School of Music Practice Room Policy
Use of practice rooms on the 2nd floor of Altgeld is limited to those assigned an access key. Keys are lent to music students with proof of applied registration and the signing of a loan contract. Lost keys or keys turned in after the deadline on the contract will result in a $25 charge to that student’s bursar’s bill.
All practice rooms are to remain locked. Students who have finished practicing should shut and lock the door behind them as they leave. Students may not loan their keys to other students or open practice rooms for a person who does not have official permission and key to use them.
No food or drink is allowed in practice rooms at any time. No objects of any kind may be placed on pianos, except for pencils, music and metronomes which should be placed only on the music rack of the piano. Those who violate these rules may be required to forfeit their practice room key for the semester.
Piano Performance, Piano Pedagogy, and Piano Music Ed majors may reserve a maximum of 3 hours total per day in practice rooms 203, 238, 240 and 241. All other music majors may reserve a maximum of 2 hours total per day in a practice room of their choosing. While students are encouraged to practice more than this, only the number of hours stated above may be reserved by signing on any posted practice room schedule. Students are welcome to use any open hours or unclaimed rooms for additional practice. Any person who does not abide by this policy will have all of their reserved times removed from the posted schedules.
No student is allowed to ‘save’ a room by leaving his/her belongings in it for an extended period in which he/she is absent from the room. If a student has vacated a practice room for more than 10 minutes, he/she will automatically forfeit the room to any other student waiting to use a practice room. Please be considerate of others’ belongings if you must move them in order to practice. Out of courtesy to others, please limit your practice sessions to 2 hours at a time in one practice room, or to 3 hours for the specific piano majors listed in the above paragraph.
All concerns regarding the maintenance and repair of pianos should be reported to the School of Music Piano Technician. Use the posted Repair/Maintenance form posted on the Piano Board, Altgeld second floor, to report any problems encountered with pianos. Priority must be given to the piano technician to service the pianos. If a particular piano must be serviced, students practicing in that room are expected to promptly and politely vacate the room at the technician’s request for the duration of the service.
Any violation of this policy may result in the revoking of practice room key privileges.
