The drum teachers who serve Villeray are university- and cégep-trained musicians with formal study in jazz, popular music and percussion. Many are active players in Montreal's scene, gigging and recording between lessons.
Because drummers tend to teach across the city, Musiprof vets each one for teaching experience as well as playing ability. You get a working musician who also knows how to break skills down for a beginner.
These teachers travel to you, whether you're near Jarry Park, by the Jean-Talon métro or on a quiet street off rue Villeray. The orange line and the bus corridor along Jarry make the neighborhood an easy stop on a teaching route.
Lessons happen where your setup lives: a basement corner, a bedroom electronic kit or a practice pad at the kitchen table. Teachers adapt the lesson to whatever gear you have.
Coverage spans rock, pop, funk, jazz and Latin grooves, plus rudiments and reading for students who want solid fundamentals. Several teachers prepare students for school ensembles and first bands.
For apartment dwellers, teachers are used to building serious technique on electronic kits and pads, saving full-volume playing for occasional sessions in a rehearsal space.
Musiprof is a marketplace of independent, vetted teachers — not a school with one address. You choose how and where you learn:
Learn at your teacher's private studio.
Your teacher travels to you, for a small travel fee.
Live one-on-one video lessons, from anywhere.
Musiprof is a service that connects users to qualified private teachers who teach from their private studio locations or travel to your home in the Villeray area. Please view individual teacher profiles for their specific teaching locations.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Many of our drum instructors in Montreal also coach our Band Program. When you learn with us, you're not just getting a teacher; you're joining a local network of musicians.
