The 300s – better known as the Music Building by CSArts students, are safe spaces to learn and perfect music solos, pieces, and auditions. In a previous article, we reported that the practice rooms in the music building were open to all students. However, it has come to our attention that this information was inaccurate. The practice rooms are only available to School of Music (SOM) students.
Director of Instrumental Music, Tyler McGeough explained that due the small quantity of practice rooms in the Music Building and the 225 students in SOM, the rooms are restricted to other conservatories to ensure that students have the opportunity to practice. McGeough did say that they would love to have more space available for all students, but for now the practice rooms remain for music students only. Mr. McGeough said that if Non-SOM students wanted to use the practice rooms, they would first have to talk to him.
“The student must first come talk to me in the music center office during lunch or office hours, then they must have their conservatory director send an email to me, confirming that they approve and trust the student to use a practice room.”
After that is approved, students who aren’t in SOM are allowed to use the practice rooms after Block 8 only, as long as there is an available room. You are unable to reserve a room during lunch or office hours.
McGeough said that food and drinks are not allowed in the practice rooms, except bottled water. If a Non-SOM student is with a SOM student and they are found with food and drink, the SOM student might lose their privileges for a period of time. Students who are not in the Music conservatory are not allowed to play drums, even if they have reserved a room.
