Very good platform that bridges you with great music teachers! I am using for over 1.5 months and I am very satisfied!

Isaac is an amazing tutor! He is kind and understands your needs, adapting himself to your ways of learning towards your goal!
He is super friendly and very capable at what he does!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Il y a un an, j’ai décidé de reprendre la musique là où je l’avais laissé, c’est-à-dire il y a longtemps. De façon autodidacte, je m’y suis remise, mais j’ai finalement stagné. J’ai donc décidé de suivre des cours de flûte, en ligne, avec Étienne G. Il est un très bon pédagogue et très généreux. Il est très expérimenté et compétent. Il a été à l’écoute de mes besoins et m’a donné la poussée dans le dos pour continuer d’évoluer. Je vous le recommande.

J’avais le projet de débuter le chant à l’âge adulte, après avoir joué du piano durant mon enfance et mon adolescence. J’ai apprécié que les profils des professeurs soient bien explicites sur le site de MusiProf, car cela m’a permis de choisir une professeure qui correspondait à mes besoins. Je dois dire que je suis très heureuse de mon choix. Alice est une personne bienveillante, compétente et à l’écoute de l’élève. Elle valorise avant tout la curiosité, le désir d’apprendre et le plaisir de l’exécution plutôt que la perfection dans la performance, ce qui me correspond parfaitement. Je me sens choyée d’avoir pu me lancer dans ce tout nouveau parcours avec elle pour m’accompagner. Pour le moment, je suis très satisfaite de mon expérience avec MusiProf et je recommande vivement cette plateforme.

J’ai beaucoup apprécié mes cours de batterie chez Musiprof avec Josué. L’option de cours en ligne me convenait parfaitement . Le contact avec Josué était agréable et j’ai pu apprendre les bases pour jouer de la batterie étant donné que j’étais débutant.
J’ai apprécié qu’il parle espagnol. Je vais poursuivre d’autres cours avec Josué dans le futur.

My experience with Musiprof has been incredibly so far. My teacher started from the very beginning, and I’m improving more than I expected. Soon my piano knowledge will consolidate thanks to my teacher who I found in Musiprof. I highly recommend it, as it is the easiest way to find the best music teachers in one place.

I lost my motivation to learn guitar in 2022 after feeling I wasn’t making much progress and I didn’t play with it for 1 year. Last summer in 2023, I took a chance and contacted Musiprof and tried with Elijah.

It almost been 1 year since, I am still learning guitar with Elijah and I feel like I am making better progress. The studio he receives me for our class is close to where I live, so it is convenient for me. He is patient and understanding. When I don’t feel good, he takes few minutes to listen to me before we begin the class, so it helps me be cheer up and not be distracted. I also took interest in drumming, he takes few moments to show me and let me try.

I have been having fun with the classes and it been helping me distract from the stuff going on my personal life. I attended a small concert consisting of Musiprof students and they sounded great. I recommend Musiprof and Elijah Baker for anyone wanting to learning music.

J’adore mon professeur, il me donne de précieux conseils et me permet d’avancer. Je considère donc ces cours comme un bon investissement puisque j’en retire quelque chose. Hugo me donne les notions nécessaires pour évoluer et est ouvert d’esprit qu’en à mes choix musicaux, il m’aide vraiment à m’améliorer et à atteindre de beaux objectifs. Bravo Hugo!

Quand j’ai commencé les cours avec François, j’avais déjà essayé le banjo clawhammer, mais j’étais bloquée. Les vidéos sur YouTube ne suffisaient plus — j’avais besoin d’un vrai prof.

Dès les premières leçons, j’ai vu la différence : après quatre cours, je jouais déjà une chanson complète! François a une super oreille, et il sait expliquer clairement, sans mettre de pression.

Avec lui, je me sens à l’aise de faire des erreurs. Il est réaliste : il dit que ça prend du travail et que c’est normal d’avoir des hauts et des bas. Mais il sait motiver et guider avec justesse. C’est un prof généreux, honnête, et vraiment agréable.

Je recommande vivement Sylvain comme professeur de piano. Il est très compétent et sa passion pour la musique est contagieuse. Sa patience et son attention aux détails font de lui un enseignant exceptionnel. De plus, il ajoute toujours une touche d’humour à nos cours, rendant l’apprentissage à la fois enrichissant et agréable. Que vous soyez débutant ou pianiste avancé, Sylvain saura vous guider avec expertise et bienveillance.

Mon fils de 9 ans a débuté le piano avec Annalise.
Très patiente, elle a su trouver le juste milieu entre l’aider à se dépasser et respecter ses limites. Il fait de très beaux progrès et apprends dans des conditions très saines, il est ravi de se rendre à son cours chaque semaine. Merci !

J’aime beaucoup ma première expérience avec l’Académie de musique de Montréal. Ils ont plein d’enseignants talentueux et disponibles. J’apprécie pouvoir suivre les cours de chez moi et avoir accès à des spécialistes, car j’habite en région éloignée.

Les leçons de batterie données par Dominic de l’Académie de musique de Mtl sont parfaites. J’ai pu trouver une plage horaire qui me plaisait et les cours sont adaptés. Le prof est vraiment compétent et sympathique. Je recommande!

I cannot recommend Valentina highly enough! As an adult absolute beginner, I was nervous about starting piano lessons, but she made the experience so enjoyable and approachable. Her patience, encouragement, and clear way of teaching helped me build confidence and progress faster than I expected. She creates a warm, supportive environment that makes learning fun, and she tailors lessons to my pace and goals. If you’re looking for a piano teacher who is not only skilled but also kind and inspiring, Valentina is the perfect choice!

Je ne peux que recommander Valentina ! En tant que débutant adulte, j’étais un peu nerveuse à l’idée de commencer le piano, mais elle a rendu l’expérience si agréable et accessible. Sa patience, ses encouragements et sa manière claire d’expliquer m’ont aidée à prendre confiance et à progresser plus vite que je ne l’imaginais. Elle crée un environnement chaleureux et bienveillant qui rend l’apprentissage vraiment plaisant, et elle adapte ses cours à mon rythme et à mes objectifs. Si vous cherchez une professeure de piano à la fois talentueuse, gentille et inspirante, Valentina est le choix idéal !

I have been taking music theory and ear training class with Chooi since November 2024 and enjoy it so much! She possesses solid background and rich knowledge in the field of music, and is a super kind, patient teacher. She also tailors the courses to best suit the student’s needs. For example, I sing in a choir, and each year we have a Christmas concert. This year, the program had several difficult pieces which were out of my comfort zone. Knowing my worries, Chooi helped me practice the music intensively before the concert so I felt fully prepared and confident for the performance 🙂 I’m so thankful to have found Chooi’s class via the Music Academy and would definitely recommend it not only to someone who wants to learn the piano (which is Chooi’s main area of teaching), but also to anyone who is interested in improving their sight reading skills, knowledge of harmony/rhythm, etc.

TL;DR: I highly recommend Tristan—especially for adult learners of all levels!

I’ve been taking lessons with Tristan for a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Right from the start, I was impressed by how responsive he was—he got back to me quickly after I submitted the contact form, which immediately made a great impression.

What drew me to his studio was the clear emphasis on building an adult piano community. Unlike other studios where I was often the only adult student, Tristan creates a space that’s welcoming, inclusive, and tailored specifically for adult learners. The adult-only recitals are such a unique and encouraging part of the experience. (The kiddos have their own!)

Scheduling lessons is flexible, which is a huge plus given my sometimes chaotic work weeks. Tristan’s teaching style is both clear and motivating—his techniques for building good habits and developing strong fundamentals made a noticeable difference for me within just a few weeks (as long as I practiced!). With him, I also built a huge confidence in public playing, as well as a general understanding of how to prepare for performances.

One of the things I’ve appreciated most is the chance to connect with other adult pianists around my age. Being able to hear each other’s progress and share music we’ve been working on adds so much joy and inspiration.

Each week, I genuinely look forward to my lesson. I always leave feeling encouraged, re-energized, and excited to keep making music. I personally plan to continue taking lessons with Tristan for as long as I can!

I’ve been going here for several years and I can confidently say that this is the best music institution I’ve been to. Tristan Lauber provides an organized program that is both fun and professional. Would highly recommend.

J’ai étudié avec Tristan de l’âge de 10 ans jusqu’à 17 ans. En 7 ans voici la liste des résultats de mon travail avec lui.

J’ai remporté plusieurs premiers prix lors de divers concours, tels que le concours Pierre-De Saurel et le concours de l’APMQ, avec des notes allant de 91 à 98%.

En juin 2022 : médaille d’or dans la catégorie des 15 ans et moins au concours international WPTA en Finlande, pour mon interprétation des cinq premières études de l’opus 10 de Chopin.

En fait, c’est grâce à une vidéo sur YouTube où à l’âge de 15 ans, j’ai enchaîné les 12 études opus 10 de Chopin, que j’ai eu l’honneur d’être personnellement invité par le pianiste Louis Lortie à participer à des cours de maître à l’Académie de Musique Wilhelm Kempff en Italie en juillet 2022.

J’ai remporté le deuxième prix dans la catégorie des 16 ans et moins au Concours de Musique du Canada, avec le premier mouvement du troisième concerto de Rachmaninov.

J’ai joué en solo au pre concert de l’orchestre métropolitain devant 2000 personnes en août 2023 et j’ai aussi participé à des concerts de bienfaisance visant à aider les orphelins en Ukraine.

Ce fût 7 sept merveilleuses années dont je me souviendrai pour toujours !

If you are looking for a top notch piano teacher Tristan Lauber is the one. I took lessons as a child and adolescent, but stopped as I did not have the passion that I do now. I practiced on my own for a while but struggled a lot and felt the need for professional guidance. Last summer I decided to start lessons with Tristan Lauber. I have several physical conditions impacting my ability to play piano and on top of that I had serious performance anxiety my whole life. I was initially worried about whether or not, my teacher would be able to adapt to my complex issues. To my surprise, Tristan Lauber went above an beyond my expectations. First of all, he worked to understand my medical conditions and how it affects my piano playing. He focuses on finding effective ways to work around my conditions and adjusts the lesson plan as necessary. I have never met a teacher as fun, caring, accommodating and supportive as him. Thanks to him I am able to play pieces, I never thought I could play and advanced at a rate I could never have imagined. My technique has also improved from day one, thanks to him. He also does a lot of work around performance anxiety and provides methods and tricks to slowly overcome it. When I first started, I used to have full blown panic attacks during lessons that would affect my playing and anxiety that would build up the morning of. Now I have minimal to no anxiety and if it happens it rarely affects my playing. I even managed to perform at 2 soirées and his yearly concert that he hosts for adults. For the first time in my life, I felt calm during the performance and was fully able to immerse myself in the music.

Another amazing thing I love about his teaching is that he focuses on the strengths first before moving onto the points of improvement. He teaches me be proud of even the small accomplishments which helps keep me motivated. He also knows how to keep the lesson serious, yet fun and engaging at the same time.

His years of experience as a teacher and concert pianist and his passion and love for teaching really shows. If you do not have any piano experience, do not worry. He has extensive experience teaching complete beginners to really advanced students of all ages.

As a bonus, joining the academy gives you several opportunities to socialize with fellow pianists and perform if you feel up for it.

Finally, I also had the honour of hearing one of Tristan Lauber’s piano performances. The way he expressed the piece literally moved me to tears. It was a masterpiece. I highly recommended hearing him play if you have the chance. You won’t be disappointed and I guarantee it will inspire you to practice more.

During tough times when I feel like giving up on everything, it’s my lessons with Tristan Lauber keep me going. I cannot put into words how grateful I am for everything that he does for me. Though he might not know or realize it, he has gotten me through some very tough times and is a big reason I continue to persevere in life no matter the obstacle. I can’t recommend him enough. If ever Tristan is not available to take on new patients, he has a team of amazing piano teachers ready to guide you in your piano journey. The price is also very reasonable for the quality of lessons.

From Day 1 we met Tristan Lauber, we met a great, skilled, and dedicated person by all means! Serious and Joyful at the same time, Tristan Lauber is not only an excellent teacher but a great coach who inspired my son and accompanied him during his 2 years journey! Tristan was always there supporting and backing up my son; He introduced him to one of the best Teachers Lucas Porter, Lucas sculpted Alonzo’s talent to render it more and more refined, expressive, and emotional! Lucas always challenged and pushed my son’s limits! He helped him achieve a great leap in his ride!
With the help, support, and guidance of both Lucas and Tristan, my son was accepted for the University Bachelor Music Performance Program in Piano!
Thank you from the heart Tristan and Lucas for making my son’s dream realized!

Tristan Lauber est un professeur de piano exceptionnel. En 1 année, j’ai pu évoluer d’un niveau intermédiaire autodidacte à celui d’un pianiste avancé. Plus important encore, notre relation a transcendé la musique et c’est la vie que j’explore à travers les sons en entrant dans son studio.

Simply put, Tristan is a wonderful teacher. On top of that, he has to be one of the most efficient people I’ve ever met. As it stands, he’s well on his way to becoming the don of a global piano empire and I’m convinced that had he not been sidetracked by the piano he’d probably be supreme overlord of the world by now. In all seriousness, Tristan is a very skilled pianist and a patient teacher, and one that I’d recommend to anyone wishing to pursue the piano. In addition to being able to help beginners and advanced students alike with their technique, Tristan can also help with solfege and theory as he was able to teach me enough of these fields to be accepted to a music cegep within just one month. Lastly, Tristan is able to provide the opportunity to play in a concert before a large audience at least once a year for those interested. All in all, Tristan is a terrific teacher and one that helped me enormously in my development as a pianist.

We’re so happy with my daughter’s piano lessons at Harmony Music Academy. Mitra is a wonderful teacher — she knows exactly how to work with young children and keeps the lessons fun and engaging. My daughter enjoys every class. Thank you, Mitra, for your patience and support!

When I first contacted Harmony Academy I was not sure if my daughter (3 year old at the time) is old enough to take lessons. They offered us a trial session and the teacher told me that she is good to start… I was still skeptical. But after couple of sessions with her teacher (Mitra) I was sure that my daughter will not only learn but also enjoy the piano! I am so impressed by Mitra’s patience and her ability to connect with a toddler while keeping it all professional!

I am very pleased with the progress my children have made at this musical institute. Their development in piano has been remarkable, and it is evident that they are gaining both skill and confidence. I would especially like to commend Ms. Nazanin for her exceptional teaching. Her enthusiasm, professionalism, and ability to inspire have had a profoundly positive impact on my children’s musical journey.

My son has been taking piano lessons with Ms Mitra Khodadadi for the past 7 months, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her teaching style. Mitra is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always tailors the lessons to my son’s interests. She creates a positive, encouraging environment that makes learning enjoyable and motivating. Whether he is tackling a difficult piece or learning new techniques, she teaches very patiently and teaches multiple times until he plays easily. I highly recommend Mitra & Harmony to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled piano teacher!! I already recommended to some of my friends and their kids also joined Harmony.

I’ve been attending piano classes at Harmony Academy of Music & Art for the past two years with Mr. Teymourian, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The teachers are exceptional instructors who are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging. The atmosphere at the academy is welcoming and conducive to learning, and I’ve seen significant progress in my piano skills since I started here. I highly recommend Harmony Academy to anyone looking to learn music in an enriching environment. Thank you for the incredible experience.

My daughter is very happy at Harmony academy of music and has made a significant progress in playing piano. His teacher, Arash Teymourian, is a dedicated music teacher with a passion for music and new teaching methods. His ability to connect with children, his patience and encouraging approach make him a truly exceptional educator.
What I love about them is that they organize concerts from time to time that help young children build their confidence and enable them to confidently play music in their group of friends and family.

As a student going on my 2nd to 3rd year of Piano I’ve made significant progress under Mr. Arash’s guidance. Mr. Arash’s teaching has not only improved my technical skills but also deepened my understanding of musical theory and application. His professionalism, personalized feedback, and encouragement have always helped me overcome challenges.
I highly recommend this academy for all ages and levels! Thank you so much again !

I have had a wonderful time learning at this school. I met a teacher that will forever be in my top 3 best teachers of all time. The whole experience is what I would define as balanced. You laugh when it’s time to laugh, you work when it’s time to work, so all around a wonderful time filled with learning and joy. There is a nice vibe and you feel welcomed from the moment you enter. I highly recommend sending your kids there or going there yourself you will not regret.

I started guitar lessons with Louie the director and it’s been going great. He’s a very patient teacher. He’s also funny, friendly, and has a lot of knowledge to share. Thanks to him I’m able to properly learn how to play the guitar. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent musique school individualized instruction nurtures both technical proficiency and creative expression. With online classes you can learn from every where in the world. It’s the ultimate destination for aspiring musicians. Highly recommended for those committed to reaching their musical potential.

Over the summer, I took one-on-one singing lessons with Louie. He really helped me develop a sense of what’s truly important not only as a singer but as a musician too highly recommend attending this school.
The teachers that Louie hires (and trusts) are doing their best to gain experience and teach their students.

— I was a student at the Vanier music program
So, I hope what I say is fairly reliable. 🙂

Very good music school. Teachers are friendly. It’s well organized and responsive. My kids loved it here. Highly recommend.

A great music academy. They make sure to tailor the sessions based on your level of experience and every lesson offers lots of invaluable knowledge. They’re super flexible and even offer online classes which I love. The teachers here are professional, love music & are passionate about teaching. They will often go out of their way to watch you grow & succeed. I highly recommend it to whoever is serious about learning music, whether it be an instrument or in production.

I have been a student of the Faculty of Electronic music since 2022 with Atroxx and over the span of these years he has been an amazing mentor!
I feel that abelton has now become a tool of my expression and creativity with his guidance and have also gained confidence with my artist journey.
I highly recommend him for those who are just starting out as well as who are more advanced as he is a “ocean of knowledge”.
Along with this Atroxx is genuine and kind-hearted person who truly wants to see growth in his students.
I truly consider my self lucky to cross paths with him during my artist journey!

My 7 yr-old son Elijah has been taking his guitar and drum lesson at the Cote St-Luc branch for 2 years now and he loves it!! The teachers are great and knowledgeable, the staff are wonderful and friendly, the place is warm and inviting. My son has definitely improved a lot, he will continue going to his lessons. Much thanks to Aliya, Shane and Ethan (plus Ilya) and to all the awesome WIMA teachers!!! Thank you WIMA!! Keep on rockin’!

WIMA by far has some of the best teachers in Montreal. They cater to kids and adults alike. The staff is always very welcoming and the teachers truly know how to create the lesson plan for each individual student. Both my son and I take lessons and we couldn’t be happier! 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking to learn an instrument or brush up on their skills.

Our experience at WIMA has been really fantastic. My kids have had three different teachers, and each one has been really knowledgeable, genuine, flexible and encouraging. My kids love going to WIMA… so much so that one of my daughters has foregone all other extracurricular activities so that she can have two lessons a week, voice and guitar. The administration side has also been great, and Aliya at the front desk is a gem.

We have been die-hard WIMA fans for years. The entire WIMA community of teachers and staff make it their mission to support all students, encourage them and bring out the best in each and every one of them. Their customer service is second to none. They are approachable and flexible.
Simone is a phenomenally gifted teacher. She inspires her students and gets them excited for each lesson. I have seen the incredible growth in my children in terms of their music education and abilities, and it is thanks to this incredible music school.

My son loves WIMA, and his music teacher, Grace. She is very encouraging and instils confidence. The school is very well managed. There’s always a kind voice who answers the phone and at the times that I need to send e-mail messages, I receive a response quickly.
Looking forward to continuing our relationship with the school!

Outstanding drum and voice classes! I have 2 children at WIMA. My son started drum lessons at WIMA at the age of 8. After 3 years, his comfort and skill amaze me! His brother started voice lessons at the age of 6. 2 years later, his vocal range has increased dramatically! I love that WIMA uses current songs which really keep the children interested. They are encouraged to explore different styles of music and to find a piece they enjoy within each genre. The children have a recital at the end of each session. It is actually a joy to attend the recitals. The level of talent (and the skill of the teachers!) Amazes me every time. All the teachers are talented musicians in the their own right. They live and breathe music and it shows 🙂 check out their YouTube channel!

Bonjour, mon enfant adore WIMA ! Il prend des cours de chant avec Madison. Elle est parfaite ! Il l’adore. Il a gagné en confiance. L’équipe est formidable, dynamique et toujours à l’écoute. On a de la chance de les avoir à Cote st Luc. Je recommande cette école de musique +++++

J’ai rencontré Mélany il y a plusieurs années comme prof de chant. Elle a toujours su me mettre à l’aise malgré ma grande timidité. Elle maitrise son art et peut trouver la formule magique (grâce à son expérience et à une technique éprouvée) pour faire sortir des notes qu’on n’imagine même pas être en mesure de produire. C’est une excellente coach qui sait comment nous faire travailler la justesse et la puissance ainsi que nous faire découvrir toutes les facettes du chant. Si vous avez toujours rêvé de chanter, c’est LA meilleure personne pour faire en sorte que vous soyez impressionné de votre progression en peu de temps. Imaginez être accompagné au piano de cette artiste magnifique… c’est une expérience à vivre si vous avez envie d’émotions fortes! L’ambiance chaleureuse qu’elle instaure dès la première seconde vous donnera l’assurance qu’il faut pour avoir l’impression d’être en spectacle dans une salle intime. Elle a aussi pensé au côté pratique de suivre des cours en ligne. Elle est assez bien équipée pour que ce soit efficace. Enfants, ados ou adultes, n’hésitez-plus, rencontrez cette adorable Mélany! Elle a des trucs et surtout beaucoup de patience pour tout le monde 🙂

Je me suis inscrire à des cours de chant hebdomadaires pour le simple plaisir de travailler ma voix, et je ne suis pas déçue!

J’ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à développer ma voix par des exercices variés et à travailler sur des chansons qui me plaisent, accompagnée au piano par Mélany, ma professeure de chant plus que talentueuse!

Je vous recommande fortement Mélany si vous désirez progresser rapidement. J’ai eu la chance de prendre quelques cours avec Mélany. En plus d’être très chaleureuse, elle est d’un professionnalisme exemplaire, En un seul cours elle a su détecter ce qui n allait pas avec une chanson que je tentais d’apprendre qui était particulièrement difficile et tout de suite elle a pu me conseiller et me partager ses petits trucs qui ont fait toute la différence dans mon interprétation. Ma chanson était présentable au public une semaine après le cours. Merci Mélany!

Pas du tout déçu de l’expérience. Mélany est une personne charismatique et professionnelle, Je recommande chaleureusement!

Un endroit parfait une coach parfaite pour nous sortir de notre zone de confort!
Vous ne serez pas déçu !

Les cours de chant avec Mélany m’ont toujours permis de dépasser mes attentes dans le monde du chant. À chaque fois, elle me donne la clé pour améliorer mes capacités vocales. Étant quelqu’un de très pédagogue, Mélany offre un enseignement unique et une bienveillance qui ne peuvent qu’offrir une progression. Des profs de chant comme Mélany Houle, il n’y en a qu’une et on n’est jamais déçu de ses services.

Mélany n’est pas seulement un excellente coach vocale, mais une personne chaleureuse qui a le coeur sur la main. Elle ne fais pas que nous enseigner, elle nous conseille, nous guide, nous écoute, nous épaule….En peu de temps, j’ai vue une grande amélioration, ce qui m’encourage à participer chanter en publique.
Merci Mélany xxx

The instructor is excellent and highly skilled, providing great value to the students. However, the administration tends to enforce rules inconsistently, seemingly based on personal preferences rather than uniform standards.

The Remy Academy complex is really a very good and positive environment, and I think the main reason for this is the kind and professional staff there. Especially, their kind and professional behavior is Marzieh and Monireh , they are very customer-oriented and have a great attitude with children. And special thanks to Aram is my son’s music teacher who is very professional and patient. I really recommend this place to parents of children.

Friendly environment and excellent professional support at all times -highly recommended for all ages. my experience with this music academy was one of the best choices that i have made . I started playing the piano at the age of 35 without having any experience. with the help of my teacher ( Mr. Fakharian), and their wonderful method, I was able to progress well at my level and my teacher’s encouragement and his patience in teaching, had a great effect.

It’s been many years that I know this group and I saw many parents that bring their kids here to learn music , all I saw and heard was good comments because of the best services and responsibilities of people in Remi Academy,

In these Academy your kid learn music by the professional teachers and also has fun and of course you have time to have a deep breath and rest for a second while they are busy there, lol

It’s almost about 4 years that my two children are learning piano in Remi. I’m really happy with the result. They also got their RCM certificate, first class honours. I am really gratefull of Mr. Fakharian. Highly recommended

I have to write my review bilingual since this institution is popular in Iranian community. Farsi message follows:

Last evening, I visited ReMi Academy to purchase a Santour, a classical Iranian musical instrument. Prior to my visit, over the phone, Mr. Alireza Fakharian, the manager of the institution, introduced me the available options, presenting two instruments bearing 2 stamps ($$) and 3 stamps ($$$), respectively. (For those unfamiliar, the number of stamps made by the maker indicates the instrument’s level of professionalism, with 3 stamps denoting a higher level).
Although I initially expressed my preference for the 3 stamp instrument over the phone, upon arriving, Mr. Fakharian informed me that while the Santour indeed had 3 stamps, he couldn’t confirm whether it was originally purchased from its maker, the late Mr. Salari (Apr 1950 – Oct 2020), as a 3 stamp instrument or a 2 stamp one. Given the uncertainty, he insisted on charging me the price for the 2 stamp instrument ($$) rather than the 3 stamp ($$$).
As a musical instrument player myself who spend more than three decades of my life to learn music from different people with different attitude, Mr. Fakharian’s honesty and dedication to preserving the integrity of his business stood out to me. He could have easily presented the 3 stamp instrument as requested and charged the higher price, but his genuine concern for the instrument’s authenticity and his love for music prevailed. It became evident that ReMi Academy was not established solely for financial gain, but rather as a platform to share passion and love through art with the community.
In a world where material wealth often takes precedence, individuals like Mr. Fakharian, with their genuine spirit and mindset, are invaluable. ReMi Academy is more than a place of business; it’s a space where love and passion for music are shared selflessly. I wholeheartedly recommend ReMi Academy to those seeking a transformative experience in their lives through music, whether for themselves or their children.

عصر روز قبل در پی تماس تلفنی با آقای فخاریان عزیز جهت خرید ساز سنتور به
آموزشگاه موسیقی ر- می رفتم. پیش تر درحین مذاکره تلفنی ایشان دو نمونه سنتور سه مهر ($$$) و دو مهر ($$) را به من بعرفی کردند ( برای کسانی که آشنایی کمتری دارند، تعداد مهرها بر روی هر ساز که توسط سازنده ساز حک میشوندمعیاری برای سطح حرفه ای بودن ساز هستند به نحوی که ساز دو مهر به عنوان ساز سطح متوسط و سه مهر سطح عالی شناخته میشوند)
در زمان ملاقات با ایشان و دیدن سازها از نزدیک آقای فخاریان فرمودند مساله ای که پیش آمده این هست که اگر چه سازی که پیش روی من هست و دارای سه مهر قابل رویت هم هست، اما ایشان به خاطر نمی آورند که آیا آن ساز را از سازنده فقید آقای سالاری (1329-1399) به عنوان ساز سه مهر خریداری کرده اند یا نه؟! و به جهت عدم دسترسی به ایشان امکان تایید آن هم وجود ندارد. لذا ایشان تاکید داشتند که علی رغم سه مهر بودن ساز سنتور، من مبلغ ساز دو مهر را بپردازم!!! به عنوان نوازنده ای که بیش از سه دهه از زندگی ام را به آموختن و نوازندگی ساز از افراد مختلف با منش های متفاوت گذرانده ام، باید اذعان دارم که ایشان به راحتی می توانستند بیان دارند که این ساز سه مهر هست و قابل رویت هم هست و مبلغ $$$ دریافت نمایند. اما قلب بزرگ ومنش هنری ایشان چنین اجازه ای نداد! در دنیای امروز به هنرمندان صادقی چون ایشان نیازبسیار هست. ایشان به جهت ثروتمند شدن آموزشگاه ر – می را تاسیس نکرده اند بلکه فضایی برای نثار عشق و دوستی به انسان ها از طریق هنر و موسیقی بنا نهاده اند. جناب فخاریان عزیز بسیار متشکرم از قلب بزرگ و پر از صداقت شما و اکیدا آموزشگاه ر – می را برای کسانی که به دنبال گوشه ای برای فراغت از روزمرگی و ایجاد تغییر در زندگی خود یا فرزندانشان از طریق هنر موسیقی هستند را توصیه میکنم.

Amazing staff, I love their methods for teaching piano. I also took their voice classes which was absolutely perfect. Mr. Fakharian is very patient with students and cares so much about their learning process. Definitely recommend this place.

Excellente école!
Des professeurs de très haut niveau pédagogique et musical. Une organisation et une réactivité sans faute.
Je recommande sans hésiter!
Mes enfants aiment beaucoup les cours
Je ne peux que souhaiter une bonne continuation

**English (français à suivre):**

We had a disappointing and frustrating experience here.

– **Unreliable Facilities:**
– The classes take place in a dance studio.
– One class was canceled an hour before due to noise, and two others were canceled a day before because the studio was rented for a luxury video shoot.
– Of the 8 classes we’ve attended so far, 3 had to be rescheduled due to the unavailability of the facilities.
– We initially accommodated their failure to provide a proper learning space by agreeing to reschedule twice.
– After three reschedulings, we have lost confidence to wait for a make-up class next year and requested a refund for one canceled session. The director denied this, insisting that all payments are final, regardless of their failures.

– **Misrepresentation and Unfair Policies:**
– We paid in advance for fifteen 30-minute classes that’s supposed to span over 3 months, after a trial session on September 14, but on their platform, only 10 classes of 45 minutes each were listed.
– The director insisted classes begin from the start of September, even though our first session was scheduled for September 28.
– Right before the second class, my son felt uneasy continuing. When we requested a refund, it was denied, as cancellations are only allowed immediately after the first class.

**Our Concerns:**
– The environment is unreliable and unsuitable.
– The administration prioritizes collecting money over providing quality education.

**Advice to Others:**
Judge for yourself. Do not take the prepaid plan. We had a terrible experience.

**Français :**

Nous avons vécu une expérience décevante et frustrante ici.

– **Locaux Peu Fiables :**
– Les cours ont lieu dans un studio de danse.
– Un cours a été annulé une heure avant à cause du bruit, et deux autres un jour à l’avance car le studio était loué pour le tournage d’une vidéo de luxe.
– Sur les 8 cours auxquels nous avons assisté, 3 ont dû être reprogrammés en raison de l’indisponibilité des locaux.
– Nous avons d’abord accepté de reprogrammer deux fois pour pallier leur incapacité à fournir un espace adapté.
– Après trois annulations, nous avons perdu la confiance et ne voulons pas attendre un cours de rattrapage l’année prochaine, et avons demandé un remboursement pour une session annulée. Le directeur a refusé, affirmant que tous les paiements étaient définitifs, même si c’est leur faute.

– **Représentation Trompeuse et Politiques Injustes :**
– Nous avons payé en avance pour 15 cours de 30 minutes après une séance d’essai le 14 septembre, mais leur plateforme n’indiquait que 10 cours de 45 minutes.
– Le directeur a insisté pour que les cours commencent dès début septembre, bien que notre premier cours ait été prévu pour le 28 septembre.
– Juste avant le deuxième cours, mon fils ne se sentait pas à l’aise pour continuer. Lorsque nous avons demandé un remboursement, il a été refusé, car les annulations ne sont autorisées qu’après le premier cours.

**Nos Préoccupations :**
– L’environnement est peu fiable et inadapté.
– L’administration privilégie l’encaissement de l’argent au détriment de la qualité de l’éducation.

**Conseil aux Autres :**
À vous de juger. Ne prenez pas le plan prépayé. Nous avons vécu une expérience désagréable..

The Sam Gagnon Academy is great! My 6-year-old loves their program. Teachers are accessible, the learning experience is personalized, and their concerts are so much fun. My child started playing simple tunes after just a few weeks. It’s amazing to see how quickly he is learning piano in a short time. The academy truly provides an opportunity for children to learn and explore music.

Mon fils a commencé le cours et il est très content!

Je peux partager mon avis selon la formule de cours a domicile, (prof Ian Bartczak), j’ai deux filles 6 et 8 ans qui depuis le début des cours sont engagés et ne cessent pas de m’épater avec leur apprentissage. retour d’appel téléphonique toujours vite pour des questions administratives. Je recommande fortement cette école.

The academy has been doing a great job with my daughter. Consistent effort and patience with the children. Made the job. My daughter is able now to play basic compositions. Which is good for her age, good job.

Merci infiniment pour votre patience, votre pédagogie et votre passion

Amazing acoustics that can easily make a painfully piercing, loud piccolo actually sound good for once!

Went here for a friend’s concert and it was a good experience. Watch out for the step at the front door though it is easy to miss and I tripped and almost fell. Especially if you have a non-Quebec health card could be a pricey hospital visit.

The architecture of this building is impressive. McGill’s music program is legendary.

Unfortunately, we had a bad expirience at these shool with assigned piano teacher Perri Lo. Really don’t understand why these kind of people become teachers: luck of patience, unprofessionalism, dislike for children. Very dissapointed!

it is a great school. It offers the best education.

nice building

Wow
