WWW.NECPENGUIN.COM

Here we are again folks, starting a fresh year at the New England Conservatory of Music. We at The Penguin would like to extend our best wishes to those returning to our lovely community for another excellent year, and would like to extend a huge welcome to the incoming class and students of New England Conservatory. Part of what makes NEC the place it is today, is the variety of personalities, focuses, cultures and - of course - music, that every new class brings to our little-big corner of Boston, Massachusetts. For our back-to-school issue, we've put together a fun collection of tips and information that we think will help you surive NEC and Boston. But that's

not all; inside this issue you'll find interviews with the Residence Life Staff that many of you will come to know over the course of the year, articles written by Alan Karass, one of NEC's Head Librarians, and tips, tricks, recipes and an assortment of other advice to help you survive your first month at New England Conservatory. If you like what you see, you too could become part of what we do! Check us out online and on social media as we join you for another amazing year in the city of Boston.

MEET THE 2015-16

Daniel Hersog - GA, Student ActivitesQ: What about Boston, and specifically NEC, do you wish you got to see more of?A: I feel I saw a lot - I never lived in Residence, and I will as a GA this year. I definitely missed out on the activities there - but you know what it would be? I wish I had gone to more student recitals and concerts. I don’t think I’ve seen the NEC Phil play live. I wish I made more time to do that. It’s a luxury.Q: As a Jazz Composer, what’s something unique about our major?A: We have an orchestra devoted entirely to reading and recording our piec-es. The students that play in it are fabulous, and you really get to enjoy your work that way.

Nicholas Myers - GA, Residence Life Q: What’s it like to study Bass as a Major? What’s one thing you want people to know about your studio?A: It’s good to be a bass player at NEC - we never experience any sort of destructive competition and it’s always congenial. The bass definitely draws a certain personality type.Q: What’s something you wish you knew as a new student? A: When I was a freshman, I wish I knew more about the libraries, which are great resources. I know it wasn’t around when I was a freshman, but the newly opened Target in Fenway is sweet and I plan to go there frequently.

Allessandra Cionco - Director of Student LifeQ: What’s something you wish you knew as a new student in the city of Boston?A: Most places offer a student discount of some kind and there are so many free activities, classes, etc. to take advantage of in the city! Get a Pruferred Card, a college discount book, and don’t be afraid to ask if there is a student special or discount. It will save you lots of money on food, clothing, haircuts and more in the long run!Q: How many times in the morning do you snooze your alarm clock?A: At least twice!

RES-LIFE STAFF!Davey Harrison - GA, Health and WellnessQ: What are your favorite places on and off campus?A: For Tranquility’s sake, I love Firestone Library. There’s something about the atmosphere in that part of campus which just helps me focus and get things done. Oh, and of course, Jordan Hall. Off-Campus, the MFA is pretty special, especially since it’s so close. People should check out Club Passim in Harvard Square too!Q: What do you look forward to doing as GA of Health and Wellness?A: Being a music major can bring on a lot of extra stressors that people don’t realize. If I can help just one person with getting over that and excelling, I’ll be happy.

Sonnet Swire - RA, Fifth Floor FloorQ: What are you looking forward to most as an RA this year?A: The change - the atmosphere of a new floor. I’m not sure if I’m more ner-vous or estatic with it. I’ve worked with young undergraduate girls for a very long time - I’m used to girly things. But being on a 21 Co-ed floor will be dif-fernet. They know how to be responsible - they’ve probably done this once or twice. Building a community with them will be different and exciting.Q: What’s something you wish you knew as a new student?A: Work with your teachers. They genuinely want you to succeed, and they can be your greatest resource at NEC.

Ellise Kolle - RA, Seventh FloorQ: The Harp studio isn’t always the largest - what’s something about the Harp studio that you don’t think people know about, but you’d like them to know about?A: We play in various ensembles because they rotate us. I played in all five NEC ensembles in my freshman year, which is common for us. When you have so many ensembles and not too many harpists, that really gives us unique playing opportunities - I even played during Die Walküre last year!

TASTY VARIATIONS ON A THEME BY PAGANINIComposers in the Kitchen

penguin RECIPES

Rumor has it that Niccolo Paganini was a virtuoso in the kitchen, as well as onstage. He has a famous ravioli recipe to prove it. Although

Jean Sibelius did not compose during the latter part of his life, he did take the time to concoct a punch recipe. Gioachino Rossini was

both a philosopher and connoisseur of food, who wrote recipes for the adventurous chef. Bartok was intrigued by halibut and avocado,

and Beethoven (allegedly) loved the German version of macaroni-and-cheese. Were these composers maestros of taste, as well as sound?

Here is just one recipe that was composed to whet your appetite (feel free to interpret the more exotic ingredients as needed).

Paganini’s RavioliRavioli are a type of dumpling composed of a filling sealed between two layers of thin pasta dough. Usually served either in broth or with a pasta sauce, they originated as a traditional food in Italian cuisine.

Cuisine: Italian

Serves: 3-4

Ingredients1/2 lbs. of flour

2 lbs. of lean beaf

Butter

Tomatoes

Mushrooms

1/2 lbs. of lean Veal

A calf’s brain

Lugano Sausage

An Onion

3 Eggs

A pinch of Borage (otherwise known as starflower)

Instructions1. For a pound and a half of flour, two pounds of good lean beef to make

the sauce, place in the frying pan some butter, then a small amount of fine

chopped onions, and brown slightly.

2. Put in the beef, and cook till it begins to take on a bit of color. For a thick

sauce, take a few pinches of flour and gradually sprinkle them into the meat

juices to brown, then take some tomatoes, break them up in water, pour

some of the water into the flour in the frying pan and mix well to dissolve.

Finally add some finely chopped and pounded dried mushrooms, and that’s

the meat sauce.

3. Now for the pasta. To lift the eggless dough: a little bit of salt in the pasta

will help with its consistency.

4. Sauté the rolls on each side until browned. Add the remaining pickles,

onions, and bacon to the pan in between and around the meat.

5. Now for the filling. Using the same pan as for the meat, in the sauce, cook

half a pound of lean veal, then remove, chop it and pound it. Take a calf’s

brain, cook it in the water, then remove the skin covering the brain, chop

and pound well, separately take a little lugano sausage, remove the skin,

chop and pound separately. Take a good pinch of borage, boil, squeeze out

thoroughly and pound as above

6. Take three eggs, sufficient for a pound and a half of flour. Beat them

thoroughly and add the various ingredients listed above, which should be

pounded again, adding a little Parmesan cheese to the eggs. And that’s the

filling.

7. Stir together the flour and 1/3 cup water until smooth. Slowly pour this

mixture into the gravy to thicken, stirring constantly. Bring the gravy to a

boil as you stir, and keep boiling and stirring until the gravy has reached the

desired consistency. For a ravioli, cut the pasta slightly wet, and leave for an

hour covered to give thin sheets.

The Penguin’s College-Friendly Ravioli Recipe

Ingredients - Obtainable at Whole Foods, Shaw’s, Trader Joe’s and more!1 Box of Cheese Ravioli

1 Jar of Organic Tomato Sauce

1 Container of freshly Grated Cheese

Instructions1. In your kitchen, grab a pot big enough for your ravioli (depending on

how much you can personally eat, you may want to invite a friend!). Fill that

pot with water and set it to boil.

2. When your pot is boiling, grab your box of ravioli and place each one

individually into the pot. Stir them as necessary, and follow the instructions

on the box - some types of ravioli take longer to cook than others.

3. Once they’ve cooked, put a colander in the sink and CAREFULLY pour the

boiling water and ravioli into it. Let the water drain through the colander,

and put the pot back on one of the unused burners on the stove.

4. Take your colander of ravioli and put it back into the pot, and then quick-

ly pour a liberal amount of your tomato sauce into the pot over the ravioli.

Mix with a spoon as necessary, and then add as much cheese as you want.

5. Enjoy a bowl of Italy’s finest - well, almost!

Seeing as how Rossini and Paganini were friends, perhaps they had evenings of cooking together – an enticing notion to be sure, but alas,

improbable. Paganini’s recipe is not for the faint of heart, however. Apologies to the vegetarians -- it’s unproven as of yet whether tofu

can adequately substitute for an entire calf’s brain. Don’t feel like searching for borage at Shaw’s? Intimidated by the idea of eating a calf’s

brain? If you’re not prepared to head up to the eighth floor of the Residence Hall or go home to your apartment and try out that recipe,

don’t despair! We’ve got our own masterful recipe for Ravioli. Ready to get started?

Yours will look just like this, we guarantee it.

The NEC Team & Senior Year

THE FAMILY ON STAGE

For those of you returning to Boston and NEC, welcome back!

And for those who are starting their first year, welcome to the

team!

Last year, I remember sitting in Jordan Hall with the pipe organ

towering above and being surrounded by a sea of students

before convocation. People were smiling and the laughter

echoed all around making it so contagious my face started to

hurt. The faculty and staff appear on stage one by one creating

a tidal wave of cheering and hollering in the audience. I knew

then this wasn’t any ordinary school.

A special part of NEC is the community. Faculty, staff, students

and alumni come together creating what feels like a giant

basketball team. The ball is generously passed around. Each time

it’s touched brings a new perspective and opportunity to take

the shot. Passion drives this operation and we perform freely

from a supported belief in one another. You sink a three pointer,

“Woohoo! Nice shot!” You miss an easy layup, “No worries.

Keeping on going!” We are hear for each other in pursuit of our

dreams and that’s what makes us stronger.

Wherever we go, we’re not alone. When we walk out on stage

for an audition or into an office for a job interview, following are

hundreds of people from the NEC community that have given us

the support to grow into who we are as people and musicians.

This is our team, saying “Go for it! Take the risk!”

Our branches reach out far and wide, connecting us to

communities which are connected to other communities that

connect us to society and so on which ultimately connects us to

the world. The ability to have an impact is a lot greater than we

usually believe. But the NEC community has helped me realize

this potential and it all starts right here and now.

Thank you to the NEC community for opening up my eyes to

what is possible and deepening my love for music. I hope you’ve

all had a wonderful summer and here’s to a great school year!

Another year full of excitement is budding here at NEC. For

me, this year is unlike any other...It’s my senior year! I honestly

thought that this day would never come - that it would be

forever before I would have to face the idea of moving on from

NEC - my home, my musical family. But it hasn’t been forever - in

fact, the years have flown by faster than I could ever imagine and

now, reality is looking me right in the eyes. In these past three

years, I have learned so much and not even just about music, but

about myself.

Attending NEC has been such an overwhelmingly positive

experience in my life and I know that I will always be so grateful

for the teachers and students that I have had the honor of

working with. I am disciplined in my craft, I am confident in my

skills and I feel that even though I may be nervous about the

future, I am ready for whatever life has in store for me, all thanks

to NEC. For right now though, I am going to focus on beginning

another great year at the best school on Earth! Whether you are

just starting out at NEC or you’re looking to the future like me,

let’s make it our goal to make this the best year at NEC possible.

Live long and prosper, Penguins!

6 AUGUST 29, 2015

PROBLEM-SOLVEThis is probably the most important one, so listen up. You can use all the fancy metronome apps you want, but you still have to get to

the root of a problem and take it apart. Spending half an hour working up an excerpt from quarter note = 7 is not as valuable as spend-

ing some time actually trying to figure out the reason you still keep cracking that F-sharp one in every five otherwise-flawless attempts.

Don’t just wood-shed, problem-solve.

GO BACK TO THE SCOREYou know that Berlioz excerpt cold, right? The notes are memorized, and you can probably make an accurate copy of the part without

looking at the original. But, have you checked out the score recently? When a piece is stale, put your part back into context. Look for

clues in the other parts, and look at the architecture of an entire piece to see how your part fits in. Utilize your solfége and Tonal Practice

knowledge to analyze the harmonic underpinning.

EXPERIMENT, EXPERIMENT, EXPERIMENT!College really is the time to try new things. Try that ridiculous-sounding exercise you heard someone talk about in a master class. Play

the excerpt so slowly it is not recognizable as music anymore. Change the printed rhythms to trick your brain into playing a passage

cleanly. Exaggerate whatever you’re doing dynamically to the point where your neighbor can clearly hear your musical intentions. In

addition, try experimenting with recording yourself, not with a Zoom recorder, just an iPhone. You’d be surprised what you hear.

USE A JOURNALJournaling can be one of the single most effective strategies for organizing oneself during practice. Whether you schedule your practice

time down to the minute or sketch out a rough agenda, you will be more focused if your plans are on paper. When something suddenly

clicks during practice, you can write down your thought process if you have a journal handy. Even if you simply jot down a couple of

goals for the session, a journal can be a valuable tool.

It’s a brand-new school year, which means it’s time to return from

vacation-mode and get back to the daily grind of practicing.

Slogging through etudes, working up a laundry list of excerpts,

fighting through long tones and scales—hard work, but someone’s

gotta do it. This year, instead of chipping away at the oak tree of

improvement with the same rusty axe, use this period in Septem-

ber to incorporate some new tools into your arsenal. Here are a

few suggestions to liven things up for that magical moment when

a room is finally vacated on the third floor of Jordan Hall. Bottom

line: use the beginning of the year as a chance to renew and refresh

your approach to the age-old problem of skill acquisition in mu-

sic. Try journaling, score-studying, problem-solving (instead of

wood-shedding), and experimenting to make sure your practicing

stays focused and fresh. If you look at the same problems from a

new perspective and utilize new techniques, you can really acceler-

ate your growth as a musician. Remember, not all of these ideas will

work for everyone, and you should feel comfortable adding your

own creative ideas to the mix. If you have any suggestions for your

own Practice Room Tips, let us at The Penguin know!

TAKE A LOOK AT HOW WE SPENT OUR SUMMERThe SLPC Rises From the Ashes by SUZANNE HEGLAND

Dean and Faculty Editor

Say Goodbye To The Annex! Many returning students will have fond memories of our beloved Annex, a much-loved rehearsal space. Home to the former St B 113, the Annex had a storied past as the original outdoor schoolroom for the Cotting School (1904-1988), which until 1974 was known as The Industrial School for Crippled and Deformed Children (doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, does it?) But change is GOOD! After a lovely sendoff and careful dismantling of the historic weathervane, the annex was destroyed to make way for our long-awaited Student Life and Performing Center. A mixed-use 252 bed student life complex, the SLPC will house an expanded dining commons, a state-of-the-art library, an Opera Studio, an orchestra and large ensemble rehearsal space, and a black box theatre.

Wait, Where Are We Going to Park?In the meantime, the former parking lot is a hot bed of activity – AND it’s a perfect opportunity for students living on the east side of the building to procrastinate. Can’t find the motivation to write that paper or practice that movement? Just look out your window, there’s ALWAYS something happening! (Warning: The Penguin does not endorse active participation in Procrastionation)

10 AUGUST 29, 2015

Going Up!See that big concrete column? Well, it’s called a “pile.” That baby is a 14”x14” support beam that will eventually hold up the foundation of our fabulous new space. Our friends at Tishman Construction drove 160 of these through layers of gravel, organics, clay, silt, and sand, reaching down to 135 feet below what you can see from the sidewalk.

Looking Toward The FutureAny day now (well, okay…Fall 2017), this beauty will join our acoustic gem and national historic landmark Jordan Hall, upholding our tradition as one of the leading conservatories in the world. In the meantime though, we can’t wait to share this experience with all of you. We’ll keep you updated on the SLPC’s progress right up until the very end with interviews, pictures, stories and more. Stay tuned as we make our corner of Boston that much more unique!

A Helpful Hand!Some piles were tougher to drive then others. Luckily, when all else failed, our Director of Facilities and Public Safety, Mike Ryan, was always willing to lend a helping hand.

ONE OF SPAULDING LIBRARY’S MANY LOCATIONS TO STUDY

Whether you are an incoming freshman or a third-year DMA student, the NEC Libraries welcomes you. Although many students think of Spaulding as the place to go to in order to print scores and parts from IMSLP, both the Spaulding and Firestone Libraries have much more to offer.

In the Spaulding Library (in the Residence Hall) you will find one of

the largest collections of scores, books on music, and music-related

magazines in the country, as well as photocopiers, scanners, printers,

and computers with Microsoft Office. Interested in the news? Maybe a

recent Arts article in the New York Times? Spaulding Library can give

you help with the online magazines, books, newspapers (including

the Boston Globe and New York Times), and online research materials

(Grove, Jazz Discography, IPA Source, etc.) that are available both on

and off campus. Want a book that we don’t have on campus? Not a

problem; we can assist with borrowing books at many nearby libraries,

including our neighbors at Northeastern University. But if you just

need somewhere to go after a long day to relax, study, or even take

a nap, we’ve got you covered. Comfortable sofas are available your

napping pleasure, and our central study area is equipped with high-

speed WIFI to help you study faster and work more efficiently. A

Seminar Room (on the balcony) is available at any time for when quiet

and serious concentration is necessary. And we always have supplies

and office tools available for use like staplers, three-hole punchers,

scissors, and more! At Spaulding, we also host an annual book sale

where you can buy books, music, CDs and DVDs at affordable prices

(read: nearly free).

The next time you visit Spaulding, please ask about the NEC Archives.

The Archives serve as the official repository for information and

records generated by, for, and about NEC. It seeks to document the

history, activities, and contributions of the Conservatory since its

founding in 1867. The collection consists of NEC yearbooks, catalogs,

publications, concert programs, theses, administrative records, alumni

and faculty papers, student organization records, and photographs.

Along with the Archives, the NEC Special Collections include music

manuscripts and first editions from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries,

in particular, the works of the Boston area composers active in the

late 19th and early 20th centuries. Among these composers were

members of the “Second New England School,” including George W.

Chadwick, Amy Beach, Arthur Foote, and Horatio Parker. The Special

Collections also contains Rare Books and Treatises, published 1700-

1900; Rare Music Scores, published 1602-1900; 19th Century American

Tune-books; and music manuscripts of several other composers.

Firestone Library, below Jordan Hall, is our dedicated listening library,

where you’ll find thousands upon thousands of recordings to feast

your ears on. We have CDs, DVDs, Vinyl, as well as Naxos Variations

(NEC’s streaming software). WIFI is available here too with plenty of

space to relax. Our group listening rooms have comfortable sofas, and

plenty of room to kick back to your favorite piece. We at the Library

cordially invite you to visit the NEC Libraries, and welcome to our

amazing community of musicians.
