One of twelve American graduates from the Talent Education Institute in Matsumoto, Japan, Bruce Anderson studied with both Dr. Shinichi Suzuki and Dr. Haruko Kataoka. Mr. Anderson will be in Atlanta March 22-26 at Piano Distributors Warehouse and Piano Store, 1736 Cobb Pkwy SE, Marietta Ga 30060, (770) 952-8585.

The workshop, "Developing Human Potential through Musical Study," will feature masterclass lessons and a parent talk at 3 PM on Sunday afternoon - Suzuki Method in the 21st Century. The Thursday morning lecture, Developed Ablility Vs. Talent and the Friday morning lecture, The Multi-Instrument Experience, (10AM-11:30AM) are free to area teachers and college students. An innovation for this workshop will be Mr. Anderson's multi-piano group lessons.
