New Year, New Editor, New Building, New England Conservatory! 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 Allessandra Cionco - Director of Student Life Q: 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!
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.
Daniel Hersog - GA, Student Activites Q: 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 pieces. The students that play in it are fabulous, and you really get to enjoy your work that way.

RES-LIFE STAFF! Davey Harrison - GA, Health and Wellness Q: 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 Floor Q: 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 nervous 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 differnet. 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 Floor Q: 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!

penguin RECIPES For the master...
Composers in the Kitchen
by SARAH ATWOOD 2nd Year - MM Violin
TASTY VARIATIONS ON A THEME BY PAGANINI
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 Ravioli Ravioli 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

Finally add some finely chopped and pounded dried mushrooms, and that’s the meat sauce.

penguin RECIPES ...and for the novice
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
by ALEX STENING & ELIZABETH WENDT 4th Year - BM French Horn / Voice
WELCOMING MANY AND SAYING GOOD BYE TO OTHERS
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!

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 music. Try journaling, score-studying, problem-solving (instead of
USE A JOURNAL Journaling 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.
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.
GO BACK TO THE SCORE You 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.
PROBLEM-SOLVE This 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 spending 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.

The SLPC Rises From the Ashes TAKE A LOOK AT HOW WE SPENT OUR SUMMER
by SUZANNE HEGLAND Dean and Faculty Editor
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)
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.

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.
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.
Looking Toward The Future Any 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!
