"Conway Institute of Music believes in giving back to the community! The Boys & Girls Club of Faulkner County is one of the many local non-profit organizations that are near and dear to us! Though conducting benefit concerts, in which students perform on stage, and school donation programs, the Conway Institute of Music instills philanthropy and a sense of community with its students". - Jim Skelton Pictured: Clint Brock – Chief Professional Officer - Boys & Girls Club of Faulkner County, Liza Bray – Director of Development - Boys & Girls Club of Faulkner County, Jim Skelton – CIM Executive Director Celebrating Student Achievement The Musical Ladder System® The Conway Institute of Music is the only music school in the Arkansas that gives their students the opportunity to earn special color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies AND certificates for passing musical tests with the Musical Ladder System®. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces by giving them full color, really cool “Musical Ladder System®” wristbands that they can show off to their friends. More importantly when our students have a test coming up, they practice more, their parents are proud, their teachers are proud, and everybody wins!
