Earlier this past week, Christopher Davis from The Classical Guitar Blog asked if I would be interested in writing on his blog as a second writer. I was quite honored to be asked and accepted his offer. Yesterday I wrote my first (of hopefully many) posts on the blog. I figured I'd keep the first article somewhat light, so the post focuses more on finding inspiration outside of one's own practicing.
Well without further ado, here's the link to my post:
Introduction... and Inspiration
Enjoy!

New websites and a few thoughts...
First, I wanted to let you all know of my new website. It's the same address, just updated so take a look:

This September started my final year of school. I'm currently attending the Hartt School of Music for my Masters in Classical Guitar Performance and Suzuki Guitar Pedagogy. While I've always known that technique practiced needed to be part of my daily practice life, I never felt it until I started my Masters. Throughout the past 2 years how I approach technique has been constantly evolving. This week is no different.
Over the summer I had a lot more time to devote to the development and refinement of my technique. However, now with my responsibilities at school I find that doing a full hour of JUST scale work can't happen anymore. I have too many pieces to learn, performances to prepare for, and work to do for classes. So this led me to a creative solution that I've never tired before.
This is what my scale schedule was like during the summer:

Initial Post
Hello everyone,
Over the next weeks I'll be preparing a series of articles based upon practicing. These started out as documents that I present to my students, and I figured I would share them on my website.
I'll be dedicating this Blog to all my classical guitar events, concerts, concerts that I see, and my own thoughts and ideas on certain matters.
Stay tuned...within a week or so, I'll roll out the first part of my practicing articles.
