Mannes College of Music
one of the leading conservatories in the world, known especially for its academic rigor and focus on new music.
the violinist got into juilliard, but got rejected from mannes college of music.
the techniques of music cl-sses at mannes really kicked my -ss…but thankfully now i can sightread 5 staffs at a time.
one of the three main conservatories in new york city, the other being the juilliard school and the manhattan school of music. smaller than its counterparts and criminally underfunded, mannes has earned a reputation for having demanding theory and ear training curricula. while the quality of its students vary from moderate to abhorrently terrible, the kids come out knowing slightly more than the average conservatory student given that the school actually teaches the student something outside their instrument. notable students and graduates include frederica von stade, murray perahia, george rochberg, myung-whun chung, and lara st john, among others.
mannes is currently under the ownership of the new school, a pretentious, poorly administered university system based in lower manhattan that always succeeds at making itself look better than it actually is. fortunately, mannes is one of the more independent schools currently owned by the new school, even if it still has to bear the mark of the university system’s name in its “proper”, verbose t-tle: “mannes college the new school for music”
