Building Use
Lockers
You may be eligible to check out a locker at the discretion of the department. It is not always possible to provide a large locker, so you may be asked to share. Locker assignments are based on need, as reflected by course enrollments. Uniforms
Many ensembles require a uniform. For policies pertaining to check-out, deposit and return of uniforms, ask the ensemble director. Practice Rooms
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 department head. The doors to the piano corridor and the organ corridor are to be kept locked at all times. Music Stands
Each music major and/or minor is required to supply his/her own portable folding music stand for use in applied music lessons, secondary instrument classes, small ensemble rehearsals, etc. Students in Dept. of Music large ensembles (bands, orchestra, etc.) may expect to use music stands belonging to the Dept. of Music for rehearsals and concerts.
