All undergraduate and graduate students from any major can purchase access to the School of Music practice rooms. 

General Information

There are two practice room spaces available for use: Couch 104 and Couch 206. 104 is a practice room suite with seven individual Wenger sound-isolation practice rooms. 206 is a classroom for larger group/chamber ensemble practice.

There are digital pianos available to play in a handful of the 104 practice rooms (more info available at purchase).

Practice room access is purchased on a semester basis. Access terminates each semester after final exams and must be re-purchased the following semester.

Payment Information

Practice room access is $30 per semester. Following payment, you will receive a confirmation email that includes a link to reserve practice rooms in advance via the School of Music TeamUp calendar. You may also practice in any room that is unoccupied without making a reservation.

Please note, it may take 2-3 business days to receive Buzzcard access after your purchase.

You must re-purchase practice room access each semester.

Reserving Your Room

Following payment, you will receive a confirmation email that includes a link to the School of Music TeamUp calendar. You can reserve practice rooms in advance using this calendar by clicking the date and time you would like to reserve on the appropriate room calendar located on the left side.

Each individual room in 104 has its own TeamUp calendar (104A – 104G). Be sure you are reserving space in the correct room!

  • Please list your FULL NAME on the reservation. If there will be multiple people practicing in the room with you, be sure to list every student’s name on the reservation.
  • Every person who is using the room should have Buzzcard access.
  • Do not let anyone into the Couch Building or a Practice Room who does not have Buzzcard access.
