Send your bestguess to musicschildren@thewholenote.com. Pleaseprovide your mailingaddress just in case yourname is drawn! Winnerswill be selected by randomdraw among correct repliesreceived by June 20, 2010.Moscow, 1967We Are All Music's ChildrenMay’s Child Winona Zelenkamj buell“Me and my mom, Kathryn, at the Santa Fe Opera,where I played in the orchestra from 2003-2008.”Cellist Winona Zelenka livesin Etobicoke, in Toronto,with her husband, audio engineerRon Searles (an enthusiasticamateur violinist); daughterKathryn, who sings; son James,who also plays cello in his sparetime; and Felix, an orange catwho likes to eat bow-hairs whenWinona’s back is turned.Earliest memory of music?My earliest memory is singing inSunday School! I was probablyabout four: “If You’re Happy andYou Know It”. Everyone knowsthat one!Other family musicians?My father was a professionalflautist in Slovakia before emigratingto Canada, then taughthigh school music in Espanola,Ontario. My mom was a pianistand organist, and played withme for Kiwanis festivals; she alwayshad a job playing organ inchurch, too, and still does!At the time of the photo?I would’ve been around six yearsold: Mom would take all threeof us to Sudbury every week forSuzuki lessons. My sister playedviolin and piano, my brother guitar.Dad was still practising andplaying at the high school sometimes.Music was a daily thing,even if it was just a few minutesof playing – Mom madeit consistent for us. They bothhad the very European approachthat learning music should bepart of growing up for everykid. Dad played his LPs all thetime – romantic orchestral works– great players like Heifetz andRubenstein.Making music alone?I started on piano, probably ataround age four, then cello atfour-and-a-half. I remember playingat home in our house in Espanola– I remember the whitetape on the little cello I startedon, that shows you where toput your fingers. My first celloteacher, who I’m still in touchwith, is a remarkably sensitiveperson with a perpetually enquiringmind; she never lost patiencewith me and always tried to findways to get around my stubbornnessand frustration.And with others?I balked at playing the cello, tillthere was a group Suzuki performancewhen I was five or so,and I refused to play. When Isaw the applause the other kidswere getting, I said hey! I cando that too! My jealousy of theothers caused me to pick up thecello and show my stuff.My family moved to Torontowhen I was nine. The move wasprompted by two things – myDad had been teaching music atEspanola High School, but didnot like it, and decided to changecareers – so he ended up goingto the Chiropractic College inToronto. He never went back toteaching music. The other reasonwas to find me more advancedtraining, which they knew theycould get in Toronto. My teacherin Sudbury knew Bill Findlay ofthe TSO – they had both studiedwith Ronald Leonard at Eastmanyears back. I think my parentsalso had the idea of me going tothe Conservatory, which I eventuallydid.Read the full interview onlineat thewholenote.com.MAY’S WINNERS & PRIZES: CONGRATULATIONS!HERE’S WHAT THEY WON• Mandy Lam: A pair of tickets to attend thelaunch of Winona Zelenka’s two-CD Marquis Classicsrecording, J.
