Holsclaw Hall - University of Arizona

The "David and Leonard Schaeffer Memorial Guitar Competition" supports the work of outstanding undergraduate guitarists at the University of Arizona's Bolton Guitar Studies Program.  I had students compete in it years ago, even win, and many of it's laureates have gone on to international fame.  It is an honor to be in the judging panel for the final round this year - and it's always a pleasure to listen to these players!

Adams State College - Music Building

I am offering a series of master-classes and workshops at Adams State College this semester.

In this workshop we will explore "Retrieval Points" - a practice tool that:

• Sustains concentration during long practice sessions
• Strengthens memorization
• Increases performance confidence
• Saves time when maintaining a large repertoire
• Facilitates mental practice
• Makes pieces a lot easier to brush up after not playing them for a while

This s a simple tool - you probably already use it! Learn to use it to its fullest potential.  The examples will be from guitar pieces, but this tool works well for any instrument, and voice.

Dwan Light Sanctuary

On the beautiful campus of the United World College, the Dwan Light Sanctuary is an amazing space:

The concert is early so that we can all enjoy the beautiful effect the sunlight has on the walls.

I'll be playing a full solo program - I'll post the pieces here once they it's decided.

We will be filming and recording this for future broadcasting.  

It's a pleasure to play for the UWC community, and for my friends from NM Highlands University in nearby Las Vegas.

I'm very much looking forward to this concert.  I did a brief tour with Michael last year, and had a blast.  We'll each be playing some solo, and also some of his compositions.  I'll post the program once it is decided. We're also playing in Tucson on April 22nd.  You can learn more about Michael Lich - guitarist, banjo player, and composer, at http://www.michaellich.com, but here's the lowdown:
