Academic Pedigree

Guitar teachers in Mile End hold degrees from McGill, Université de Montréal, UQAM and Concordia, with several trained at Berklee. Their formal studies sit on top of real gigging experience in this neighbourhood's venues.

Others came up through Cégep de Saint-Laurent and Cégep Marie-Victorin, two of Québec's strongest programs for jazz and popular guitar. Musiprof reviews every teacher's background before they take students.

Local Presence

Mile End is the neighbourhood that gave Montréal its indie-rock reputation, and some of our guitar teachers live and work right here, among the lofts and flats off Saint-Viateur and Bernard. Others travel in for at-home lessons.

Lessons are easy to reach via métro Laurier or Rosemont and the 80 bus down avenue du Parc, or on foot from anywhere between Saint-Laurent and the tracks.

Curated Expertise

Expect strong coverage of indie, rock, folk and jazz guitar, along with songwriting and home-recording guidance that reflects how music actually gets made in this neighbourhood. Fingerstyle and classical players are served too.

Whether you want to write your first songs, join a band, or finally learn the instrument sitting in your apartment corner, teachers here build lessons around your goal rather than a fixed method book.

Learn at your teacher's private studio.

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 guitar lessons

Is Mile End really a special place to learn guitar?
It has a fair claim. This is the neighbourhood associated with Arcade Fire and a generation of indie bands, and many teachers here are active players in that same scene. Learning where your teacher also gigs changes what they can show you.
What gear do I need for lessons?
Just a playable guitar, acoustic or electric. If you go electric, a small practice amp or headphone amp is enough for an apartment. Your teacher can check your setup at the first lesson and suggest affordable fixes before you buy anything new.
Are lessons at my home or the teacher's space?
Both exist in Mile End. Some teachers host students in home studios or shared creative spaces near Saint-Viateur, while others come to you. Pick the format that fits your week when you book.
How does teacher matching work?
Tell us your style, level and goals, and we match you with a teacher who serves Mile End and fits that profile. If the chemistry is not right after a lesson or two, you can request a rematch without losing your remaining lessons.
