Practice Rooms

PRACTICE ROOMS 

Practice rooms in the Music Building, Music Practice Building, and Billman Pavilion are available to enrolled students during building hours (see above). Private teaching in these rooms is not allowed. There are several practice rooms reserved for piano practice by music majors whose primary instrument is piano. See the chair of the Piano area to obtain permission to access these rooms.

There is a 15-minute vacancy limit. If a student is absent from a practice room for more than 15 minutes— whether or not personal belongings remain in the room–the room may be taken by another student. 

IMPORTANT-do not leave valuables (including instruments) unattended at any time in practice rooms or anywhere in the College of Music. Personally-owned instruments are not insured through MSU. Students may want to check with their homeowner insurance provider for information on coverage for instruments “away from premises.” In some cases, it may be possible or desirable to purchase through parents’ homeowner’s insurance a rider that will cover an expensive musical instrument while it is away from home. If a theft occurs, contact the MSU Police immediately and report the incident to the Dean of Undergraduate Studies and Operations, Michael Kroth, kroth@msu.edu .
