Melanie sent my ticket for the Ligonier Highland Games. I've been setting the timer and metronome and working on pieces in my competition set. I'm trying to be methodical in my practice, and something great is happening. As I slow the pieces down, I'm finding some places where my fingering doesn't let me stay connected to the strings to flow more smoothly to the next phrase of a melody. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some of these new fingerings engrained through short, focused practice sessions.
