Academic Pedigree

Our downtown piano teachers hold degrees from the Schulich School of Music at McGill, Université de Montréal, Concordia and UQAM. Several trained at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal or Vincent-d'Indy and perform professionally across the city.

That depth means you can find a classical pedagogue for exam preparation or a working jazz pianist for improvisation without leaving the core.

Local Presence

This one page covers all of downtown: the Quartier des Spectacles, the Village, Centre-Sud and Old Montréal included. Wherever you live or work in the core, the same roster serves you.

Most teaching spots sit a short walk from the Peel, McGill or Berri-UQAM métro stations, so a lesson slots in before or after work. Home lessons in condos near Place des Arts or the Old Port are common too.

Curated Expertise

Downtown draws a deep bench of pianists covering classical repertoire, RCM exam prep, jazz, pop and film music. Adult beginners and returning players are the most common students here.

Teachers are used to condo setups and digital pianos, and shape practice plans around a busy work week. Auditions and exams get structured, deadline-driven coaching.

Where do lessons take place?

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 piano lessons

Do piano lessons happen at my place or in a studio?
Both formats exist downtown. Many teachers host students near their home studio in the core, while others travel to your condo or office. You pick the format when you book.
Which métro stations are handy for in-person lessons?
Peel, McGill and Berri-UQAM cover most downtown teaching locations. The Village and Old Montréal are a short walk or one stop away, so car-free students manage easily.
I'm an adult starting from scratch — is that unusual?
Not at all; adult beginners are a large part of the downtown student base. Teachers set a pace built around your work week, usually one lesson plus short daily practice blocks.
How do I practice piano in a condo without disturbing neighbours?
A digital piano with weighted keys and headphones solves most of it. Your teacher can recommend a model that fits your space and budget before you buy anything.
