4 Greetings from the President Dear Parents, Teachers, Students and Friends: Welcome to our 26 th Annual United States Open Music Competition. We are happy to see you here. Each year we continue to expand! This year more than 1,500 contestants have come from around the world to participate at the USOMC; with a total of 2620 entries in 171 events. What a joy it is to see all the smiling faces and to hear so many terrifically talented performances. Thank you for coming! To celebrate our 26 th anniversary, we are happy to continue with the two additional special prizes for our 2018 annual competitions. (1) There will be extra monetary awards of $6000 from the Samuel Tak Lee Scholarship Foundation given in memory of Dr. Billy Loo Sr. at the six Prize Winners Concerts. (2) There will also be a Master Class on Sunday Feb. 25 th from 2:00 5:00 PM presented by Dr. Sharon Mann at her Concert Studio in Berkeley, California. Five winners and alternate winners will be chosen from different events who are Winners of the 2018 USOMC Music Competitions, between the ages of They will also receive additional monetary awards. 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 crossed the finish line first. There is no such finish line here. In a music competition, musicality, artistry, technique, accuracy, poise, 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 three main essentials: (1) hours of practice each day, (2) learning 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 relaxed venue to perform at, with the very best pianos available and in the very best condition. We hire only the very best judges we can find, and we write guidelines to assist them in their decision-making. As usual, we will announce the winners immediately after each of the 171 events. Unlike other competitions which strive to find one winner among many contestants, we prefer to have smaller groups of contestants and award prizes to the best in each group. In this way, we are hoping to offer awards to numerous outstanding 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, to receive invaluable comments from esteemed judges and to meet and listen to 1500 contestants perform are terrific learning opportunities and that should inspire the students to work harder medals and ribbons are of secondary importance in reality. Board members, staff and volunteers work hard all year to host this event. They donate their time and energy 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 any one of the dedicated board members. We like feedback and are continuously trying to improve the competitions. We sincerely hope all the contestants will be encouraged to continue working hard and to come back and perform again next year. Sincerely, Lamae Loo President United States Open Music Competition 4
