Re: Week 1: Setting Sails!
@Bruno Calixto Nice start! This is a fun piece to play. Tonebase has a great lesson on this. It’s all in Spanish, which I don’t understand, but musical language is universal!

@Tomas Rodriguez I really enjoyed your piece! I’m assuming it’s your composition. Does it have a name? A very danceable rhythm. My toes are tapping!

Re: Week 3: Show your Flowers!
@Eric Phillips measures 12-13 from Segovia’s edition. I love the low F in measure 13, but keeping the bar for the Bb on the second string was stressful.
