Academic Pedigree
Piano teachers in The Annex trained at the University of Toronto Faculty of Music and The Royal Conservatory of Music, both minutes from the neighbourhood. Several teach or accompany within those institutions alongside their private students.
Each teacher is vetted for pedagogy, not just performance chops. Explaining hand position to an eight-year-old is a different skill from playing a recital, and we screen for both.
Local Presence
The Annex's Victorian homes between Bathurst and Spadina stations hold more pianos per block than most of the city, from apartment uprights to living-room grands. Lessons happen at your instrument, on your street.
Our teachers are based in and around The Annex, and most reach students on foot or by a short subway ride along Bloor. That proximity makes consistent weekly lessons easy to keep.
Curated Expertise
Teachers here cover classical repertoire, pop and jazz, theory, and Royal Conservatory exam preparation. Whether you want grades or just songs you love, the lesson bends to the goal.
The student mix runs from young children to University of Toronto students to adults returning after decades. Returning players are a specialty in this neighbourhood, not an afterthought.

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.
