Linda Nakagawa to Conduct Workshop
On Saturday and Sunday, January 31 - February 1, 2009, guest clinician Linda Nakagawa from Sacramento, California will conduct masterclasses for our students in the Hagberg Studio. Linda teaches all over the United States and in Singapore. She travels often to Japan for her own study and is the director of the Suzuki Piano Basics International 10-Piano Concert in Sacramento, held every two years.
In addition to student lessons during the day, Linda will conduct a Question/Answer session for parents from 5:45-6:30 p.m. on Saturday, followed by a potluck supper for teachers and parents. All parents and their adult guests are welcome to attend this event whether or not your child is enrolled in the workshop. Please sign up in the studio.
Congratulations, Nick!
