We give our teachers full health benefits

As of April 2023, Piano Power is thrilled to offer our teachers full health benefits.  This has been a dream of ours for a while, and many of our current teachers have told us how much it would mean to them.  It’s an honor to be able to make it a reality.

As our core values state, happy teachers make happy students.  Giving health coverage to our teachers proves that Piano Power puts teachers first.  It leads to long-term, committed student/teacher relationships for our families, and it will make Piano Power an elite workplace for years to come.

If you want to get into the weeds, read on!  Any teacher who maintains at least a four-day weekly teaching schedule, and a 90% attendance rate, qualifies for coverage.  Our coverage is through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, the state’s largest provider of health benefits, and it comes with options for vision, dental, and even the addition of other family members.  While businesses generally cover between 25% and 50% of their staff’s healthcare premiums, Piano Power covers 75% of each month’s monthly premium.  The entire premium (both our 75% share and our teachers’ 25% share) is tax-deductible.

Does this sound like a workplace you’d like to be a part of?  Head to the Teach With Us page and introduce yourself!  We’ll show you why we’re the most teacher-friendly music studio in the Chicago area.
