Kathryn Winkel Smith
Salem Pianist Vies in
Contest; Wins Study Course
Being a busy homemaker with three young children to look
after did not keep Kathryn Winkel Smith, Salem pianist, from
following her special interest in music, nor deter her from invad
ing metropolitan San Francisco to try out for a scholarship.
As result the talented local musician has placed second in a
icholarship contest at the
Schmitz School of Piano in San
Francisco, the announcement be
ing made Saturday. The school,
requiring the highest standards,
is conducted by Prof. E. Robert
Schmitz, world-renowned con
cert and recording artist, writer
and teacher.
A special . student with Prof.
Ralph Dobbs at Willamette uni
versity last year, Mrs. Smith
is recognized by music leaders
here is a recreative musical
artist with exceptional inter
pretive ability.
Her unusual career attracted
the personal interest of Prof
essor Schmitz.
Quality of technique and in
terpretation, displayed in the
performance of a varied selec
tion of classical piano composi
tions, was the basis on which a
panel of 15 expert Judges made
awards of scholarships for an
fn(MMiia eiviirAalr enopial cum.
mer session beginning July 5.
Mrs. Smith's award, gained in a
rigorous contest with 14 other
pianists, was a full course of
pianoforte technique and theory
at the special session', includ
ing 20 master lessons.
Studies As Child
Mrs. Smith's interest in music
began in childhood and as a
child in Bremerton, Wash., Mrs.
Smith studied piano and organ
with Prof. Herbert Oldham and
frequently played in local con
certs. Prof. Oldham, who before
settling in Bremerton had had
a long musical career in Eng
land, Canada, and the United
States as a professional organist
and artist accompanist, and as a
teacher in musical conservator
ies, early recognized that he had
a gifted pupil. On his recom
mendation, and with her moth
er's consent and approval, Kath
ryn left school after completing
the eighth grade and spent three
years in concentrated musical
study. During this period, she
performed regularly as pianist
and organist, in solo numbers
and in duets with Prof. Oldham
at the First Methodist church in
Bremerton.
Entering high school as a
iifteen-year-old freshman, Mrs
Smith soon surmounted the
handicap of her long scholastic
vacation, and graduated four
years later as one of the most
popular members of her class.
In high school, she was known
as a skilled pianist, placing sup
erior in a state music contest
and playing frequently on
Seattle radio broadcasts. With
her three younger sisters, whom
she trained herself, Mrs. Smith
formed a vocal quartet which
became a local musical attrac
tion.
Promise of a brilliant musical
career appeared to be thwarted
then by marriage and children
But Mrs. Smith continued to
study and practise, teaching her
self from textbooks, listening
analytically to recordings of
piano masters, spending long
hours in arduous practise, per
forming as accompanist and
soloist for various musical
events, and serving as pianist at
the Charleston Baptist church
Whenever family welfare and
fortunes permitted, she studied
for brief periods with outstand
ing teachers, including Gene
Fiset of Seattle.
Children Study, Too
Since coming to Salem in
1945, Mrs. Smith has continued
her own study, and has launch
ed two of her three children on
musical careers of their own
