5 Best Schools for Guitar Lessons in Toronto (2026)

Search for schools for guitar lessons in Toronto and Google doesn't only send back guitar teachers. Two of the five names below, together holding 209 reviews between them, turned out on inspection to be a piano-and-violin studio and a piano-only matching service with no guitar mentioned anywhere in their own sites. Ratings across all five sit between 4.9 and a perfect 5.0, so the star count alone won't tell you who actually teaches the instrument you're after.

Short answer: Mar Music School confirms guitar instruction directly in its reviews, and Canada Music Academy lists Guitar & Bass Lessons on its own site. Singer's Edge offers guitar at its Midtown location too. Two other names here, Piano Teachers Connect and Stelth Ng, show no evidence of guitar teaching in their own sites or reviews, worth knowing before you call.

Where guitar lessons are actually confirmed

Singer's Edge

4.9203 Google reviews

Singer's Edge is a Toronto voice academy best known for singing, but its Midtown location specifically offers guitar lessons alongside voice, piano, and drums, according to its own site. The downtown studio is voice-only; the guitar program runs out of the second Midtown location. Reviews on this profile focus heavily on vocal coaching, so ask specifically for a guitar teacher when booking.

What people praise

  • Guitar explicitly listed as a lesson offering at the Midtown location
  • Award-winning academy with a real performance venue (El Mocambo) for students
  • Free weekly group classes included
  • Flexible rescheduling policy noted by reviewers

Worth knowing

  • Most detailed reviews on this profile describe voice lessons specifically, not guitar, so ask to see guitar-teacher reviews or bios directly before booking

Our take: It's the highest-rated name here with confirmed guitar instruction, 4.9 across 203 reviews, but the guitar side of the business has a thinner public track record than its voice program.

Mar Music School

5.0139 Google reviews

Mar Music School teaches guitar directly alongside piano, drums, singing, and DJing from its Midtown Toronto studio, and unlike some names on this list, guitar instruction is confirmed in the reviews themselves, not just a service list. One parent describes a son taking both guitar and drums, taught through the rock music he already listens to, which the review credits for keeping him engaged.

What people praise

  • Guitar lessons confirmed directly by parent reviews, not just a service list
  • Teacher Diego adapts lessons to a student's existing music taste (rock, pop)
  • Structured path from private lessons to full band programs
  • Studio recording sessions offered as a milestone

Piano Teachers Connect

5.0114 Google reviews

Piano Teachers Connect is a Toronto piano-teacher matching service, and based on its own site and every review on the profile, its focus is piano exclusively, classical, jazz, pop, and every level, with no mention of guitar teaching anywhere in the available data. It surfaced in this search pool, but there's no evidence it actually offers guitar lessons.

What people praise

  • Published, flat hourly rate ($65) for piano lessons specifically
  • Named piano teachers get detailed, specific praise
  • Online lessons available for students outside Toronto

Worth knowing

  • No evidence in its own site or any review that it offers guitar instruction; confirm directly before assuming it fits a guitar search

Our take: A perfect 5.0 across 114 reviews for piano teaching, but we can't confirm it teaches guitar at all based on what's actually published. Worth a direct call if guitar is what you need.

Canada Music Academy

4.9117 Google reviews

Canada Music Academy lists Guitar & Bass Lessons explicitly among its offerings, delivered in-home, in-studio, or online by certified teachers, with pricing starting at $50 an hour. The business operates in multiple Canadian cities, and reviews describe browsing teacher bios by instrument and availability before choosing, though the specific reviews visible on this profile focus on piano and keyboard lessons rather than guitar.

What people praise

  • Guitar & Bass Lessons explicitly listed as a category on the business's own site
  • Pricing starts at $50/hour, published upfront
  • In-home lessons available across the Greater Toronto Area
  • Certified teacher model with browsable bios

Worth knowing

  • The reviews visible on this profile describe piano and keyboard students specifically, not guitar, so ask to see a guitar teacher's bio directly

Our take: Guitar is confirmed on the service menu even though the loudest reviews here are about piano. A reasonable pick if the in-home format matters more to you than a large public guitar-specific track record.

Stelth Ng: Piano & Violin Teacher | Private Downtown Toronto Studio

5.095 Google reviews

Stelth Ng runs a private downtown Toronto studio teaching piano and violin, as stated directly in the business's own name and site. Every review on this profile describes piano or violin lessons specifically, with named teachers Stelth and Meredith, and there's no mention of guitar instruction anywhere in the available data.

What people praise

  • Consistently glowing, detailed reviews for piano and violin instruction
  • Two named teachers (Stelth, Meredith) working as a team
  • Adapts to very young beginners through advanced players, per reviews

Worth knowing

  • No evidence this business teaches guitar; its own name and every review point to piano and violin specifically

Our take: A perfect 5.0 across 95 reviews, genuinely excellent, but for piano and violin, not guitar. It surfaced in this search pool without any guitar evidence we could find, so we're flagging that directly rather than guessing.

How we scored these results

Rating is each business’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many students or parents actually left a rating, since one glowing review means less than a hundred consistent ones. Confidence weighs the two together, and recency checks how many reviews are recent rather than years old. None of this tells you what instrument a business actually teaches, which is why we checked each one’s own site and reviews for guitar specifically rather than assuming. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do guitar lessons cost in Toronto?

Only one business on this page publishes a guitar-specific rate. The others quote based on instructor and format, so ask for a guitar-specific price before assuming a general rate applies.

JobTypical price
Canada Music Academy, Guitar & Bass lessonsFrom $50/hour

Price as published on Canada Music Academy’s own site, July 2026. Guitar lesson rates at Singer’s Edge and Mar Music School are quote-based and vary by instructor.

Guitar teachers across Toronto

The confirmed guitar options cluster around Isabella Street and Soudan Avenue in Midtown, with Canada Music Academy also covering in-home lessons across the wider Greater Toronto Area. Whether you’re searching for guitar lessons near me in North York, Scarborough, or Etobicoke, the in-home and online options mean you’re not limited to whichever studio is closest.

What to ask before you book

  • Do you specifically teach guitar, and can I see a guitar teacher’s bio or reviews?
  • What’s the hourly rate for guitar lessons specifically?
  • Is this a fixed studio, or a teacher-matching service?
  • Are guitar lessons available online, or only in person?
  • What guitar styles or levels does the teacher specialize in?
  • Can I try a single lesson before committing to a package?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data, ratings and review volume anyone can check. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

Do all five of these actually teach guitar?

Not confirmed for all five. Mar Music School, Canada Music Academy, and Singer’s Edge all have direct evidence of guitar instruction. Piano Teachers Connect and Stelth Ng show no guitar evidence in their own sites or reviews; they appear to specialize in piano and, for Stelth Ng, violin.

How did you choose these five businesses?

We searched Google for guitar lessons in Toronto and compared what actually surfaced on live rating, review volume, and how recently people reviewed, then checked each business’s own site and reviews for guitar-specific evidence rather than assuming.

How often is this page updated?

We refreshed the data behind this page in July 2026. Ratings and review counts shift over time, so treat the numbers as a snapshot from that check.

The bottom line

Mar Music School has the clearest, directly confirmed guitar program on this page. Whichever business you call, ask to see a guitar teacher’s bio or reviews specifically before booking; a strong piano or voice reputation doesn’t automatically mean strong guitar instruction.
