Practice Room Policies
Practice rooms are a shared resource, and these guidelines are here to help students use them fairly and respectfully. They explain what to expect around access, scheduling, time limits, and general use so everyone has the chance to work in a productive environment. Reviewing this information will help you understand your responsibilities and make the best use of the practice rooms throughout the semester.
Students Practice rooms
If practice rooms are not in use for lessons, they are available on a first-come, first-served basis for current music majors. The room schedule can be found on the TV monitor outside the main office. Rooms are only to be used for active instrumental/vocal practice. Study time, homework, or anything else outside of active practicing is not permitted. Please seek other lounge/quiet areas on campus. If a room contains personal items but is unoccupied for 15 minutes, students may respectfully remove the items and claim the room for active practice.
Faculty Practice rooms
If practice rooms are not in use for lessons, they are available on a first-come, first-served basis for student personal practice. Students cannot reserve practice rooms & subsequently, faculty cannot reserve a practice space for student personal practice. Faculty can reserve practice rooms for private lesson instruction through Linsay Setzer at the beginning of each semester. Daily/temporary reservations are also available, but must be requested by 4pm the day before use. Any request after that time will not be accommodated - faculty must find a space first come, first serve. Practice rooms are only to be used for active applied lessons and will be checked against student assignments. Personal time, office hours, or anything else outside of active lessons is not permitted. Please seek the adjunct office or other lounge/quiet areas on campus for this use. Faculty are not permitted to ask a student to leave if the room is not reserved.
