Meet your Guitar Faculty in Toronto

Academic Pedigree

Toronto's guitar faculty on Musiprof trained at serious schools — Humber College, Berklee College of Music, and the New England Conservatory on the jazz side, with the University of Toronto, York University, The Royal Conservatory of Music, and Trinity College London rounding out the classical credentials.

For an adult student, that means real pedagogy rather than someone showing you their favourite riffs. A well-trained teacher builds your technique and ear systematically while keeping lessons anchored in music you care about.

Local Presence

Our guitar teachers live across the city — Downtown and The Annex, Riverdale and Parkdale, High Park–Swansea, and out to East York, North York, and Etobicoke. Wherever you are on the map, a teacher is probably nearby.

Lessons run at your home, in the teacher's studio, or online, and most teachers are flexible about mixing formats. No hauling a gig bag across the city after work unless you want to.

Curated Expertise

Jazz is the faculty's strongest suit, with classical guitar a close second — and between those poles the teachers cover the fingerstyle, blues, and songwriter territory most adults actually want. Tell us where you're headed and we'll match the specialist.

Adults arrive here in every state: total beginners, returners with a dusty guitar in the closet, and self-taught players ready to break through a plateau. All three are everyday students for this faculty.

Where do lessons take place?

Musiprof is a marketplace of independent, vetted teachers — not a school with one address. You choose how and where you learn:

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 guitar lessons

Am I too old to learn guitar?
No — adult beginners and returners are the everyday reality of our Toronto guitar faculty. Adults tend to progress steadily because they practise with intent, and guitar rewards short, regular sessions that fit around a working life.
Should I start on acoustic or electric?
Start on the guitar that matches the music you want to play — electric is actually easier on the fingers at first. If you already own one, begin with that; your teacher can advise on setup and a next purchase when it matters.
I taught myself years ago and I'm stuck. Can lessons fix that?
That plateau is one of the most common reasons adults come to us. A trained teacher can quickly identify the two or three habits holding you back — often in the first lesson — and give you a practice structure that turns playing time into progress.
How does matching work, and can I switch teachers?
Matching is free — we pair you based on your neighbourhood, style, and level, whether you lean jazz, classical, or somewhere in between. If the fit isn't right, we rematch you at no cost.

The Musiprof Community

Many of our guitar instructors in Toronto 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.
