Greetings from the President Dear Parents, Teachers, Students and Friends: Welcome to our 26th 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 26th 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. 25th 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 14 – 16. 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

in memory of Dr. Billy Loo Sr. to perpetually support the operation of USOMC. We are awed by this

gesture of love.

Master Class with Dr. Sharon Mann

Berkeley, CA on Sunday Feb 25, 2 – 5PM

To commemorate the 26th Anniversary of the United States Open Music Competition, the

Sharon Mann.

Five (5) qualified winners will be chosen by our 2018 Adjudicators from among the

the Master Class and each will receive a scholarship of $100.00 with a certificate of

recognition. The winners will be notified on Wednesday, Feb. 21st, 2018 at 9 pm.

In addition, two to five (2-5) alternate winners will also be selected for the Master Class.

An alternate may be invited to perform if a winner is unable to attend. In that case, the

alternate will receive a scholarship of $100.00 with a certificate of recognition as a

winner. If all five winners are able to perform, the alternate winners will each receive a

cash award of $50 and a certificate of recognition just for attending as audiences. The

alternate winners will also be notified on Wednesday, Feb. 21st, 2018 at 9 pm. Each will

be told which piece to use for the Master Class, if a winner (or winners) is unable to

perform

If chosen, USOMC requires return emails from the parents of the winners and the alternate

winners, confirming that their sons/daughters will be able to attend and ready to perform the

designated pieces. If USOMC does not receive a return email by 10 AM on Thursday, Feb.

22nd, that winner’s place will be automatically cancelled for attending the Master Class.

To commemorate the 26th Anniversary of the United States Open Music Competition, the

Sharon Mann.

Five (5) qualified winners will be chosen by our 2018 Adjudicators from among the

the Master Class and each will receive a scholarship of $100.00 with a certificate of

recognition. The winners will be notified on Wednesday, Feb. 21st, 2018 at 9 pm.

In addition, two to five (2-5) alternate winners will also be selected for the Master Class.

An alternate may be invited to perform if a winner is unable to attend. In that case, the

alternate will receive a scholarship of $100.00 with a certificate of recognition as a

winner. If all five winners are able to perform, the alternate winners will each receive a

cash award of $50 and a certificate of recognition just for attending as audiences. The

alternate winners will also be notified on Wednesday, Feb. 21st, 2018 at 9 pm. Each will

be told which piece to use for the Master Class, if a winner (or winners) is unable to

perform

If chosen, USOMC requires return emails from the parents of the winners and the alternate

winners, confirming that their sons/daughters will be able to attend and ready to perform the

designated pieces. If USOMC does not receive a return email by 10 AM on Thursday, Feb.

22nd, that winner’s place will be automatically cancelled for attending the Master Class.
