NINETEEN Owen Sound Paper Describes Muical Life Of Bob Hall, Formerly Of Lucknow The following story, in part, was copied from the Owen Sound Sun -Times and concerns a former ,Lucknow resident, Bob Hall, son of Mr, and Mrs. Elwin Hall. • • •, .Probably the busiest contestant in the Owen Sound music festival is 18 -year-old. Robert Hall of Owen Sound,. Robert is appearing in 17 festiv - al events including brass, piano and vocal competitions. In addi- tion to his own classes he is piano accompanist for four other contestants. Robertstarted taking piano les- sons at the age of six. Euphon- ium , he picked upfrom his fath- er Elwin Hall. Robert also studies . trombone at Owen Sound collegiate and voca- tional institute, where he is a student. Two years agog he started tak- ing :voice lessons . ' He also stud- ' ies counterpoint by mail... With all these outlets to choose from, small wonder Robert is not sure what line of musical endeav- or he wants to enter profession- ally. "It's a little too early to tell," he .explained. "If. I perform on the 'piano it will be as a profes- rfortnarxe to keep you ahead. to bcick you up. 7, 8,12 and 14 h.p. models giveyou all the power you need to Stay ahead of lawn and garden :work.

"In sortie pieces .the aocompan- ist provides a backdrop for, the singer. In others the singer and "accompanist form more of a duet. The accompanist has to be able to tell the difference. • "It's really quite an art. In some festivals they have a class just for accompanists. I would like to see that in Owen' Sound." While some amateur' music- ians usic-ians don't like to appear in public, Robert thrives on competition. He believes musicians have to express themselves to others. "If you spend rill your time alone practicing, you're not ex- pressing anything to anyone," he said. He believes festivals are valu- able to young, musicians because they provide an opportunity for them to see how they compare to other artists. "You' can take lessons for years but you'llnever really know where you, stand until you get into a competition. "Anyone thinking about going into music professionally needs to appear in public. The festival is. one of the few places you can do that; in Owen Sound . " • . " He feels festivals give the stud- ent a chance to work a piece of music up to a performance level. Robert is not the only member of the Hall family in the festival this year. His young sisters; Sally and Susan,; have competed in piano classes. • ' With all of them practicing, Robert has found it necessary to seek rehearsal space in Division Street United Church.
