That same year, she also won the Andrés Segovia International Competition in Linares, Spain, and was named a finalist in the Alexandre Tansman International Competition of Musical Personalities in Lodz, Poland.

Since then, she has been active as a solo recitalist, chamber musician and concerto soloist around the world. Recent seasons included appearances at festivals and on concert series through the United States, Europe, Russia, China, and Australia. 

She received both the Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from the Peabody Conservatory, where she studied with Manuel Barrueco, and completed her Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the University of Southern California as a student of Scott Tennant.

Professor Masters is President of the Guitar Foundation of America. She has released seven recordings (Naxos, GSP, and independent releases) and has published three books with Mel Bay Publications and Alfred Music. For more information, visit www.marthamasters.com.
