History
Established in 1907.
In 1907, William S. MacPhail, an original member of the Minneapolis Symphony (now the Minnesota Orchestra), established the MacPhail School of Violin in Minneapolis. By 1966, four years after the death of William MacPhail, the MacPhail family gifted the MacPhail College of Music to the University of Minnesota. In the late 1960s, MacPhail introduced an Early Childhood Arts program and one of the nation’s first Suzuki Talent Education programs. It would take more than a decade for similar programs to begin to be seen across the country. In 1994, MacPhail became an independent, nonprofit organization. A certified member of the National Guild for Community Arts Education, and a 501© 3 nonprofit, MacPhail remains a steadfast leader in music education, and now employs 225 teaching artists and serves more than 13,400 students. MacPhail provides instruction at nearly 100 locations outside of its downtown Minneapolis facility in more than 35 instruments and offers music instruction online.
