FAQs

Frequently asked questions about CadenzaHub.

What is CadenzaHub?

CadenzaHub is a marketplace for music lessons in the GTA and Hamilton. Students of every age, from young kids to teens and adults, find reviewed teachers, book and pay in one place, and get a written lesson note after every session. Teachers get students, scheduling and payments without running the admin themselves.

Where does CadenzaHub operate?

Across the GTA and Hamilton: the City of Toronto, Peel, York, Durham and Halton regions, and Hamilton. Some teachers also offer online lessons.

What kinds of lessons can I book?

Private lessons for piano, guitar, voice, violin, drums, cello, saxophone, flute and ukulele, with more instruments as teachers join. Lessons are for kids, teens and adults, from first-time beginners to advanced players, and happen in your home, at the teacher's studio, or online, depending on what each teacher offers.

How do I choose the right teacher?

Read two or three profiles: the bio, credentials, rates, usual hours and reviews. Message the teachers who stand out, or book a trial lesson where it is offered. A good first conversation about goals tells you a lot.

What is a trial lesson?

A trial is a first lesson to meet a teacher and see if they are the right fit before you commit to regular lessons. Many teachers offer one, often 30 minutes and free or at a reduced price. Look for the Trial available ribbon in search results and the trial row in a teacher's lessons and rates. You can book one trial per student with each teacher.

What does it cost?

You pay the teacher's rate plus a 5% booking fee, shown before you pay. There are no membership or sign-up fees. Any sales tax that applies to the booking fee is shown at checkout.

When am I charged, and where does the money go?

You pay when you book. We hold the payment and release it to your teacher one lesson at a time, after each lesson happens. If a lesson does not happen, its share is not paid out.

How do the cancellation policies work?

Every policy is a full refund of the lesson price or no refund, depending on when you cancel. When you cancel, the 5% booking fee is not refunded. Flexible: full refund if you cancel before the lesson starts. Moderate: full refund if you cancel by 12:00 pm the day before the lesson. Strict: full refund if you cancel by 12:00 pm one week before the lesson. Cut-off times use the teacher's time zone, which is Toronto time for every CadenzaHub teacher. Refunds are calculated and issued automatically.

What is a lesson note?

Within 24 hours of every lesson, your teacher writes up what you covered, what to practise this week, how things are going, and anything they want you to know. Notes arrive in your dashboard and by email.

Can I trust the reviews?

Only students and families who completed a package with a teacher can review them, so every review comes from a real booking and shows a Verified booking badge.
