The acronym for New England Conservatory, a music school in Boston.

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 title: "Mannes College The New School for Music"

Music is a sound in which people can listen to in order to feel good about something or change their mood. Plese, do not call rap "crap". Yes, I Indeed agree that 50 Cent and Chingy are some of the most talentless people in the history of mankind but keep an open mind to the underground and old school "B-Boy" aspects of hip-hop. Yes, around 1998 is the time at which hip-hop turned for the worst. Also, hip-hop artists such as shiffai and wa gubla of senegal are extremely talented, do not judge a genre of musice solely on the shit that you are exposed to.

Awesome rock and roll band from the awesome old days when music ruled.He sold out in the 80's and made shitty heavy metal but we'll forgive him because he used to fucking rock.

High school in San Jose. Kick-ass nationally known music program. Everything else...not so great. ok test scores. Course offerings suck compared to nearby schools. Only seems to care about preparing students for community college, so the smart kids don't know how to get into a competitive college. White, hispanic, and asian. Occasional geniuses, retards that think they're smart, and retards that don't think.

Many graduates become music majors, or at least the ones that do go to college.

A devoted fan of the southern, blues, rock and rhythm band Widespread Panic. This flip-flop wearing person typically grasps the exemplary sound and contagious vibe of good energy promoted, sought after and achieved by the players in the band. Although many fans come off as dopers who have only passion in life - the Panic - they are a diverse group of music lovers out to have a blow-out good time and leave with memories of living it up right.

Regardless of their attire, language and private lives, when a spreadhead goes to a Panic show, he or she becomes one of many and reveres the warmth of anonymity and unquestioned unity. Often a spreadhead will perform worship rituals and close his or her eyes while swaying to and fro.
