Rooms

Lecture Rooms

Lecture rooms are used for teaching throughout term-time during the day, and some rooms are used for rehearsals and other functions in the evenings. Out of term, the rooms are sometimes booked for summer schools and conferences. Nevertheless, there are still many opportunities for students to book lecture rooms for course-related purposes. All the rooms are fitted with audio-visual equipment, and all have at least one piano.

Denis Arnold hall

The Denis Armold Hall  is the largest room in the Faculty and is used for lectures, research seminars, workshops, recitals and conferences. Instruments usually available in the Hall include a Steinway Grand Piano (recently refurbished)and a selection of large percussion.

Practice Rooms

The practice facilites at the Faculty are accessible to music students without having to book. In addition, particular orchestral instruments, such as timpani, can be borrowed by students. Historical instruments in the Bate Collection – or good copies of them – can be played in the Collection or, in some cases, borrowed for practice and public performance.

Common rooms

Undergraduates, members of Faculty and guests use the Students’ Common Room. There is a kitchen available to make hot drinks. There is also a Graduate Centre, including a teaching room and a kitchen.
