Special Friends of the National Conference on Keyboard Pedagogy The National Conference on Keyboard Pedagogy (NCKP) is dedicated to enriching the lives of all students through music education at the piano, and to helping every piano teacher grow in skill and dedication to the profession. Registration fees are not sufficient to cover the essential expenses of presenting a first-rate conference, and annual giving is one of the ways everyone can help. The Special Friends of NCKP are a group of dedicated supporters who have made an annual gift to underwrite the conference. For more information about an annual gift of any size to NCKP, contact info@FrancesClarkCenter.org, or make a gift online at https://www.francesclarkcenter.org/donate.
