Academic Pedigree

Teachers serving Little Italy trained at schools like the University of Toronto and Humber College, and many perform regularly around the city. That mix of study and stage time shows up in how they teach.

Each teacher is vetted before working with students, and we match on personality as well as skill. A good first lesson should feel like a conversation, not an audition.

Local Presence

Little Italy centres on College Street between Bathurst and Ossington, where cafés and patios give way to family homes and shared student houses on the side streets. Lessons happen in both, at whatever time fits.

Our teachers are based in and around Little Italy, arriving by the College streetcar, by bike, or on foot. You never have to fight for parking or haul an instrument across town.

Curated Expertise

Piano, guitar, voice, violin, and drums are all taught here, from first notes to advanced repertoire. Teachers shape each lesson around the student rather than a fixed curriculum.

The neighbourhood's mix of young families and students means teachers here are comfortable with after-school beginners and adult learners alike. Households often book back-to-back lessons on the same visit.

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 you teach adults, or mainly kids?
Both. Little Italy teachers regularly split their week between school-age beginners and adults, and the lesson plan changes completely depending on who is learning.
How much space do we need at home?
A corner of the living room is enough for most instruments. If you have a keyboard, guitar, or practice pad and a couple of chairs, you have a studio.
What happens if we miss a week?
Lessons can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Your teacher works with your calendar, which is the point of learning at home in the first place.
Which instrument is best for a first instrument?
Piano and guitar are common starting points because progress comes quickly, but the honest answer is whichever one the student is drawn to. Your teacher can help you decide at the first lesson.
