I am a music student. What do I need to know about practice rooms?

Practice rooms are equipped with a piano, music stand and mirror. They are available to all SF State students, though priority is given to music majors first, then students enrolled in music classes.

Hours

  • Monday through Friday 8:00am - 9:30pm
  • Saturday & Sunday 12:00pm - 5:00pm
  • Sunday noon - 5:00pm

Note: If you arrive after 5:00pm during the week or anytime on a weekend, you must locate a practice room monitor to unlock a room. The practice room monitor may ask to see your Student ID. Practice room monitors will post their whereabouts on the door of CA 141.

Rules

  • No food is permitted in the practice rooms
  • Water bottles are allowed, but must not be set on the pianos.
  • No covering of the windows is permitted...if the practice room monitor can't see inside the room, you may be asked to leave.

Special Practice Rooms

  • Grand pianos are available only to piano majors.
  • Large/Double practice rooms are reserved for piano duets and large instruments (cello, tuba,...). If you do not fall into this category, you may be asked to move to a regular room.
  • The Bass room is available only to bass majors.
  • You MUST be a percussion or Jazz Drums major to use any percussion instruments or drum kits. Majors who wish to schedule a weekly practice block should contact Paul Wilson for more information about the Access List.
