Practice Room Rentals
Practice Room Rentals
All undergraduate and graduate students from any major can purchase access to the School of Music practice rooms. Due to limited availability during construction, the rooms are not available to other members of the GT community this semester.
Practice Room availability is limited for Fall 2023.
Due to ongoing construction and renovations to the Couch Building, most practice room spaces will be unavailable for Fall 2023. Couch 204 and 206 will still be open and available at no charge for students to use this semester. If you’d like access to either of these rooms, please still click ‘Purchase Practice Room Access’ to register and gain buzzcard access. Because of high demand, you are not allowed to reserve these rooms for more than an hour at a time, and recurring weekly reservations are not allowed. Reservations will be open through the TeamUp system on the first of each month.
Additional music practice room spaces can be found in the John Lewis Student Center, rooms 2113, 2117, & 2119 on the second floor behind the WREK Radio Suite.
Thank you to all for your patience and flexibility as we upgrade our building to provide better music spaces for you in the future. Once construction is complete, Couch 104 will have 7 separate soundproof practice room suites available for use starting Spring Semester 2024! Keep an eye on the SoM website for updates.
Payment Information
Access is free this semester for all students. Book through the "Practice Room and Lab Reservation Calendar" tab in the general channel on the School of Music Team.
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.
