Violin teachers in Villeray studied at the Schulich School of Music at McGill, the Conservatoire de Montréal, Université de Montréal and Vincent-d'Indy. Classical training is the backbone, often alongside orchestral and chamber experience.
The roster mixes teachers who live in the neighborhood with others who travel in from across Montreal. All are screened for pedagogy, not just performance credentials.
Lessons take place in homes throughout Villeray, from the streets around Jarry Park to the blocks near De Castelnau. It's a neighborhood where the sound of a child practicing scales through an open summer window doesn't feel out of place.
The Jarry and Jean-Talon métro stations keep the area easy to reach for visiting teachers, while resident teachers often simply walk to their students.
Classical repertoire and technique lead the way, with teachers experienced in gentle first lessons for young children as well as traditional method books. Fiddle and folk styles are available for students drawn to them.
Exam and audition preparation, youth-orchestra support and posture-first fundamentals for adult beginners round out the offer.
Musiprof is a marketplace of independent, vetted teachers — not a school with one address. You choose how and where you learn:
Learn at your teacher's private studio.
Your teacher travels to you, for a small travel fee.
Live one-on-one video lessons, from anywhere.
Musiprof is a service that connects users to qualified private teachers who teach from their private studio locations or travel to your home in the Villeray area. Please view individual teacher profiles for their specific teaching locations.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Many of our violin instructors in Montreal also coach our Band Program. When you learn with us, you're not just getting a teacher; you're joining a local network of musicians.
