Piano Practice rooms available to nonmusic majors?

<p>I live in birnkrant this yr so I have at least crappy piano downstairs to play every now and then but I was wondering if i could goto the music building (which building is that anyhow) and use one of their piano rooms? I know most other colleges I visited allows random people to use their piano rooms so...</p>

<p>I like to play the piano and sing a little bit at the same time but I dont want to do it where everybody can hear me... help music majors?</p>

<p>Yeah, the piano downstairs has some broken keys. :)</p>

<p>I think you can get a music sticker as long as you're taking some sort of music class right now. I actually haven't gone to get one, so I'm not sure.</p>

<p>Oh, the music practice building is PIC. It's around the Health Center area.</p>

<p>The music practice building is PIC, located right across Cromwell Track and Field and close to Heritage Hall (the building with all the awards and trophies). It looks like an old white house. It has about 50 rooms with completely tuned pianos, most of which are grand pianos. </p>

<p>The building's restricted to music majors and minors only, but you can get a music sticker (placed on your ID card) granting you access to the practice rooms IF you enroll in a music class. The sticker lasts for one school year; after that, you must get a new one. Thornton has become a real stickler about this - monitors are instructed to check every person's ID so that no one without a music sticker on their IDs can enter the building. </p>

<p>Even if you do get a music sticker on your ID, don't expect to get a room during the weekdays easily. The building's crowded pretty much every hour from 8 AM in the morning till 12 AM midnight. Thornton students generally reserve rooms for certain times during each day, and rooms that aren't reserved go on a first-come-first-serve basis. You'll have better luck on the weekends when it's MUCH less crowded.</p>

<p>I had a friend sneak in and play on them no problem</p>
