The UMKC Conservatory had the use of new first-class pianos and digital pianos on a no-cost basis for the 2024-2025 school year. This ongoing arrangement is provided through a partnership with the Rockley Family Foundation, a non profit organization dedicated to supporting music education. These instruments, and instruments made otherwise available, will be sold at a discount from new retail pricing to perpetuate this valuable program and provide scholarship money for music students.
