Welcome to the UMKC Keyboard Area

UMKC’s esteemed Keyboard Area is committed to nurturing each student and helping them grow artistically through a supportive and encouraging environment. The piano performance program of study reflects our belief that career success as a pianist means developing abilities as a soloist, collaborator, and teacher. Living in Kansas City affords us with incredible opportunities to hear and interact with the world’s leading artists and provides excellent performance opportunities for our pianists. If your passion is music, I encourage you to browse the pages of this website and learn more about our Keyboard Area, and I invite you all to visit UMKC to experience all that our wonderful Conservatory has to offer.
