Morin Music Studio Ltd

Both of my sons have been taking piano lessons from Dan Morin for over seven years, and I can confidently say he is an exceptional teacher who cares deeply about his students’ growth and well-being. What sets Dan apart is his ability to truly understand each student as an individual. He’s a keen observer who recognizes that every child learns differently. He thoughtfully adapts his teaching style to suit each student's needs and often finds creative ways to connect their outside interests to piano, making learning more engaging and meaningful. Dan’s patience and support create a positive and encouraging environment. He knows how to build confidence and gently motivate his students to push themselves and grow. His years of experience are evident—he has a remarkable ability to assess what a student is capable of achieving. More than once, he has introduced music I thought was too difficult, only for my children to master it by year’s end and perform it confidently during recitals or competitions. Dan also brings humor and warmth into his lessons, which makes learning enjoyable. Both of my kids genuinely look forward to their time with him. He doesn’t pressure them, but instead sets clear expectations, and they consistently rise to meet them. Perhaps most importantly, he instills a deep and lasting love for music in all of his students. I wholeheartedly recommend Dan Morin to anyone looking for a dedicated, skilled, and inspiring piano teacher.

This marks the third year since my daughter began piano lessons with Mr. Dan after we moved to the city. Mr. Dan is not just an exceptional piano teacher—he is a mentor who imparts life lessons with wisdom, shaping the children’s futures in ways far beyond music. Over the past two years, my daughter has made tremendous progress, even winning first place at the provincials! None of this would have been possible without Mr. Dan and the Morin Studio. A special thanks also to Carmen and Robyn for creating such magic in the world of music!

Morin Music Studio offer great and wide range of music lessons from group classes to private lesson. Both of my children started their music journey with an early childhood program at the age of 2. After the exposure of rhythm and melody, they moved to formal lesson with a private teacher. The studio hosts 2 recitals at the Scarboro United Church every school year which offer students a moment to reflect on their growth, see the result of their hard work, and help prepare their exams or competitions. I have nothing but good things to say about Morin Music Studio. 🙂

It is genuinely difficult to put into words the exceptional level of professionalism and talent that Ms. Morin brings to the industry. Her instructors are outstanding, and the education she provides is truly transformative. Both my child and my nieces attend this studio exclusively, and I cannot imagine a better place for their artistic development.

We had two kids enrolled with Morin for about eight months. We were not impressed by the level of instruction received, and our kids (two girls) did not enjoy working with the young man they sent our way. They found him hard to understand, and weren't comfortable. When we notified Morin that we were cancelling, they informed us that they would continue billing us for two additional months (nearly $1000) and plus an additional $100 admin fee. We have reviewed every email record we have, and there is no mention of this policy. We have reached out several times for explanation, and to set up a call to discuss - all such queries have gone unanswered. We're extremely frustrated, and the money keeps coming out of our account. Beware. What follows is a response to Carmen's Response: We regret that we needed to raise our concerns publicly to finally get Carmen's attention. The response we received to the initial google review should serves as a microcosm of the "customer service" you can expect from this company. For context, this is my first ever google review – I’m not some sort of internet troll that has a history of airing my grievances publicly but do so as a last resort after being endless frustrated at attempting to get someone on the phone to hear our side of the story. We attempted several times by phone and email to engage in private dialogue and never received more than a sentence or two email in response, in which an admin staff member (different each time) simply restated the cancellation policy that we were unaware of. We have scoured all the documents that we have and cannot find any mention of two-month cancellation policy. It may be that it's buried somewhere in the fine print, but if it is, we cannot find it. There were multiple reasons our family felt that continuing with lessons was not going to be viable. Beyond the reasons mentioned earlier, one of the main reasons is related to a personal situation that has arisen in our family, that we do not wish to air on a public forum. We did not feel the need to plead our case or justify anything to Morin when we cancelled our lessons, and we were, as mentioned, totally unaware of the cancellation policy, and in any case, it is none of their business. Finally, we find it completely unprofessional and insulting that we should be accused of being "reactive" and it is completely unacceptable that you would name our eight- and six-year-old daughters in your response. Those names should be removed immediately. Final Edit: Following this review we did manage to speak with Carmen. She was untimely unwavering in her policy to charge us for 8 weeks, plus an additional $100 admin fee. I don’t know to whom this saga may be relevant, but be advised.

After one year studying Piano at Morin Music, I have nothing bit good things to say. The front end staff and teachers are all wonderful in their own way. Mike and Agata, my summer session teachers are very well qualified to teach piano, and very good at their job. Timea, my regular instructor, is especially well suited to train children and older adults. The studio pianos that I have played are all high end instruments with great tone. The west end location is very convenient.

Morin studio is a great place to learn music. My kid has taken piano lessons at the studio for several years. The instructor is patient, knowledgeable, experienced and passionate. The instructors and staffs deeply care about their students. We see tremendous growth in our kid’s music learning journeys! We have a wonderful experience with this studio. Highly recommended!
