A new day is on the horizon for Christ the King Catholic School, grades VPK-8.

The music department received the donation of a Steinway B Grand Piano, which pianists often consider “the perfect piano”. This gift was worth $80,000 and was made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Nancy Early, who studied with the famous piano pedagogue, David Carr Glover.

Her donation significantly contributes to the success of students seeking a strong foundation in music that is based on the piano.

The arrival of this piano, named “Winnie”, after Mrs. Early’s late mother, a colleague of David Carr Glover, also marks the beginning of a “Music Classroom Series” at the school.
