About Piano Power
Piano Power has been inspiring the lifelong love of music in families in Chicago and the northern suburbs since 2007.
What happens when you schedule a call with Piano Power?
We ask questions about your student.
What’s your student’s learning style? Favorite music? Qualities they respond to in a teacher?
We want to know! This info is crucial for step two.
We find the perfect teacher match.
Did we mention we love our teachers? We do! They’re spectacular, and we’re certain one of them will be a perfect match for your unique student.
After the first lesson, we check in.
How’d the lesson go? Are there questions or concerns? We’ll do everything we can to make sure you and your student are thrilled moving forward.
The music plays!
We believe that when teacher and student are in-sync, magical things happen. Sit back and enjoy as your student develops a lifelong love of music.
We stay connected.
Throughout the duration of your lessons, our Studio Director Andrew is always just a call or email away. Plus our ace admin team is accessible and efficient, making scheduling changes quick and easy.
What makes Piano Power stand out from other music schools?
1. We value our teachers.
We are not a teacher farm! We’re very selective about who teaches for us, and we believe that happy teachers make happy students. That’s why we do our best to create a positive, rewarding work environment for our teachers.
We’ve been around since 2007, which means we’ve had more than fifteen years’ experience meeting and talking with potential music teachers. We’ve learned which qualities make a music teacher great, and we’re proud of each and every one we’ve chosen.

2. We come to you.
Typically our lessons are in-person, in the comfort of home. Which means no extra driving time, no bored siblings, no stress.
If you sign up for online lessons but plan to eventually move to in-person, we’ll accommodate you. We harmonize with your life!
3. We understand your student.
Our Studio Director Andrew talks in-depth with every single student or parent about likes and dislikes, goals, learning styles, and more. We want to understand our students so that, at every lesson, they know their teacher “gets” them.
4. We have awesome recitals!
Goals are important for student success. That’s why we have two recitals every year, and multiple video contests to keep students engaged.
5. We have the best admin team in town.
Need to change your schedule or cancel a lesson? We pride ourselves on being accessible to our families and offering friendly, thorough feedback.
