Academic Pedigree

Violin teachers serving Hochelaga-Maisonneuve trained at the Schulich School of Music at McGill, the Conservatoire de Montréal, Université de Montréal and Vincent-d'Indy. Orchestral and chamber experience is common alongside their degrees.

The mix includes teachers based in HoMa and others who travel in from elsewhere in Montreal. Every one of them is screened for how they teach, not just how they play.

Local Presence

Lessons take place in homes across HoMa, from the streets near Marché Maisonneuve to the blocks around the Joliette and Pie-IX métros. The neighborhood's young creative families have made room for plenty of small violins in small apartments.

The green line keeps the area easy to reach for visiting teachers, while those living in the neighborhood often come on foot. Either way, the lesson happens where your music stand already is.

Curated Expertise

Classical technique and repertoire form the core, with careful, encouraging first lessons for young children and structured method work for older students. Québécois trad and folk fiddle are available for players drawn to that side of the instrument.

Teachers also support exam preparation, youth orchestra auditions and adult beginners who want posture and tone built right from the first bow stroke.

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 violin lessons

Where can we rent a child-sized violin, and who decides the size?
Your teacher measures your child at the first lesson and tells you the exact fractional size to ask for. Montreal string shops rent quality instruments month to month, which makes sense until your child reaches full size.
How does Musiprof choose which violin teacher we get?
We match based on your goals, the student's age, your language preference and your address in HoMa. If the pairing doesn't feel right after a lesson or two, we rematch you with another teacher at no cost.
Can lessons happen in French, English or both?
Yes, most teachers are comfortable in both languages and follow the student's lead. You state your preference when requesting a match so it's settled before the first lesson.
Is daily violin practice realistic in a HoMa apartment?
Yes. Fifteen to twenty focused minutes is plenty for beginners, and a rubber practice mute keeps evening sessions considerate. Your teacher can also front-load the quietest exercises for late-day practice.
