Meet your Music Faculty in Montreal

Academic Pedigree

Montreal's faculty spans every major instrument, with teachers trained at Schulich (McGill), Université de Montréal, the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal, UQAM, Concordia and Vincent-d'Indy. Every teacher is vetted before taking on students.

That training matters for adults: a well-trained teacher builds a plan around your goals and your real practice time, and knows how to keep a busy adult progressing instead of plateauing.

Local Presence

Teachers live and teach across the island — the Plateau, Mile End, Rosemont, Villeray, NDG, Verdun, Ahuntsic and downtown — so lessons happen at your home, at a nearby studio, or online around a work schedule.

Most studios sit near a métro line, and online lessons cover the weeks when getting anywhere after work isn't happening.

Curated Expertise

Adults are the platform's most common students: complete beginners finally acting on an old wish, returners dusting off childhood lessons, and self-taught players ready to break a plateau. Every path is normal here.

Not sure which instrument? Piano gives the strongest foundation, guitar the fastest songs, voice needs no gear at all. Tell us what you love listening to and our free matching proposes the teacher — and instrument — that fits.

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

Am I too old to start learning music?
No — adults in their 30s, 50s and beyond start with our teachers every week, and they often progress faster than kids at first because they practise with intention. The plan is built around your goals, not a children's method book.
Which instrument should I choose as an adult beginner?
Piano builds the strongest all-round foundation, guitar gets you playing songs fastest, and voice requires no equipment at all. If a particular instrument has always pulled at you, follow that — motivation beats strategy.
How do lessons fit around a full-time job?
You set the rhythm: weekly evening lessons at home, lunchtime online sessions, or weekend slots at a teacher's studio. Because teachers are spread across Montreal and teach online too, a workable slot almost always exists.
How does matching work, and can I switch teachers?
Tell us the instrument (or let us suggest one), your level, neighbourhood and schedule, and we propose a vetted teacher — the matching service is free. If the fit isn't right, we rematch you at no cost.
