young beginners.
How do weekly at-home lessons stay consistent?
You set a fixed weekly slot and the teacher travels to you, usually after school or early evening. Rescheduling goes through the platform so nothing gets lost.
