Meet your Piano & Violin Faculty in Toronto

Academic Pedigree

Toronto's dual-instrument teachers hold serious credentials on both instruments — backgrounds include the University of Toronto, ARCT diplomas from The Royal Conservatory of Music, and conservatoire training from Trinity Laban in London.

A teacher trained in both keyboard and strings connects what you learn on one instrument to the other — reading, theory, and ear training carry over instead of being taught twice.

Local Presence

These teachers are based across Downtown Toronto, The Annex, Parkdale, Mount Pleasant East, and North York — most within a short walk of Line 1 and Line 2 stations.

Lessons run at the teacher's studio, at your home, or online. For families, one at-home visit can cover a piano lesson and a violin lesson back-to-back.

Curated Expertise

This page suits two situations: siblings who play different instruments and want a single teacher and time slot, and students adding a second instrument with one consistent musical approach.

The faculty leans classical — Royal Conservatory exam preparation is available on both instruments — with teachers who also cover pop and fiddle styles. Tell us your setup and we'll match you, free.

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 & violin lessons

Can one teacher really teach both piano and violin well?
Yes — every teacher listed here has real training on both instruments, not just a main instrument and a hobby. Many hold performance credentials in both, and Musiprof verifies credentials before a teacher is approved.
Can two kids share one lesson visit?
That's one of the most popular ways to use a dual-instrument teacher. The teacher comes once and teaches back-to-back lessons — one child at the piano, the other on violin — which simplifies family scheduling.
Can we prepare RCM exams on both instruments with one teacher?
Yes — several of our dual-instrument teachers hold Royal Conservatory credentials and prepare students for RCM examinations on piano and violin alike, including the theory co-requisites.
How does matching work?
Tell us who's learning, which instrument or instruments, and your neighbourhood in Toronto. We propose a vetted teacher suited to your level and goals — the matching service is free, and you can request a different match anytime.
