4 Greetings from the President Dear Parents, Teachers, Students and Friends: Welcome to our 24 th Annual United States Open Music Competition. We are happy to see you again (or meet you for the first time) in the New Year of The USOMC continues to expand we have 2462 entries from different parts of the world to participate in 153 events (in total). What a joy it is to see all the smiling faces and to hear so many superbly talented performances. Thank you for coming! Performing in a music competition can be a real challenge. It is not the same as running in the Olympics, where we can all see who first crosses the finish line. There is no such finish line here. In a music competition, musicality, technique, accuracy, poise and remaining faithful to the intent of the composer these are some of the key elements which contribute to a great performance. Just to get to this level of performance requires at least three critical essentials: (1) hours of practice with persistence, (2) able to keep performance anxiety to a minimum, and (3) being in good health. Combine these factors with the fact that judges may vary in their opinions of how a particular piece ought to sound, and you begin to see the difficulties which can occur in choosing a winner. We do our best to help minimize such difficulties in several ways. We provide a relatively comfortable venue to perform at, with the very best pianos available and in the very best condition. We continue to hire the very best judges we can find, and we write guidelines to assist them in their decision-making. Unlike other competitions which strive to find one winner among many contestants, we prefer to have smaller groups of contestants and award prizes in each group. In this way, we are hoping to offer awards to numerous fine performers and to give many of the contestants extra encouragement and inspiration to continue their pursuit of musical excellence. We know how highly important music education is to the growth and development of our younger generation. Every student is a winner just for being here. Taking the challenge of participating in a competition before the public and adjudicators is an achievement in itself be sure to applaud them and give them the encouragement they deserve. Medals and ribbons are of secondary importance, and we are sorry that not everyone will win a medal. There are other benefits to being here competing too, such as reading the comments from respected judges, meeting and listening to other performers from around the world what music they play and how they play it. These are terrific learning opportunities. Board members and the staff work hard year after year to host these events. All board members donate their time. We do it out of love of music and the desire to provide good experiences for the contestants, families, teachers, and friends who attend. If you are able, we welcome you to join us in our endeavors. If you have ideas or opinions about how we can improve USOMC, please let me know directly, or speak with one of our dedicated board members. We are constantly looking for feedback and new ideas to make the competitions even better for the future. Medal or not, we hope all the contestants will be encouraged to continue working hard and to come back and perform again next year. With all best wishes, Lamae Loo President United States Open Music Competition 4
