Dorothy Pearce. although for three years he managed to hide his inability to read music. ' - ' . . - 'e, " k" = " .0 ' "NSI Billy, Egll' M! " h Iii' ' ‘ V ' - - . " " . ' - MlRa"a'8eim ~ 2 ., % , r.

I played that way for three years before my mother caught me," said Jeremy.. ‘ _ But the days of Jeremy playing without technical know- how are gone. He completed grade ten in violin before taking lessons from Gerard Kantarjian in Toronto. Since then. he has won competitions at countless music festivals and was recently considered too goof for the 48th annual Stratford Kiwanis Music Festival. Jeremy, a master of many instruments including piano and trumpet, played as concert master in the K-W Sym- phony's Youth Orchestra for two years before leaving his position as first violin to play trumpet. He has irlayed in the k-W Symphony Orchestra for about three seasons. . “I play music because I enjoy it. I feel I enjoy it more the better I am at it. The whole thing right now is to get as good as possible. This will leave me open for futurepossibilities." said Jeremy. t And Jeremy knows where he is Bring. He believes the most important part of being a musician is knowing where it is leading you. After Jeremy finishes his high school education at Bluevale Collegiate next year, he will go to study under Joseph Gingold at Indiana University. There he will be able to extend his musical endeavours to their maximum poten- tial. [ "Even when I was just starting, I knew I wanted to be good. I just didn't want to practise, but now I know it is the only way to become accomplished," said Jeremy. David Constant agrees with his brother that talent is not a mystical gift. but the result of a combination of selfmnii- dence. creativity and curiosity determined by environment. “If music and playing are an assumed part of your envir- onment, you will be sensitive to it. Self-confidence and cur- iosity will allow for creativity.” said David. _ --- David played piano before starting on clarinet in 1967. He also has won many awards and presently studies under Vic- tor Sawa of the Stratford Ensemble. He is a first year Engi- neering student at the University of Waterloo. Both' David and Jeremy were raised in an environment conducivetym1sic. It was part of their life. The children in iiiiii'ji'iiltltiii'iii'i 32?; C . I's s'su,i ti: [ ism at 'F b-, F . .

The brothers have won awards at music festivals throughout Ontario. their home often practised separate instruments within . Both Jeremy and David know what'it takes to be a, good hearing distance of each other. musician. They can sense classical training in the midst of “If I didn't have music everyday I, just don't know what raunchy rock and they can judge a person‘s worth as a mu- would happen.

I can't picture not having an instrument," said David. --e A David did not specialize in music at the end of his high school years because he didn't feel he was good enough at the time. He feels that if someone is going to be a musician, they must first admit it to themselves and be prepared for a demanding life. He believes complete self-confidence and total resignation to music are essential. "When I started university, I felt I wasn't a good enough musician to specialize. I was playing both piano and cla.rinet and had to choose between them. I chose clarinet and now must complete engineering and then decide what I am going to do, " he said. , David is not a quitter. When he starts something. he has to finish it. Now that he's into engineering. he will finish it before taking a serious look at his music capabilities. ef \"ytcs,s,., =1 Westmount T" Sewing Centre ,1 m SS THIS / gr' A, 1t.U.0te PA, THESEFEATURES q HOME on m STORE SERVICE mosf‘mxss» o msmucnon mm mm meant! sow mom OUR sum: 0 name smcnou ACCESSORIES a.
