1 December 8, 2017 The Gavotte MacPhail Suzuki News Suzuki Stories from the Past: Rita Docter Rita Docter reminisces below about her experience in the MacPhail Suzuki Program during the 1970s and 80s with her children, Pete, Kirsten and Kari. WOW! For a beginning orchestra this group sounds fabulous!! Mark Bjork was teaching elementary orchestra and Suzuki violin lessons right outside my music office at Oakwood Elementary School in Wayzata. I would love to have my children learn to play the violin by this method!! When Pete was almost 5 years old, I contacted Mark, who was teaching at MacPhail. He s almost too old to start playing the violin, but I ll take him! A year later, Kirsten, 4, began violin lessons with Nancy Ohnstad. Every evening, at bedtime, we faithfully listened to our Suzuki tape, Kari came along to all lessons. When Kari was 2, I remember her crawling under Mark Bjork s studio piano and singing along while Pete was playing Gossec Gavotte. When our kids were 5, 7, and 9, we lived in Denmark for fourteen months. A wonderful Suzuki violin program existed in Copenhagen. A new cello program was just beginning. Kari was the youngest cellist in the class of eight. She was even a soloist in the Tivoli Concert Hall playing the Handel, Bouree. When we returned from Denmark Kirsten began studying violin with Mark Bjork. In the Bloomington schools, 5th grade students were required to study an instrument. Kirsten chose the viola and sometime later began studying with Alice Preves. By the seventh grade she was a confirmed violist and stopped her violin lessons. However, the MacPhail Suzuki Orchestra needed violists, so Kirsten remained at MacPhail. When Peter grew to be 6 5, he began bass lessons with Nancy Bjork. Pete can be seen playing the violin in some short Pixar films and once in a while played the bass in the studio orchestras that recorded the music for his films UP and Inside Out. Pete says he usually picks the excerpts with whole notes!! Just before she was 3, Kari began cello lessons with John Slagle. Kari s lesson buddy was Katie Altobell. Both little girls loved their cellos and loved playing together. That special friendship remains strong today, 41 years later. Kari studied with Michael Murray and then John Dunham. Besides private lessons, John was also the conductor of the Suzuki Orchestra. Orchestra. Members looked forward each week to seeing what kind of tie Mr. Dunham would wear. The orchestra took trips, to Winnipeg, Canada, France and to Germany. Other classes, including theory lessons and chamber music were added to the MacPhail offerings and the girls were soon spending most of the day on Saturdays at MacPhail. From the beginning, MacPhail was like an extended family! The teachers, parents and students all cared about each other. As our children grew, the MacPhail Suzuki program also grew, offering more classes and opportunities for us all. These programs brought discipline and focus to our children, important for their future lives. We are ever grateful for the richness, beauty and joy that MacPhail has brought to us.

3 The Gavotte: MacPhail Suzuki News PAGE 3 50 Years of MacPhail Suzuki: Come and celebrate the MacPhail Suzuki Program 50th Anniversary! Mark Bjork founded the Suzuki program in 1967 with just a few violin students, after seeing the Suzuki Violin Tour Group from Japan during one of their first international tours to the United States. In 1974, Nancy Pederson began a Suzuki piano program at MacPhail and became the Suzuki Associate Director. The two worked together to build one of the most reputable Suzuki programs in the country. Today the program features lessons in 7 instruments (piano, harp, guitar, violin, viola, cello, and flute) and has more than 700 students. We hope current and former Suzuki students, teachers, parents, family and friends can come together to celebrate the rich history of our program.
