Facilities

Eastern Michigan University has invested a great deal in facilities and equipment to support music instruction. Students, faculty and staff alike must recognize the value of this investment and act appropriately to maintain it for the common good. This means that all must help ensure that the building and its contents are secure, that equipment is treated with appropriate care, and that security systems such as locks are not circumvented. Students attempting to bypass security systems will be referred to the Student Judicial Office for disciplinary action. Students damaging University-owned equipment may be liable for the cost of repair or replacement.

Equipment

  • Lockers

    Expand dropdown
    Students may be eligible to check out a locker at the discretion of the office staff of the department. Since it is not always possible to provide a large locker, students needing large lockers may be asked to share. Decisions about locker assignments will be based on need, as reflected by course enrollments.
  • Practice Rooms

    Expand dropdown
    A large number of small practice rooms, with and without pianos, are kept unlocked and are available to all students. Please take care of the rooms and their contents and report any misuse to the Music Office immediately. A few practice rooms are reserved for special purposes, such as percussion, harpsichord, harp, organ, and piano (for piano majors). Authorization to obtain a key for these rooms is given by the appropriate faculty, with the approval (signature) of the head of the Department of Music. The doors to the piano corridor and the organ corridor are to be kept locked at all times.
