The incredible and esteemed American composer, Morten Lauridsen, has to auction off his own original manuscripts in order to pay off his medical debt. I don’t even know what to say.

The people saying "AI is here to stay, you need to accept it or you'll be left behind" also said "the metaverse is here to stay" and "NFTs are here to stay" and "crypto is here to stay." Of course it's not. We can shut it down with great prejudice.

@Komaniecki_R No but that was me (a jazz school kid who somehow made it into a classical MMus program) when my classical-PhD-having choral music literature prof literally asked me to explain “how jazz people did that Tritone substitution thing”

@1CathyC Oh I WANT to. I just heard some BS about inactive accounts getting deleted after 30 days so I thought I would protectively tweet something 😅

[Erin Craig (they) @ErinCraig11]

Am I too inactive to keep this account??

A McDonalds hamburger costs $2.09 at the register. McDonalds internal documents show that the raw materials (patty, bun, etc.) cost $0.34. A McDonalds employee makes $11/hr on average with a shift manager making $15/hr. Shifts are 8 people on average. That means McDonalds pays

My Twitter account is older than most of my piano students so 🤷🏻

ADHD and time is so wild, I can wake up in the middle of the night and guess the time almost to the exact minute, but then I mean to send a 2 minute text and 3 hours later I've written a speech on the space-time continuum to a friend that just wanted my current location

A COVID story, with permission:

A healthy healthcare professional friend in her 30s (vaccinated x 3) successfully avoided COVID for two years by taking sensible precautions within her control, assisted by sensible collective protections in place for much of this period.

@byletri DRK for me! I picked up the starting quest because I have heard so many good things about the story, but seeing happy-go-lucky Lann with that much angst was just … impossible! I will have to make an alt if I wanna play through it eventually.

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

People with ADHD are often crushed by the weight of shame.

It persists daily.

Ready to strike at any point when you make some minor mistake, say the wrong thing, or forget an important detail.

Discussions about how most people have caught Omicron so they should develop milder cases of BA.2 ignore high risk ppl (again). What about all of us who did not? Who actively took taking total precautions, this whole time, bc we can't risk getting COVID. Period. 1/6

a large choir night stagger breathe through long phrases, I will take a faster tempo so my choir can do it in a single breath. So, however an ensemble can perform a piece successfully has to be taken into account too! Great show as always :) /end

[Erin Craig (they) @ErinCraig11]

@CBCAboutTime so fascinating on today’s show re:Beethoven’s tempo markings. I’m a composer/arranger, and also a performer/conductor, and my approach to tempo in those two realms is … really different! As a composer/arranger, I will always try my best to give an accurate MM 1/

[Erin Craig (they) @ErinCraig11]

struggled with it? Isn’t too much of a stretch for me. As a conductor, I also reserve the right to change a tempo based on what my ensemble can do. Currently I conduct a VERY small choir, made even smaller by the pandemic. For example, in slow pieces where 5/
