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"

Get the Angry Whiteboy Music mug.a music venue in Springdale, arkansas that doubles as a coffee shop. It used to be pontiac dealership, thus the name. Shows are usually deathcore or grindcore, with occasional indie and alternative shows.
The Pontiac Music Hall has a distinctive smell of old books. Its very dirty looking and somewhat messy.
The audience is mostly scene kids and punks. Routine at the PMH is hanging out at in the coffee shop until the show begins, and then going and watching some of the bands in the back room with the stage. Admittance is only $7. Bands usually suck, but it's good fun to dance. The area is very small and there's usually an occasional obnoxious hardcore dancer.
The PMH is the place to be seen if you are scene.
