Miss Webber began teach- iflg niusic fuiltUnie ini 1969, anid had been teaching several children part-timie for five years previously, In ail, she lias been teaching nmusic about 15 years. Her-busy schiedule includes chur-ch choir practices Thurs. day nighits, the Rotary Club Tuesdays ati noon, and the County Town Singers' prac- tices Wedniesday nighits. The nmoring before each practice she does lier own praciicing at the organ or piano for two hou rs. When she first joined the Singrers, as a stand-mn for a pianisi thla t xas sick, she doubled for a pianist and a choir mieniber. Wiihin a few months, the Singer's director Jini Ashley asked her to be the choir's fuil-time pianist. This year being the 1Oth anniversary, the Singers have a particularly heavy schiedule. They have I18 performances in May and June alone. Miss Webber-, although she appears poised and in control of the situation ai ail con- certs, admits she is always nervous. "Check me before a showv, and l'n pacin.g", she says. In nine years of playing for the Cotinty Town Singers, Miss Webber says she lias neyer made a serjous erroron the piano, and any miînor ones she can usuaily cover Lip. 0f ail the music she has played, she finds Jim Ashley's score for Jesus Christ Super- star the mnost challenging--all 48 pagels of it. Marg Webber, pianist for the County TownSingers, poses at a small organ in her home on Brock Street. Miss Webber has an active career in music, teaching, playing the piano fo r t' - e Whitby Rotary Club, and serving as organist and choir director of St. Mark's United Church. Altho:rgl she is a polislied performer, Miss Webber has had nmoments during concerts wlîen everything sceemed to go wrong. Once ai a dinner meeting where the Singers were per- forming, the music rack felI off thic piano, and scattered lier nmusic over the floor. She gol il set up again, but need- cd soniebody to tomn the pages. "I turned to an inebriated lady belind me anîd said, "Cari you read nmusic", she said,- "The lady said 'no' s0 1 said 'Can yoti turn the pages? Every, unie I wantcd her to turli, 1 said 'now' and sfic turned tlie pages" On anoilier occasion, when the Singers were- taping a television show for "The Church Todaiy". on Chiannel 11, Miss Wcbber had 10 pre- tend she vas playing tlîe piano while the music was corîîrng froni a tape. Tlîe piano she xvas given wvas shorter ilian the one slîe nornîally used, and wvben she reaclied tlîe lîigl notes, lier hands went riglît off the piano. Sfic stili wonders if anyone saw lier do ihai on television. Another nieniorable even- ing is thie lime wlîcn a leg felI off tlhe piano aithie concert fo r t ie opening of tlie Iroquois Park Arenia, anid the Singers tîad 10 stop their per- fornmance wliile qluick repairs were, na de. Miss Webber also renîemi- bers the limie she performied at a senior citizens' gatlierinîg ah Bowniianville, and the leg on (lic piano bondi. was so loose she had tb use lier own leg to hold the bench up.

Miss Webber was particular- ]y inicrested in the large and beautiful pianos slie used in Europe, which sle says wcre beiter rnaintained ihan thiose in Canada. One tihing Miss Webber would like to see is more young people get involved ini churchi choir work so thiat thcre will be somecone to take iheplace of older choir miem- bers whlo leave.
