    Marty Lindvahl & Aaron Smiley: Creators of Judge's Assistant

    Marty & Mark Lindvahl, retired music educators and clinicians extraordinaire, are my guest this week along with their son-in-law Aaron Smiley to share about their new invention: Judge's Assistant. Judge's Assistant uses AI to transcribe, categorize, and summarize judges' recorded comments to make it easier for directors and clinicians to provide timely feedback to performing ensembles. It's a really neat tool and I'm excited to see it put to use this competition season! Now entering their 10th year, HOA's 2025 season will include competitions in Nashville, Orlando, and Los Angeles.

    Julianne Merrill: Broadway Programmer / Music Director

    My guest today is Julianne Merrill, who works on Broadway as a music director, pianist, and electronic music designer. Both of us are alumni of North Central High School in Indianapolis and we have worked together for the past several seasons on the show choir creative team. We’ve also collaborated in making the Breeze Tunes Mainstage Library, which was designed to cover the most commonly requested types of sounds needed by keyboards in show choir and is a good middle ground for groups getting started with MainStage. *This episode was recorded before the announcement that MakeMusic's Finale was being discontinued.* Now entering their 10th year, HOA's 2025 season will include competitions in Nashville, Orland and Los Angeles.
