Be Very Afraid: The Penguin’s Halloween Issue Has Arrived As The Penguin dons its costume and takes up his axe, we would like to wish all of our readers a very happy October! I doubt many people can really believe that one month of school has already passed - I certainly can’t. But as we move at full speed into the rest of the school year, the world around us is changing: Leaves are changing color, the air is getting cooler, and there’s the unmistakable smell of ‘Pumpkin Spice’ emanating from Starbucks (whatever that means, anyway). Yes! Fall is upon us, and yes: it’s going to get much, much colder. But before it does, we get to enjoy all of the seasonal delightsthat Fall has in store for us in New England. So we’re going to grab our sweaters, our
pumpkin spice lattes, and plunge right into another fantastic issue. Elizabeth Wendt’s going to share a fantastic trio of recipes for Halloween, Julian Pozniak makes his Penguin debut with an article about new music, Alex Stening chronicals some of his adventures in and out of the practice room, and I dive into an issue that seems aptly timed, given recent events: Public Safety. And as always, please let us know if you’re interested in joining this fantastic team of writers, photographers and artists. We’d love to have you.

MEET THE 2015-16 Maura Shawn Scanlin - RA, Fourth Floor - Classical Violin Q: What is your major like at NEC? What’s one thing you’d like other students to know about it? A: The best thing about the program for me is weekly (sometimes bi-weekly) lessons with my incredible teacher Lucy Chapman. Our studio is quite like a family, everyone is super supportive and encouraging. It’s a really great learning environment. Studio classes each week are great because you never really know what will happen: it might be a full two hours of performances and critiques, it might be sight-reading, or it might be learning a fiddle tune. Another thing I really love about the classical department is the chamber music program. It enables us to work with incredible faculty outside of our studio teacher, which is a great attribute as well. Q: What are your favorite places on and off campus? A: Favorite place on campus is probably one of the libraries, they’re great. Favorite places off campus are the MFA, the North End, the Arboretum, Jamaica Pond, and the Mass. Ave bridge (the view is so beautiful). Q: Tea or Coffee? A: Tea OR Coffee?...BOTH!!
Thomas Burrill - RA, Second Floor - Classical Piano Q: What is your Major like at NEC? What’s one thing you’d like other students to know about it? A: Hmm, that we do like to hangout with people! And we do like to speak to people! We love to spend time doing stuff, having fun, it’s just that we don’t always have the time to do it - it’s definitely not a personal thing, there’s always just a big work load as a pianist. It’s inevitable that we’ll have, you know, so many opportunities to learn repertoire and collaborate with people that it can get very overwhelming; you spend too much time buried in your work. Q: What was one thing you wish you knew about Boston as a freshman? A: That’s a hard question - because I still don’t know a lot about it. It’s such a big, yet small city...with such a rich history. But one thing I wish I knew was how close things were. You don’t have to take the T all the time - just walk around and explore.

Frank John - RA, Third Floor - Classical Tuba Q: What is your Major like at NEC? What’s Unique about it? A: Thunderdome. Q: Can you tell me about that? A: It’s top secret. (sort of kidding, but not kidding at the same time). First off, I love it at NEC - it’s awesome to study here. Thunderdome all about technique - a fundamental thing. The daily routine is flexibility, articulation, range...and [Mike Roylance] teaches that religiously. And I do that every single day. Q: What have you enjoyed so far about being an RA? A: It’s the relationship I have with the people on my floor. I mean, it’s a great group of residents - they’re always so kind, mature and respectful, and I really appreciate how nice they are! So I love the fact that I get to know them; with how sincere they are toward each other, I’m inspired by them to be even better than I am. Q: What is something you wish you knew as a freshman in Boston? A: Honestly? Don’t practice so long, so often. I ended up hurting myself, but either way, I would have taken advantage of the resources in Boston, went to explore the city, and you need to be able to feed off your experiences to fuel your music making.
Alice Chenyang Xu - RA, Sixth Floor - Classical Piano Q: How is a Graduate Diploma different than a Masters or Bachelor Degree program? A: It’s performance based whereas a master degree is based more in academics. We only need to take up to nine credits and I am currently taking two classes. Q: What’s something about your major you’d like others to know about? A: Making a percussion instrument sing like strings or vocalists is an important part of our life-long mission. Q: What’re your favorite places on and off campus? A: I really like the park just across the street from the Mass Ave. Orange Line stop! It’s really peaceful. Anywhere along the Charles is wonderful too. But on campus? Definitely my room.

penguin RECIPES Recipes For A Spooky October

The Battle of the Practice Room
ALEX EXPANDS ON SUCCESSFUL PRACTICING IDEAS WITH THE HELP OF ANOTHER PENGUIN!
by ALEX STENING 4th Year BM French Horn
upgrades their products? In order to do so, we have to ask a lot of questions such as: What would I like to achieve for this practice session? What do I need to improve on the most? Which music needs the most attention? How can I improve my focus? Am I getting enough sleep and eating well? How can I eliminate distractions? A recent optimization in my practice has been journaling, THERE’S GOING TO BE A ROOM AVAILABLE TODAY, RIGHT? HARRISON HONOR PHOTO CRED
Tuesday – 2:43 pm. Arrive at Jordan Hall. “Good afternoon, Todd!” – scan card. Beep! A brisk walk around the bend. Skipping steps up the stairs. Mezzanine. Second floor – flinging doors open. Sounds emerge: Don Juan violin excerpt - Capriccio Espagnol clarinet- John Dowland guitar- music stand in window. No rooms. Quick, to the third floor! Run up stairs and slip through the door. Bossa nova and ride cymbal, opening of Mahler 5, causally laughing brass players, trombone lesson. No rooms. Down to the basement, with haste! Paradiddle paradiddle, Sorcerer’s Apprentice glockenspiel… open door… could it be… ah YES A ROOM!! Getting a practice room between 8:00 am and 9pm feels like winning the lottery. When I find one, I take about 5 seconds and do a happy dance as I enter the room. NEC students are committed musicians and I think this lack-of-practice-room situation is a motivating environment to be in. As much as it is difficult and even frustrating to get a practice room in the middle of the day, it has challenged me to optimize my practicing, and to make the best out of every moment. Our practice sessions are like iPhones. Just when you think it couldn’t get better, Apple comes out with a thinner, faster, and cooler looking phone the very next month, or so it seems. So how can we optimize our practice sessions like Apple

recommended by fellow Penguin writer Nick Tisherman. I find journaling really beneficial. I write down moments in the practice room when things are ‘clicking,’ observing the sensations I’m feeling and technique that I apply that helps me play better. The next practice session, I’ll read what I last wrote and build off that experience, like when you return to a book you haven’t read in a while and read a paragraph before where you stopped to remind yourself of the story. The goal is not to memorize 3 unfamiliar pieces or become a master of a certain technique in an hour. It’s all about small improvements. Small victories get us going, like the good feeling you get when you take 30 seconds to make your bed in the morning (anyone got me on this?). We all are great practicers who use tools our professors are teaching us to practice deeply and efficiently. But there is always room to optimize so that we ensure we leave the precious and elusive practice rooms on the right note.

penguin SPOTLIGHT by Andrew Port
“It was quick - only two or three minutes. I got the call over the radio, ran to the scene...at this point, I saw the Ambulance near by, and after getting their attention, it was all about securing the scene.” These are the words of Jake Scanlon, Boston Special Police Officer, when describing his reaction to the shooting that took place on Tuesday, September 22nd, right across the street from Jordan Hall on Huntington Avenue. At around five o’clock in the afternoon, a man living in a nearby half-way house became the target of a certain individual out for blood. From there, the events happened fast. Several shots were fired, and the assailant escaped north, leaving our neighborhood in short order. The victim, shot three times in the back, survived the assault, but the incident left New England Conservatory and its surrounding community not only shaken, but also at the heart of a police investigation. Our innate fascination with exciting events, particularly police activity, is hard to resist, but that fascination often gives way to a more careful consideration of those events afterward, leading to the inevitable question: Just how safe are we? It’s not an unreasonable question to ask; safety in a major metropolis, particularly on a college campus, is always a concern. It’s doubtful, however, that anyone concerns themself more with matters like this than Mike Ryan, NEC’s Director of Facilities and Public Safety. “It’s what keeps me up at night,” he told The Penguin

Preparation is one thing they do not lack, and the resources they use are top notch as well. “We do a fair amount of training - we discuss possible scenarios and how we’ll respond, and it’s because of that training that Jake reacted the way they did,” Mr. Ryan continued as we began to shift to increasing incidence of active shooters on a school campus. It’s a topic that often has to be discussed, regardless of the truly sickening feelings it brings about - perhaps that’s why, when Mike offered us a small book-mark shaped slip of paper detailing a

Common sense. “The number of students around here who are walking around at two o’clock in the morning, alone - you’re setting yourself up to be a victim,” Ms. Kidd added. Jake chimed in too, saying that staying on the phone with a roommate or friend is a fantastic idea. As for requests going forward, we were provided with a succinct list: 1) Students should contact IT if they don’t receive ENS texts. 2) Download the NEC Crisis app for Android or iPhone.
