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 piano lessons

How often should piano lessons be?
Piano lessons generally take place once a week. This frequency gives students enough time to practise the material from their lesson. Developing good practise habits is important, therefore having 7 days between lessons gives students the right amount of time integrate the content of their lesson.
Is one piano lesson a week enough?
One piano lesson a week is enough for most students. For some, an extra weekly lesson can be used to study a complementary topic such as piano technique, music theory or music history.
A second weekly lesson can also be used to revisit some of the material that was covered in the first lesson. This is useful for students who may have a bit more difficulty working on materials on their own.
How long will it take to learn piano?
To answer this question, you first need to determine what your goal is for learning the piano. For example, if you’re a beginner and you’d like to be able to read simple sheet music as well as play a few songs like Amazing Grace, or Jingle Bells, then most students can achieve this with weekly piano lessons for around 3-6 months.
On the other hand, If you would like to reach a high level, then it will take considerably longer. According to a study by a famous psychologist name Anders Ericsson, it took elite musicians studying at the best music academies in the world around 10 000 hours of practise. That is about 3 hours of daily practise for 10 years.
What age should children start their piano lessons?
We recommend that children begin piano classes between 5-9 years old. Kids younger than 5 will have trouble learning because they haven’t developed the proper motor skills. That being said, children under the age of 5 can take music classes, however, they should focus on percussion, singing, and simple ear training.
