Music Facility Provides Numerous Opportunities
The music department is located in Rodman Center for the Arts.
The center houses teaching studios, a practice area, lockers
and instrument storage space, classrooms, a choral rehearsal
room and a resource center.
The library of scores and recordings includes more than 10,000
items and ample listening stations for student use. A generous
number of soundproof practice rooms are available from 7 a.m.
to 10 p.m. every day, and the instruments are carefully maintained
by a resident technician.
Demmer Recital Hall provides excellent acoustics for all forms
of musical performance. A fully equipped sound control booth
makes high-quality recording possible from either the stage of
Demmer Hall or the choral rehearsal room.
The collection of instruments for use by the students includes
some of the finest in every class – Bechstein, Hornung/Moller
and Steinway pianos, a Dowd French double harpsichord, a Zuckerman
5-octave clavichord and a Bedient 40-rank tracker organ, LeMay
string instruments and a large number of wind instruments of
well-known makes. Macintosh computers with music software and
MIDI interface are available for student use.
