Jean McCulloch Junior Competition

JEAN McCULLOCH MEMORIAL JUNIOR PIANO COMPETITION
Grade 3-4 $200 • Grade 5-6 $250 • Grade 7-8 $300

COMPETITION HAS BEEN CANCELLED
Thank you to students, parents, teachers, and sponsors for ongoing support.

On behalf of the executive of the SRMTA, it is with great regret that we announce the cancellation of the 2020 Jean McCulloch Junior Piano Competition in North Battleford. This unprecedented decision by the SRMTA Executive, in conjunction with the organizing committee in North Battleford, has been a difficult one. We know many of you have been preparing your students for this competition all year and that there have been so many cancellations for you and your students. However, the safety and health of our students, teachers, parents and adjudicators is of the utmost importance to us.

Thank you to the North Battleford committee for all your hard work in planning this competition. As well, thank you to our members for your support of this competition and we very much look forward to resuming this wonderful opportunity for your students in 2021.

Karen Frandsen
Convener for the Jean McCulloch Junior Piano Competition.

The Jean McCulloch Memorial Junior Piano Competition is made possible through the generous donation of Regina piano teacher Jean McCulloch. This competition recognizes the hard work and talent of Saskatchewan piano students working in grades three through eight. It will hopefully be a stepping-stone for students into the SRMTA senior level competitions. The Competition is held in a different location in the province each year.

Should the number of entries require it, competition may begin Friday. In the event that there are not enough entries, the competition will be cancelled, and the adjudicator and competitors will be notified by April 3. The programme will be posted on the SRMTA website (www.srmta.com) after May 1.

Thank you to Long & McQuade for their sponsorship of the Grade 7/8 award.
