I had a great masterclass with Susana Prieto of Duo Melis. I played John Dowland’s “Tremolo” Fantasy, P. 73, and she worked with me on playing the piece with more attention to line and direction. She also suggested an articulation which will highlight some of the syncopations in the music.

Correction: In the last post, I said that two of my fellow guitar students at UT moved to the final round of the competition, but in fact only Chad Ibison did.
