Question for music engraving folks: When Finale announced their discontinuing around this time last year, what way did most folks decide to go? Dorico? Sibelius? Musescore? (Asking for a MT composer friend who needs to transfer a large piano-vocal score from Finale into a supported platform)

There's this area where dogs can go swimming and they have this adorable "library" of sticks and I literally had tears welling up behind my eyes as I watched their joyful paddling and fetching. It didn't feel appropriate to take pictures of the dogs but there were so many! My glee was overwhelming.

I just walked around Fresh Pond in Cambridge while I waited for my car to get fixed and there were so many dogs and I had to restrain myself from outwardly expressing my glee and it was like having a mild panic attack for 45 minutes. So many dogs! I want to pet them all!!!

Hungarian is a super fun language to sing in. I can't believe I've been afraid to try it for all these years! Grateful for performance opportunities that push me out of my comfort zone. #bartok #folksongs

I'm still reverberating from this concert - it was SO GOOD. I basically wept silently through the entire Copland, pulled myself together during intermission, and then silently wept through the Mendelssohn 😭🥰
It was cleansing on a profound level.

I just witnessed my 70 y/o voice student sing her first ever solo recital and she KILLED. A full hour program of art song in three languages, brilliantly and skillfully delivered. What a rush! We've been working together since September 2024. I couldn't be more proud!

It only took 6 days in the Bay Area for our rental car to have a window smashed. Luckily nothing was in it because we know better. Broad daylight, bustling neighborhood. Grr

When my students have a cough or lose their voice, I always tell them the same thing: Rest is your work now. Treat it like a job. Turns out I’m terrible at taking my own advice. I really don't know rest at all.

Today my 70 y/o student sang through all the rep for her 8/16 song recital (her first ever & she's rocking it) and my 78 y/o student performed her one-woman show about becoming a grandmother, including singing parts we worked on in her lessons. This beauty is what I'm choosing to focus on tonight.

Four days back on HRT and it's sort of remarkable how *much* I'm feeling. Like, was I not noticing how much I *wasn't* feeling? It's hard to say. I understand depression can be a side effect of #perimenopause but I wouldn't have identified myself as suffering from it. But wow - I am Feeling stuff!
Circling back to my HRT post from early April: an insurance snafu (emphasis on the "f - u") resulted in a 6-week lapse in access to my hormone prescriptions. I'm finally resuming treatment today, eager to get this train back on the rails. #perimenopause
#perimenopause #realtalk : After being told for years "you're way too young to be in peri-" I finally got a NP to really listen to my symptoms and prescribe HRT. I'm 48, started noticing changes in 2019, haven't had a period in 9 months. Today is my 3rd day on estrogen patch and oral progesterone. 🧵
