<p>Are there music practice rooms in the dorms? Musicians in the dorms, where do you practice?</p>
<p>There are a few ways you can practice.</p>
<p>1) All units have a main lounge on the ground floor where there is a piano (or 2). Unit 4 and Clark Kerr have spaces that have pianos too.</p>
<p>2) In the units, there are additional music rooms in the central building. There are usually 2 of them per unit.</p>
<p>3) There are practice rooms in Morrison Hall (the music department building), about 20 of them (rough estimate). If you are a music major or are taking a music course, they are open to you almost all day. If you aren’t, then you can only use them during restricted hours in the evening.</p>
<p>4) There are also practice rooms in Cesar Chavez’s basement that are much bigger, but they are always taken up by UCCE groups. If you’re lucky, however, you can snag one. Go to the SMA office to get the key. (This option might be limited to UCCE members, however. I’ve never heard of someone being rejected from getting them though.)</p>
<p>That’s probably all the music practice options on campus.</p>
<p>Thank you Eloriel! </p>
<p>Folks that play instruments other than piano – something portable (like guitar, or violin, or trumpet, or bassoon). What do you do? Do you go to a practice room somewhere? Play in a lounge or basement room? Practice in your dorm room?</p>
<p>You would go to a practice room. I’ve seen string quartets practice in the dorm main lounges before, but you wouldn’t want to practice in your dorm room because that’s a surefire way to make enemies fast (unless you really HAVE to and it’s 1.30pm and everyone’s at class).</p>
<p>All the practice rooms have a piano, but you don’t need to use it to practice there.</p>
