My goal is to take advantage of an opportunity to receive some private instruction from Jason Vieaux while he is in Duluth to perform a concert and other outreach activities for Matinee Musicale. This is a rare opportunity for me to receive feedback on my playing from a high level performing artist. Therefore the "measurable outcomes" shall be specific pieces of advice with regards to my playing technique, presentation, expression, or possibly non-instrument specific things like navigating the recording process and the "business" of classical music. I will evaluate the lesson by documenting what was discussed and how I will apply it to my further playing and performance. I expect there to be very concrete examples to point to, and will provide these in my final report.
The primary goal was to receive some private instruction from Jason Vieaux while he was in Duluth to perform a concert and other outreach activities for Matinee Musicale. The "measurable outcomes" were specific pieces of advice with regards to my playing technique, presentation, expression. We worked on 3 movements from two different works, and I received lots of feedback on my interpretation as well as suggestions for alternate fingerings for many passages. The exact points we covered are too numerous and perhaps to "guitar technique specific" to go into great detail here, but I've no doubt it could be broken down to several hundred points of advice.
