<p>I play the steel drums and was wondering what my options are in terms of practicing when at NU.</p>
<p>I won't be majoring or minoring in music studies. </p>
<p>Are there practice rooms for non-music studies students?
I've looked online but haven't found much info.</p>
<p>I know there’s a practice room in the basement of my dorm that everyone is welcome to use. I don’t know whether every dorm has this, though.</p>
<p>I’ve also heard there are some rooms in one of the music buildings that everyone is allowed to use. I read on a website somewhere that they were only for music majors, but I’ve heard that everyone is allowed to use them anyway. I don’t know what the deal is with that…</p>
<p>Smaller dorms don’t tend to have anything. :(</p>
<p>My dorm is fairly small.</p>
<p>what dorm are you in?</p>
<p>I just visited Northwestern’s music school, and if I recall correctly, they have an entire set of practice rooms dedicated for nonmajors. I think it’s called the Beehive, but I’m not sure. The building didn’t look too hot, but it makes sense that you would be given the more run-down practice rooms if you’re a nonmajor.</p>
<p>They seem to have a lot of options for nonmajors interested in music, and that’s one of the main appealing factors for me.</p>
