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 penalty (the lesser of $50 or 10% of the remaining value), as per Quebec consumer protection law.
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.
More about drum lessons
What equipment do I need for my drum lessons?
The teacher will provide the drum set unless you have signed up for home lessons.
In general, it is a good idea for students to have a drum set at home for practise, but it is not required.
Is it better to learn on electronic or acoustic drums?
That being said, a lot of people simply can’t have an instrument as loud as an acoustic drum set in their home.
In these cases, an electronic drum set is the solution. Electronic drums are a lot of fun and offer a quieter alternative to an acoustic kit.
How do I choose the best electronic drum kit for my needs?
To better understand the different factors as well as to consult a list of electronic drums,
read our article: How to choose the best electronic drums to meet my needs?
Do online drum lessons work well?
You will need a high speed internet connection, a laptop with a webcam and a microphone to properly control the drum set volume.
If you have an electronic drum kit, it is possible to plug it directly into a computer with USB. This will allow you to easily adjust the volume.
*Studying drumming technique with a practice pad is more easily done online.
