Texas Orchestra Director of the Year
Ruth Kurtis
S
ome people are born in Texas and some come as quickly as they can! Born in St Joseph MI, Ruth’s fulfilled life as a musician began at age seven on a borrowed, three-quarter-size violin. Finally, her parents had found relief from the pestering, only to be faced with the indescribable sounds from a beginning violinist! Ruth’s training in running track shaped her musical growth by developing personal perseverance, motivation to work toward a goal of excellence, and offering team experience with a common aspiration. Inspired to be a music educator especially through Interlochen Music Camps, Ruth earned her BM at Western Michigan University in 1980 and a MME in 1994 from the University of North Texas. After one year teaching in Escanaba MI, Ruth and her husband, Jim, moved to Dallas where she taught at West JH and Berkner HS in Richardson ISD. Here, under the mentorship of Joseph Frank, Sr, and with the help of a motivated and inspired team of directors, Ruth’s teaching style and goals grew primarily into one single aspiration: starting with the raw material of each unique student, motivate the kids individually and as a team toward excellence in two areas — creating magical music together
2009
and living out mutual respect for each other. Ruth’s orchestras often have been characterized as musical families. Building these families also included grooming a teaching team and parent network dedicated to similar goals. As just such a “family”, Ruth’s orchestras won many state and national festival awards along the way, but this was never the goal. The goal was to shape the kids as excellent musicians and people, individually and together. Incidentals along the way include the orchestra awards of String Honor Orchestra in 1987 and runner-up to the Full Honor Orchestra in 2001. Similarly, personal awards 24
include: RISE Teacher of the Year for RISD, Most Influential Teacher Awards, PTA Lifetime Achievement Award, and many listings in the America’s Outstanding Teachers. Build it and they will come. In 2005 a dream of a lifetime was offered in McKinney, to lead a team in building a new string program. Of course this meant leaving Ruth’s orchestra family at Berkner. Yet in only three years, the fledgling McKinney program grew from 72 students to over 500 students districtwide. During this time Ruth also conducted the Sinfonietta Orchestra of the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra and was the Master Teacher for the Cross Timbers Elementary Strings Program.
R
uth has grown personally and professionally through leadership and service in the musical community in capacities for TMEA as Region Chair and other committees; in UIL as Chair of Prescribed Music Committee, Sight Reading Selection Committee, Committee on Adjudication Standards; as president and treasurer of TexASTA; as president of TODA, and as a charter member of Mu Omicron. She currently chairs the National ASTA Committee on School Orchestras and Strings. Retiring to join her husband in Tucson AZ, Ruth has been blessed as guest

Texas Orchestra Director of the Year clinician, conductor, national presenter, and adjudicator across the country, realizing a new goal — teaching teachers. A lifetime of teaching leads to a lifetime of influencing others. Quotes from former students and colleagues include: • “Mrs K would motivate us to do our best. I learned to love music because of the foundation that she laid down for me. I have since gone on to compete successfully in all region competitions. I love playing the bass thanks to Mrs Kurtis. I will always appreciate her teaching style.” • “Mrs Kurtis is an inspiration for all of her students.” • “I had been having the usual first year struggles, and trying to decide if teaching orchestra was really what I ‘wanted to do when I grew up’. She once cliniced my kids. As the evening progressed, I
watched as she sensitively and masterfully put kids at ease, encouraged them, and gave them minilessons. By the end of the evening I was so moved that I was in tears. I thanked her for her work with my students, and for inspiring me to stay and become the best I could be. . . . It has been such a blessing and privilege to have met Ruth right when I needed it most, and to continue to have her in my life as a mentor, colleague, and friend.” • “Ruth Kurtis has been an outstanding mentor, and an unsung hero for many of us. Please honor her with this distinction for her service to music and musicians.” • “ She teaches kids to appreciate and use their gifts of music. Students in her orchestras feel valued and important. To quote her upon her departure from Berkner in 2005 (Yes, I have kept her letter because it inspired me so.), “Do not
25
let fear stop you from achieving and striving for the best that you can be. Don’t let anyone talk you out of being that creative person that you are. Keep coming back to the point that your life is better and fuller with music in it, and don’t let anything stop you.” Ruth doesn’t just say this; she lives it every day in her classroom. Her leadership in our profession is prodigious. My point is that her goal as a leader is not to be important, but to help others.” Ruth gives thanks to God and to all who contributed to her growth as a music educator as she accepts the TODA Orchestra Director of the Year Award. She thanks the thousands of kids whose lives she influenced, as she also learned from them. She charges her colleagues in the field: Love and teach those kids your best every day, for you have the unique opportunity to shape their souls through music.

You and the Exhibits For your benefit, the TODA Board has made a special effort to schedule times in our Convention when you may visit the exhibits with no conflicting TODA Sessions. It is our hope that you will use this special time to further enhance your benefits realized from the TODA Clinic-Convention. The exhibit area is one of the highlights of any TODA Convention. It is here that you as a director will find endless sources to help you in your daily tasks. Since the exhibits complement the reading sessions, members should budget their time so that they may attend all reading sessions and workshops and still have ample time for the exhibits. To ensure maximum benefit from the exhibits, try the following guidelines: 1. Study the convention program and note the time available for visiting the exhibits. 2. Locate exhibits which appeal most to your area of emphasis. However, don’t avoid others. They will afford
you many new, fresh ideas. 3. An abundance of free material will be offered to you. Most exhibitors will be glad to send you literature or samples of their products, some even on approval, at no expense to you. 4. Before removing anything from a booth, be sure that it is a sample, free for the taking. The exhibit attendant will be glad to advise you what to take with you. 5. Whenever possible, register for the mailing lists of the exhibiting companies. 6. When time and opportunity permit, get to know the sales people associated with each of the exhibiting companies. A personal contact between you and a company can be very rewarding. 7. Finally, realize that TODA is what it is, in part, because of the exhibitors. Express your appreciation to them for their product and for their support of TODA. 26

2009 Procedure for Selecting Convention Music The Board of Directors of TODA chooses the music to be read at the annual Convention/Clinic. These selections are chosen at an annual meeting of the Board in early June. The Board restricts its choices to music which has been published during the prior year with the exception of special categories such as UIL music. Selections are chosen from music that is sent to TODA from the various music publishing companies. The appeal to the TODA membership of newly-published music may vary from year to year according to what is received from publishers. Suggestions from the general membership for selections which fit the new music requirement are always welcome and greatly appreciated. 50
