Thoughts from the President • Around the State • The Power of Music
Thoughts from the President
“We need to be concerned about our plumbers
as well as our philosophers, otherwise neither our
pipes nor our theories will hold water.”
– John W. Gardner

There is an abundance of information available to each
of us and many ways to obtain that information. I believe
that a critical source of valuable information is to heed the
words of others who have taken the time and made the
effort to articulate some rather pragmatic thoughts in a
concise fashion.
“The Power
of Music”
online at cim.edu.
I discussed the importance of careful listening in a previous
column. So it is that certain kinds of reading must be considered an important form of listening and therefore should be
done with care. From my reading, I have extracted a good
many “Quotable” quotes from some great minds (and from
some less great minds!) which I have found useful as guideposts over the years. I would like to share a few of them
with you.
“Common sense is not so common.” “The enemy of
best is good. If we erase our dreams, we disappear.”
Did you read each of the above statements carefully? They’re powerful, wouldn’t you say?
We have all heard that it is important to hear both sides of an argument, but when it is
articulated in a pithy statement such as the following, it can take on new importance –
“Ain’t no pancake so thin that it don’t have two sides.”

Charity Navigator • The Cleveland Foundation
Charity Navigator Gives CIM Highest Rating
CIM has received the highest rating from Charity Navigator, America’s
premier evaluator of charities, for sound fiscal management. Two factors
are considered during the rating process: industry standards and actual
performance.
According to Charity Navigator Executive Director Trent Stamp, “Less
than a quarter of the charities we’ve rated have received our highest
rating, indicating that the Cleveland Institute of Music outperforms most
charities in America in its efforts to operate in the most fiscally responsible way possible. This ‘exceptional’ rating from Charity Navigator
differentiates the Cleveland Institute of Music from its peers and proves
that it’s worthy of the public’s trust.”

Campaign Attainment
Nears 90 Percent!
A new and different song is heard in the air
now around the Cleveland Institute of Music –
the sound of construction! As students, faculty
and concertgoers maneuver around the construction site each day, progress continues on
the expansion and the $40 million Campaign.
Trustees are working hard to meet the September 1, 2006 deadline for our $1.25 million
Kresge Challenge Grant.
We are pleased to announce The Campaign for
CIM has reached nearly 90 percent of its goal,
with $35.9 million in gifts and pledges, representing an increase of $5.7 million since December 2004. $4.1 million remains to be raised over
the next nine months in order to meet the
Kresge Challenge. Members of the community
are encouraged to pledge their support now, so
that CIM can continue enriching the quality of
life in our community and throughout northeast Ohio for generations to come.
The Cleveland Foundation
to Name North Entry Plaza
CIM is pleased to recognize The Cleveland
Foundation’s generous participation in The
Campaign for CIM by naming the North Entry
Plaza in honor of the Foundation. As the
entrance to the Fred A. Lennon Education
Building, the North Entry Plaza will be one of
the most popular and heavily visited areas in
the new facility.
A recent $50,000 grant to The Campaign for
CIM from The Cleveland Foundation brings the
Foundation’s total Campaign commitment to
$350,000. A $300,000 grant in April 2002 was
designated to the design phase of the Campaign, helping to support the work of architects, engineers and acousticians during the
early stages of the expansion project. This
award represents the largest single commitment
CIM has ever received from The Cleveland
Foundation.
CIM Alumna Honors Parents
Susan Bunsey Allen (B.M., 1980, horn), student of Albert Schmitter, in
her 20th year as principal horn of the Suburban Symphony Orchestra,
credits her parents for her successful musical career, saying “They put
me through school and they still attend every concert. They’re my biggest
fans!” That is why Susan and her husband Tom have chosen to make
a gift to The Campaign for CIM in honor of Robert and Agnes Bunsey.
Susan has given back to her alma mater in numerous ways in addition
to her support of CIM’s expansion project, including contributions to the
Institute’s Annual Fund beginning the year after she graduated and
a term on the Alumni Association Board.
Since 1988, The Cleveland Foundation has
granted nearly $1,000,000 to CIM for various
programs including master classes, the Distance
Learning Program, faculty support and The
Campaign for CIM.

The Annual CIM Golf Invitational is held in the early fall.
The event raises funds for the CIM Annual Fund as well
as providing a lovely day of golf and camaraderie.
Faculty, students, alumni, board members and donors
participate and compete for prizes and the coveted
Champions trophy (pictured with 2005 winner Marshall

Nancy Patrick Ward to Name
the New Audio Recording Center
In honor of her late husband, Cecil K. “Pat”
Patrick, co-founder of WCLV, Nancy Patrick
Ward has made a significant gift to The Campaign for CIM. Nancy joined WCLV in the early
1960s, shortly after “Pat” Patrick and Robert
Conrad created WCLV as a fledgling FM radio
station with a classical music format. This was in
the days when FM was considered, by many, a
novelty, and when few owned FM radios. Nancy
served as WCLV’s business manager for the next
27 years, marrying “Pat” Patrick in 1978, and
Nancy Patrick Ward
helped to nurture WCLV through many years of
exciting growth.
Nancy fondly recalls
the day in 1986 when
Pat received his
honorary doctorate
from CIM in recognition of his many years
of advocacy for CIM
and classical music.
Now, in recognition of
her support, CIM is
pleased to name the
C.K. “Pat” and Nancy
Patrick Audio Recording Center in the new

On September 24 the Friends of CIM presented In Tribute to New Orleans,
an outstanding benefit at the Hermit Club. Planned long before the
tragedy of Hurricane Katrina devastated the area, the party turned into a
tribute to the culture of the Delta South and the fortitude of the people
of that region. Chaired by Debi Thomas and Sue Knirsch, the event
offered a great opportunity for guests to see a glimpse at not only the
classical training CIM students receive, but also put a spotlight on their
alter egos and hidden talents. Coordinated by Marshall Griffith, the
students stole the show as they danced, fiddled, sang and generally
entertained the 75 partygoers. Cocktails, a silent auction and dancing to
the local Zydeco band Cats on Holiday made for a wonderful evening.
Jean Koznarek, president of the Friends, was happy to report that more
than $7,000 was raised for CIM’s Young Artist Program, and that a
percentage of the income from the silent auction was sent to the Gulf
Coast Orchestra Relief Fund set up to aid musicians affected by the storm.

CIM Responds to Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort
Practically everyone in the country knows someone who was affected by Hurricane Katrina –
either directly or through family and friends. This disaster reminds us how lucky we are and
how important it is to reach out to others in need. CIM has current students, faculty, staff and
alumni who have been directly impacted by this catastrophe. Not only did the Friends of CIM
direct a portion of the their silent auction proceeds to support hurricane relief, but the
CIM Library decided to send all of the funds raised from its annual sale to help with the
effort. Typically this sale generates funds for the purchase of CDs and other materials for the
CIM Library. This year’s sale raised $2,375. The library funds and the contribution from the
Friends of CIM were sent to the Gulf Coast Orchestra Relief Fund set up by the American
Symphony Orchestra League specifically to support musicians in orchestras such as the
Louisiana Philharmonic, the Gulf Coast Symphony in Biloxi, the Meridian Symphony and the
Greater New Orleans Youth Orchestras.
Librarian Jean Toombs summed up the generosity of those at the sale by recounting a story of
one young shopper. Toward the end of the sale a teenager came to the checkout table with a
few minor, inexpensive purchases. When told that change from her $20 bill was coming, she
said, “Oh no, keep the change. This is a very worthy cause!”
Thanks to all who supported CIM’s response to the storm and its aftermath.

its accents and tempo,
reminded me of
nothing so much as
speech, of a human
voice with all its
vulnerabilities –
sometimes halting,
sometimes eloquent.”
(Peoria Journal Star);
“The 30-year-old
pianist has energy
flowing from his
entire body, particularly his hands and
arms. In the first and
third movements he
chose tempos that
propelled the evening

Cello Again • Music Theory
Cello Again
When you’re studying cello at CIM, having a cello is, well,
instrumental to your studies. So when Josue Gonzalez,
freshman student of Richard Aaron, arrived at CIM without
his cello, he was at a bit of a disadvantage. His instrument
had been stolen shortly before his arrival, when he left it
overnight in the dorm lobby at Interlochen Arts Academy.
Though he posted signs and contacted police, his cello was
not located.
Rachel Kaplan was a camp counselor at Interlochen. Her
mother, Linda Kaplan, M.D., was visiting from Hallandale
Beach, Florida when they spotted Josue’s sign. When Dr.
Kaplan returned home, she contacted a friend, Michael
Bassichis, chair of the Broward County, Florida Arts Advocacy
Committee. Mr. Bassichis, a musician who formerly lived in
Cleveland, imports musical instruments through his company,
M&M Instruments (www.tubamm.com). Mr. Bassichis’
associate Joe Reichgott is a professor of music at Miami Dade
College, North Campus, as well as a former bassist with the
Florida Philharmonic Orchestra. He is also a well-known
string repairman in South Florida.
Dr. Kaplan called Interlochen and was told that Josue had
left for CIM. She was delighted to hear that news, as she is a
Case alumnus (departments of surgery and ophthalmology).
Dr. Kaplan contacted Josue to let him know that M&M
Instruments had graciously offered to provide three cellos
for him to audition, and to give him his selection.
Catherine Clyatt, student
of Alison Wells, experienced
cello charity in a slightly
different way. In a German
class at Case in 2004, the
topic of things you cannot
afford was raised. Catherine
mentioned a cello. The next
day another student told her
that she and her husband
wanted to sponsor
Catherine’s cello purchase.
They had decided that they
wanted to help a young,
aspiring artist and wanted
their gift to go directly to
Clyatt
her. In the end, Catherine’s
sponsor paid for more than
half of her instrument. Due to a very busy schedule,
Catherine’s sponsor has yet to see the instrument or come to
hear her play. Talk about a gift with no strings attached!

Music Theory
Nelson
CIM believes that intensive instruction in music theory
helps to create more complete performers. By receiving
meticulous training in musicianship and in the analytical
study of music, students will have a thorough understanding of the music they will be performing. CIM’s
music theory department involves almost all CIM students
in its course offerings.
In Volume 42 (2002) of College Music Symposium, the
journal of the College Music Society, theory faculty
member Richard Nelson’s article “The College Music
Society Music Theory Undergraduate Core Curriculum
Survey – 2000” was published. Below is an excerpt (visit
cim.edu to read the full article, or call 216-791-5000, ext.
225 for a hard copy):
“As we all know, one person’s element of concern might
be another’s point of security. Realizing therefore that
many persons could disagree with some or all of the
dilemmas listed below, a few aspects of the Survey will be
mentioned which may seem troubling with regard to
music theory instruction. At the very least, these issues
might serve as topics for continued conversation among
theorists, administrators, and other faculty ...
[One] area of concern is the declining amount of instruction in counterpoint. Long considered to be one of the
fundamental aspects of tutelage for musicians, this realm
now seems to receive less emphasis than such topics as
form and analysis and twentieth-century music. This
trend has been borne out in the Survey and also anecdotally in two ways to me recently. First, as part of our
entrance examinations for prospective graduate students,
an increasing number each year state that they have not
had a course in tonal (eighteenth-century) counterpoint
on the undergraduate level. Secondly, the eighteenthcentury counterpoint textbook which we have used for
years is now out of print. The publisher’s representative
(Schirmer Books) has stated that there simply was no
longer enough of a demand for this text to remain
viable. As frightening as this decline of tonal counterpoint might be, it is even more so for modal, or sixteenth-century counterpoint. Aside from being required
for theory and/or composition majors, this field is now
almost unknown to today’s young musician.
This concern with the shrinking number of counterpoint
courses leads to another worry, namely, the predilection
for the two-year basic theory sequence to cover all
aspects of theoretical discourse. It is not unusual, as
the Survey suggests, for the two years to include not
only fundamentals, harmony, sight singing, aural training, and keyboard harmony, but also whatever instruction a department or school might provide in terms of
form and analysis, counterpoint, and twentieth-century
music. Clearly, this trend, as justifiable as it may seem
to some, does not provide the student with the best
environment to learn all of these complex and timedependent realms.”

MTV Gets Into the Game at CIM
Have you heard of the Video Game Pianist?
Well, in case you’re not among the 40 million
who have downloaded his video, you should
know that he is a piano phenom who posted a
wildly popular video of himself playing
Nintendo’s Super Mario tunes online
(www.videogamepianist.com).
Have you heard of Martin Leung? He’s a piano
student of Paul Schenly whose alter ego’s video
caught the attention of Tommy Tallarico, one of
the world’s most successful video game composers. Tallarico invited Martin to the Game
Developers Conference in San Francisco to
perform at the Walk of GAME and Game Audio
Network Guild (G.A.N.G.) awards ceremonies. In
July he performed at “Video Games Live” at the
Hollywood Bowl, in front of 11,000 people.
Herter and Leung
Martin went on to perform at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3),
where MTV got into the game by profiling him in the “Obsessed” video
games area of MTV.com. This past October, MTV producer Ilse Fernandez
and host Blair Herter traveled to Cleveland to interview Martin for MTV
Overdrive (the network’s online broadband video channel). See photos
from the shoot here.
Check out Martin’s interview at the “games” area of MTV Overdrive.
Practice Makes More Than Perfect
In October CIM initiated a special Practice-a-thon for all the students in the
Preparatory and Continuing Education Division. The goal was to strengthen
practice habits and to raise funds for CIM’s expansion project. Students
collected pledges for the number of minutes they would practice in the
month. The results are a wonderful statement about the dedication of
CIM’s students and teachers. More than 150 students participated from
32 teaching studios, practicing at total of 126,479 minutes! Collectively,
they raised $8,014.44. In honor of this outstanding contribution, a full-sized
Paver on the walkway to the Lennon Education Building will be inscribed
“Students and Families of the CIM Preparatory and Continuing Education
Division.” The remainder of the funds will be designated for landscaping in
our new Gilliam Family Music Garden that will be seen from inside the new
Mixon Hall.
Several teachers and participants commented on the positive benefits of
a project like this, including this exchange between two students and their
dad: “The Practice-a-thon encouraged me to practice more minutes than
I normally would practice.” - Sarah and Rebecca Friedberg, violin students
in the Sato Center for Suzuki Studies; “My daughters made faster improvements being involved in the Practice-a-thon. They were practicing more
and had incentive to keep going.” - Howard Friedberg, father of Sarah
& Rebecca
Some studios had exceptional results that deserve a special mention.
Judson Billings’ piano studio raised more than $1,400 and Joseph Juhos’
flute studio raised more than $1,200. Together, their students practiced
44,605 minutes. The program was divided into three divisions based on age.
While everyone who participated is a winner in our eyes, prize recipients by
division were:
Ages 3-6 • JaiJai Shen, Grace Lu, Claire Deng and Erika Lee, all piano
students of Judson Billings
Age 7-12 • Arianna Korting and Tammy Gu, piano students of Gerardo
Teissonnière; Matthew Vaughn, violin student of David Russell; Abigail
Johnson, Suzuki violin student of Kimberly Meier-Sims and Roger Zou,
piano student of Sean Schulze
Age 13-adult • Megan Beus, piano student of Gerardo Teissonnière;
Alex Henning, horn student of Robert Rearden and Caitlin Phillips,
piano student of Sean Schulze
Many thanks to prize donors who included: The Plain Dealer, Kalahari
Water Park, Great Lakes Science Center Omnimax Theater, The Cleveland
Orchestra and Hybrid Marketing.
Now, everyone – keep up the good work!

for 2004. The award was
presented to Ms. Kelly at the

and Suzuki violin faculties at
CIM. Dr. Sims performed

performed the violin solo of
Beethoven’s “Triple” Concerto, Op. 56 in C Major,
while Ms. Mautner-Rodgers
performed the cello solo.
Martin Cuéllar gave the

Diane Slone, Preparatory
violin and Suzuki violin
faculty member, received the
Byron Hester Outstanding
Teacher Award at the 2005
Colorado Suzuki Institute.
This award includes a
student scholarship for the
2006 institute, as well as use
of a Joseph Nagyvary violin

Gerardo Teissonnière began playing the piano at the age of 6 in his native Ponce, Puerto
Rico. When he came to study in the U.S. during college, he chose CIM so he could study with
“one of the Steinway immortals,” Vitya Vronsky Babin. Mrs. Babin was a great and nurturing
teacher, and Teissonnière was also pleasantly surprised to learn of CIM’s close association
with The Cleveland Orchestra, one of the greatest orchestras in the world. Now a member of
the CIM faculty, Teissonnière sees his teaching as a great way to pass on Mrs. Babin’s legacy.
Since his students are younger, his approach is slightly different, but the standards remain
the same. As long as his students possess a great love of music, he knows that they will find
the determination and persistence to succeed. Each time he sees one of his students playing
with an orchestra, it brings him to tears of happiness. Every performance is the culmination
of a lot of hard work and a continuation of the legacy of his great teacher.
Some of the recent accomplishments of Teissonnière’s students bear witness to this:
Jianni Wu was one of the four winners in the most recent Lakeland Civic Orchestra
Concerto Competition and will perform the first movement of Beethoven’s third
concerto in March.
Former students Katrina Bobbs and Joyce Oh earned engagements with The
Cleveland Orchestra.
Former student Joseph Petros, now a sophomore at Notre Dame University, was
one of three students selected to perform in a master class for Leon Fleisher in
September.
In October, at the invitation of the Paderewski School of Music in Tarnów, Poland,
Teissonnière and his student Konrad Binienda (who is Polish) performed a joint
recital on the 156th anniversary of composer Frederick Chopin’s death. In this
program, Teissonnière included one of the Mozart sonatas he will play January 15 at
CIM (see concert listings for more information about this all-Mozart program,
celebrating the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth).

CIM Hosts Videoconference Connections
for Ohio Military Families
Captain
Marc Arnold
communicates
with his family
The Cleveland Institute of Music has partnered with the Freedom Calls
Foundation to support Ohio families and their loved ones in Iraq with
private videoconference connections. CIM’s Distance Learning department hosted two sessions during the fall semester, the first time a music
conservatory has worked with Freedom Calls to connect families and
deployed loved ones. CIM expects to continue the activity throughout the
2006 spring semester.
The sessions took place on November 12 (Veterans Day weekend) and on
December 17 (holiday session). Each time, CIM provided special musical
performances, followed by individual sessions for families to visit with
their military loved ones.
Distance Learning Director Mark George says that CIM is proud to make
its videoconferencing facilities available for military families and their
loved ones abroad. “At its best, the musical art can inspire, stimulate and
comfort humanity. Performing for those serving in the military and their
families is indeed a great honor.”
For information on future sessions, call Dr. George at 216-795-3177, email
mark.george@case.edu or visit cim.edu to access an online sign-up form.

Opera Theater’s spring production
will be a double bill: “The Impresario” will be presented in celebration
of Mozart’s 250th birthday. Paired
with this one-act comedy will be a
lesser-known work by Mozart’s
Amadeus nemesis Salieri, “First the
Music, Then the Words.” These
dueling composers were asked to
create works for the same occasion
on the same subject – the challenge
of mounting an opera with competing divas! On Thursday morning, the
opera will be presented to middleschool and high-school students.

Amadeus
Revisited
When Elvis Presley died at age 42, a cynic commented: “Good career move.”
The same might be said of Mozart’s passing at age 35. The touching tale of his life
kept the world aware of him until his music became fully appreciated.
For composer Antonio Salieri, living to almost 75 was a monumentally “bad career
move.” His style had been superseded by the Romantics, including his students
Beethoven, Liszt, and Schubert. German nationalists insisted that this “Italian
import” was a mediocrity, in contrast with the German Mozart. Rumors that Salieri
had poisoned Mozart would be immortalized by Pushkin.
Mozart
Today, Salieri’s work is being heard with fresh ears. Several of his more than
40 operas have been recorded. Cecilia Bartoli’s “The Salieri Album” is a best-seller.
You can even take an online music quiz to see if you can distinguish between
Salieri and Mozart (http://reverent.org/mozart_or_salieri.html).
CIM audiences will have live performances to compare when we present a
one-act comedy by each composer on Wednesday, March 1 at 8:00 p.m.;
Thursday, March 2 at 10:00 a.m. (school show); Friday, March 3 at 8:00 p.m.
and Saturday, March 4 at 8:00 p.m. The operas were commissioned by Emperor
Joseph II for a unique dinner party, presumably to demonstrate with
