Academic Pedigree

Guitar teachers working in Villeray trained at McGill, Université de Montréal, UQAM and Concordia, while others studied at Berklee or came up through Cégep de Saint-Laurent and Cégep Marie-Victorin. Their paths cover jazz programs, classical guitar and popular-music studies.

Some live in the neighborhood; others cross town to teach here. Either way, every teacher on the platform is vetted for both playing credentials and real teaching experience.

Local Presence

Lessons happen in homes across Villeray, from the blocks around Jarry Park to the streets near avenue De Castelnau. It's an easy neighborhood to teach in, flat, walkable and full of families who've made music part of the weekly routine.

Teachers coming from elsewhere in Montreal ride in on the orange line, with Jarry and Jean-Talon stations putting most addresses within a short walk. Local teachers often arrive by bike in the warmer months.

Curated Expertise

Expect strong coverage of the styles guitarists actually want to play: fingerstyle and folk, blues, rock, jazz standards and pop songwriting. Classical guitar with proper technique and reading is available too.

Several teachers are comfortable starting complete beginners, including adults who bought a guitar one quiet winter and want to finally use it. Kids' lessons lean on songs they already know to keep motivation high.

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

Do I need to own a guitar before my first lesson in Villeray?
It helps, but it isn't required for the very first meeting; your teacher can advise you on what to buy or rent based on your hands, budget and goals. Entry-level acoustics and rentals are easy to find at Montreal music shops.
I'm an adult who has never played. Is it too late to start guitar?
Not at all, and adult beginners make up a meaningful share of our Villeray students. Progress on guitar comes quickly at the start, so most adults are playing simple songs within a few weeks.
How do teachers get to my place if I'm not right beside a métro?
Villeray is well served by the Jarry, Jean-Talon and De Castelnau stations, plus frequent buses along Jarry and Saint-Denis. Teachers confirm your address before matching, so travel is factored in from the start.
Can lessons be taught in French, English or another language?
Yes. Most teachers work comfortably in French and English, and you set your language preference when you request a match so the fit is right from lesson one.
