We are deeply grateful to our donors, educators, and partners who continue to invest in our mission of advancing piano education. Your belief in The Frances Clark Center sustains our programs, inspires teachers and learners, and strengthens the profession for generations to come.

This year was one of growth, innovation, and shared achievement. We established The Frances Clark Center Endowment Fund and launched the Piano Inspires Legacy Circle, celebrated Marvin Blickenstaff’s 90th birthday at Carnegie Hall, introduced the Community Impact Grants Initiative, and hosted the inaugural Innovation Summit at The Piano Conference: NCKP 2025.

Each of these achievements reflects our shared belief in the power of music to inspire and enrich lives. Through this work, we continue to build community, foster creativity, and open doors to meaningful learning experiences.
