APRIL 12, 2022 — A new Steinway piano is making all the difference for the UTSA Department of Music.
The UTSA College of Liberal and Fine Arts (COLFA) received the piano as a generous donation from James and DeAnna Bodenstedt to enhance learning and training for students.
The instrument was purchased by the Bodenstedts a few years ago and is in pristine condition. Now part of the Department of Music, it is highly valued by the department’s students as they are able to experience concert level sounds while perfecting their musical skills.
Kasandra Keeling, professor of music and coordinator of keyboard studies, is especially happy to have this Steinway piano for her students.
“Artist-level performance can only be achieved if students are working on artist-level instruments. The donation of this Steinway will have great impact not only for current students, but also for those in the coming decades,” she said.
