Start 'Em Young. Today, while many Oriental string players get their major training in the U.S. with such top teachers as Gregor Piatigorsky and Juilliard's Ivan Galamian, home-grown instruction has turned into a near industry. The most famous Oriental string teacher is Japan's Shinichi Suzuki, 70, whose revolutionary start-'em-young technique produced tiny Miss Kasuya-one of a group of Suzuki prodigies now touring the U.S.-and her note-perfect Mozart.

The idea occurred originally to Air Canada's President Gordon Mc Gregor, 65, a World War II fighter pilot who has built Air Canada into a flourishing line with 42,000 miles of route to the U.S., Europe and the Caribbean. McGregor wanted Moscow on his route as well, flew there for discussions with General E. F. Loginov, who is both Aeroflot's head and Russia's director of civil aviation.
