Academic Pedigree

Burnaby adults learn with teachers trained at institutions like UBC, Capilano University and Berklee, with many holding Royal Conservatory of Music certifications. Every teacher is vetted before joining Musiprof.

Most balance teaching with active performing around Metro Vancouver, so lessons stay grounded in how music is actually played, not just how it looks on the page.

Local Presence

Lessons run across Burnaby, from Metrotown and Edmonds up to Brentwood and the Heights. At-home lessons are the most popular choice for adults, with some teachers also hosting students in their own studios.

The Expo and Millennium SkyTrain lines make the city easy to cover, so whether you are near Metrotown station or up by Brentwood Town Centre, a good match is close by.

Curated Expertise

Piano, guitar and voice top the list for Burnaby adults, alongside drums, violin and songwriting. Lessons are built around your goals, from learning favourite songs to preparing Royal Conservatory exams.

Teachers here see a lot of adult beginners and returners, so there is no assumption that you read music or remember your childhood lessons. You start exactly where you are.

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 music lessons

Do teachers come to my home in Burnaby?
Yes, at-home lessons are the standard option and teachers cover neighbourhoods across Burnaby, including Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds and the Heights.
I work downtown and get home late. Can lessons still work?
Evening and weekend lessons are common. Since you schedule directly with your teacher, it is easy to set a time after your SkyTrain ride home on the Expo or Millennium line.
Can I work toward Royal Conservatory exams as an adult?
Absolutely. Several teachers prepare students for RCM exams at all levels, and others focus purely on playing for enjoyment. Just tell us which direction appeals to you.
What instruments can I learn?
Piano, guitar, voice, drums, violin, bass, ukulele and more. If you are torn between two instruments, mention it and we can suggest a teacher who covers both.
