Bill McGlaughlin
William "Bill" McGlaughlin (born October 3, 1943) is an American composer, conductor, music educator, and Peabody Award-winning classical music radio host. He is the host and music director of the public radio programs ''Exploring Music'' and ''Saint Paul Sunday''.
A nationally noted radio commentator, Bill McGlaughlin is known for his cheerful, open, and down-to-earth personality on classical music radio.〔Phillips, Lisa. (''Public Radio: Behind the Voices''. ) Vanguard Press, 2006. p. 313.〕 Beyond his career as a broadcaster and music educator, McGlaughlin has also spent a decade as a professional orchestral musician, over three decades as a conductor, and a decade as a successful composer. McGlaughlin views the more recent, radio broadcast aspect of his musical career as outreach — as a way to keep classical music from becoming an increasingly marginalized art form, with ever smaller and older audiences.〔Phillips, Lisa. (''Public Radio: Behind the Voices''. ) Vanguard Press, 2006. p. 317.〕
==Early life==
McGlaughlin was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and his unusual accent stems from his Philadelphia childhood and the influence of his Scottish-American grandfather, with whom he lived during his early childhood and late teens. Bill absorbed the music of opera at a very young age, as his draftsman father listened while in his at-home workshop. When Bill was 6, his father gave him a harmonica, and together they enjoyed playing their favorite opera melodies by ear.〔Phillips, 2006. pp. 314–315.〕〔(Family of origin ): Mother: Catharine Hogan McGlaughlin; father: William McGlaughlin, Sr.; Scottish grandfather: John Hogan. Bill is the oldest of six siblings.〕 His father also had many instrumental classical albums, which Bill enjoyed listening to in his own bedroom.〔''Exploring Music'', episode April 21, 2008, "Tchaikovsky, Part II."〕 Bill's mother, a high-school English teacher, was also a music lover.〔〔"Music is to me, my sister, and was to my mother, a great human need. Even in these difficult times there are spiritual needs, and music is one of them. It's not a question of do we or don't we — we have to have quality music in Kansas City." Bill McGlaughlin, quoted in: Schondelmeyer, Brent. (''Building a First Class Bank: The Story of United Missouri Bank'' ). United Missouri Bancshares, 1986. p. 119.〕
At the age of 14, McGlaughlin received his first piano lesson, quite by accident — his younger brother had been taking a series of pre-paid piano lessons but abruptly quit, so Bill was given the remainder. By his second lesson, McGlaughlin knew he wanted to be a professional musician, and began practicing eight hours a day.〔Strauss, Elaine. ("Exploring & Celebrating the Uncommon Music" ). ''U.S. 1''. June 3, 2009.〕
