Practice Room Rentals
Practice Room Rentals
All members of the Georgia Tech community can purchase access to the School of Music practice rooms. This includes undergraduate and graduate students from any major, as well as all faculty and staff on campus.
Practice Rooms are not available Summer 2023.
General Information
We have four practice rooms available for student use. They are rooms 104, 204, 206, and 209.
There are digital pianos available to play in all four practice rooms (Kawai models CN34B and CA48B). Additionally, there is a Yamaha upright piano located in room 209 if you prefer a more acoustic sound. We do not have any grand pianos available for practice. The locked acoustic piano in 104 is not for general student use. This is for faculty to use for specific classes. Please do not try to unlock this piano for any reason without faculty approval.
If you wish to play an instrument other than a piano in 204, you must bring your own instrument.
Payment Information
Access is free for BSMT, MSMT, and PhD MT students. Book through the "Practice Room and Lab Reservation Calendar" tab in the general channel on the School of Music Team.
Practice room access is $15 per semester for students enrolled in a MUSI class and $30 for all other members of the Georgia Tech Community. If you are taking a MUSI class, please contact your professor for a promo code to receive the lower rate.
Following payment, you will receive a confirmation e-mail that includes a link to reserve practice rooms in advance. You may also practice in any room that is unoccupied without making a reservation.
Please note, it may take 1-2 business days to receive Buzzcard access after your purchase.
You must purchase practice room access each semester as access to practice rooms terminates at the end of each semester.
Reserving Your Room
Please list your FULL NAME on the reservation. Recurring reservations with no FULL NAME will be deleted. If there will be multiple people practicing in the room with you, be sure to list every student’s name on the reservation.
