Practice Room Policies

Practice time may be reserved each fall and spring semester, and summer term in which a student is enrolled.

Practice time is reserved as a recurring reservation with two different schedules: Mon-Wed-Fri is one schedule; Tue-Thu-Sat is another schedule; and Sunday is first-come, first-serve use.

The amount of daily practice time that each student is able to reserve is determined by the degree and instrument, and enrollment in qualifying elective classes for the semester in which the student is applying.

To secure reserved practice time, students must apply online. See more information here.

Piano Major students are eligible to schedule practice time in the locked piano major practice rooms. Collaborative Piano Majors are not eligible to schedule practice time in locked piano major practice rooms.
