HUMBOLDT 鈥� Young pianists from across the province filled Westminster United Church with sound during the Jean McCulloch Memorial Junior Piano Competition.
The recital for players Grades 3 through 8 was put on by the Saskatchewan Registered Music Teachers鈥� Association (SRMTA) and was 鈥渕ade possible through the generous donation of Regina piano teacher Jean McCulloch,鈥� said Christy Waldner, president of SRMTA鈥檚 east central branch.
The May 25 competition was 鈥渁 lot of work鈥� for the 12 youth musicians, she said, 鈥渂ecause it鈥檚 an entire concert program.鈥�
鈥淵ou can often practice one piece really well, but this is like five and six, or sometimes up to seven pieces,鈥� Waldner said. 鈥淭o get all of that presentable at one time takes a lot of work and a lot of dedication.鈥�
Competition has alternated between different Saskatchewan towns annually. The competition was last held in Humboldt in 2007.
