Hello fellow musicians!

I would like to ask if any of you (musician or not) of any free programs for music-making. Like putting the beats in tempo (so they're not wishy-washy), instruments, mixing, and anything helpful. I wanna create music but I want a free program to do so (like no paywalls or just free trials and whatnot). I have one method of making music so far but I'm worried it might not turn out well. Just askin'!

New Opera Collections

Special Collections & Archives is proud to unveil two recently processed collections related to opera in New Orleans.

The Anthony M. LaRocca Opera Scrapbook contains autographed images and programs from famed opera singers, as well as newspaper clippings about New Orleans opera performances. Autographed images include Charles Anthony, Giuseppe Valdengo, Ferruccio Tagliavini, Tito Gobbi, Astrid Varnay, Sherrill Milnes, Giuseppe di Stefano, Eugene Conley, and Italo Tajo, among others. Autographed programs include performances by the New Orleans Opera Association (NOOA) and the Metropolitan Opera. The scrapbook was collected and assembled by avid opera fan and memorabilia collector Anthony M. LaRocca, a lifelong resident of New Orleans and frequent retreatant at Manresa, the Jesuit retreat center in Louisiana. LaRocca received a Purple Heart for his service as a Marine in World War II and then went on to work for Church Typewriter Service and St. Henry Church. 

The Boris Borodin and Maria Mayhoff Scrapbook contains images of Borodin and Mayhoff, brother-and-sister-in-law opera singers who both performed with the New Orleans Opera Association.

Contralto Maria Mayhoff-Freudenberg (simply Mayhoff in her performance career) came to New Orleans as a refugee from Nazi-occupied Europe in the1930s and petitioned for United States citizenship in 1945. Mayhoff-Freudenberg was an inaugural member of the New Orleans Opera Association (NOOA). She performed the titular role in NOOA’s 1943 debut summer season performance of Carmen, and went on to perform over a dozen roles with NOOA. Prior to her time in New Orleans, Mayhoff-Freudenberg attended the National Austrian Academy and performed with both the Vienna Opera and the New Orleans Symphony. She also performed as a soloist at social events throughout New Orleans from the 1940s-1950s. 

Operatic bass Boris Borodin was born April 10, 1898 in Russia, and immigrated to the United States in 1936 where he became a naturalized citizen. He performed twice with NOOA in the 1940s and later with the Boston Grand Opera Company. Borodin’s brother, Benjamin L. Freudenberg, was married to Maria MayhoffFreudenberg. Borodin passed away in July of 1993.

Both of these collections are available for research in the Booth-Bricker Reading Room at Loyola University New Orleans.To schedule an appointment, email us at [email protected] or call 504-864-7063.

Post Program Euphoria

Every year after my Music Programs are over there is a sense of relief and happiness that is only associated with the freedom of fantastically making music with my students. 

I usually get several emails from parents gushing about the programs, people stop me EVERYWHERE in Small Town telling me that they loved the program for several weeks after, my Principal also receives a few emails in the gushing format.  If they receive any hate/negative emails, I don’t ever know....I wonder, maybe I should ask!?!?

Anyway, this year a Parent, yes, A PARENT emailed my District Superintendent (who forwarded it to me) just gushing about the program and me as a music teacher and how the district is lucky to have me as a teacher.

I don’t blog about this to “raise my ego” at all.  I am still kinda in shock...someone actually took the time to go above my Principal, above the Assistant Superintendent to the Head Honcho to single me out in such a positive manner.

I really don’t like the notoriety. I value living under the radar and my privacy, but that email....

Humbled and Euphoric.

hi pink! i was looking to maybe get into making music for rpgs and wondered if you knew of common programs people use to do so? or your followers perhaps? i know that might be out of place to ask you that bc i dont actually know if you make music but im not sure either way!!

I actually was looking at a free list of audio editing programs earlier this week - check it!

Anyone have any suggestions they’d like to give? :)

I may not be popular but many people need to know about this.

It's affecting most of the small schools and giving them a harder chance to get proper scores or proper comments to help. If you want to sign the petition, here's the link https://c.org/YZkBWnssQF your help will be appreciated.❤️

If the link doesn't work please comment and let me know.
