Three local musicians were recently recognized for their talent as composers in the Music for Young Children's Annual Composition Festival.

Morgan Fichter, and Jaiden Peeace were named Finalists in the Sunbeam Three Category for Western Canada, while Kourtney Kobitz finished first in both Western Canada and Internationally for her composition 'Skating'.

 

Approximately 13,000 students from across Canada, the U.S., New Zealand, South Korea and Singapore took part in the Festival this year.

 

According to teacher Anita Kuntz, the compositions must be eight measures long, have a title, and contain dynamics and a tempo marking.
