Hi Mark! I’m curious to know what your take is on music competitions? I have a classical guitar degree from Marshall University and the faculty always liked talking about us signing up to participate in competitions. For me personally I don’t like the competitive atmosphere based on music. I’m curious on your take as several classical guitarist that visited the school had different takes on this. Also, who was the luthier that made your guitar? Thanks for the awesome AMA

Thanks for the response! It’s always nice to see a classical guitarist on here as there are not a lot of us compared to other classical instruments! If I may ask, I am also curious to what would be your advise to a fellow classical guitar performer to gain more traction into a career with the instrument? Unlike other instruments ours doesn’t fit to well in orchestras as there are not too many pieces except for concertos that include guitar. I’m currently getting my MAT to teach in public schools but I want to do more with my performance degree also, but I don’t know where to start?

I would love to. I’m busy this weekend but should have free time next week. I can send you my email or contact info if you would like (or vice verse) and we can come up with a time on a different date for a face time or something. Thanks for the great AMA and keep up the good work!

Will do! Sent you one on FB!
