Academic Pedigree

Our pop piano teachers combine serious training with a relaxed, song-first approach. Many studied at institutions like Schulich (McGill), Université de Montréal, Concordia, UQAM and Vincent-d'Indy before building careers playing and teaching popular music.

That mix means you get proper technique without the formality: teachers who can explain why a chord progression works, then get you playing it in the same lesson.

Local Presence

Pop piano teachers are spread across Montréal's neighbourhoods, from Hochelaga and the Plateau to NDG, Ahuntsic and the South-West. Lessons happen at the teacher's studio, in your home or online, whichever fits your week.

Most studios are a short walk from a métro station, and online lessons work especially well for adults balancing work schedules. You choose the format; the teaching stays the same.

Curated Expertise

Pop piano is built on chords, rhythm and ear. You learn to read chord charts, craft accompaniment patterns, and play melodies by ear, skills that let you open a song you love and figure it out yourself.

Repertoire follows your taste: film themes, singer-songwriter ballads, current chart hits or the classics you grew up with. Theory shows up only when it helps you play, never as an obstacle.

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.

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 I need to read sheet music to learn pop piano?
No. Pop piano leans on chord charts and playing by ear, which most students pick up much faster than traditional notation. Many teachers introduce some reading gradually because it opens more music, but you will be playing real songs long before you can sight-read.
I'm an adult beginner. Is it too late to start?
Not at all, and pop piano is one of the friendliest places to start as an adult. Chord-based playing produces satisfying results within weeks, and our teachers are used to working around jobs, kids and rusty confidence. Progress comes from consistency, not age.
Is a basic keyboard enough to get started?
A sixty-one-key keyboard is enough for your first months of chords and songs. When you are ready to invest, a weighted eighty-eight-key digital piano is the natural next step, and your teacher can recommend models that suit your budget and apartment.
Can I choose the songs we work on?
Yes, and we encourage it. Lessons built around music you actually want to play keep motivation high, and your teacher will use your choices to sneak in technique, rhythm and theory. Bring a list to your first lesson.
