Facilities
Marshall Field House, a Georgian mansion, is the center for the Music Program. The building's drawing room is used for lectures, Master Classes, ensemble performances and student recitals. There are eleven performance and instruction studios, each complete with audio and recording equipment, that are open to students (from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.) for practicing before and after teaching faculty are at the College. Seven private practice studios (equipped with computers and acoustic and electronic pianos) - a chamber music studio, a percussion studio, a computer room, three practice studios- as well as an instrument lock-up room are available to the students at all times when Marshall Field is open. There are also 14 Steinway grand pianos and three harpsichords.
The Carriage House serves as the media center, including an Electronic Music Studio with state-of-the-art synthesizers, computers, MIDI gear, and two Yamaha Disklaviers. There is also a Software Notation Lab (four keyboards and computers that include the most recent versions of Finale and Sibelius) and a Keyboard Lab (eight stations plus a Master Teacher station).
The William Schuman Music Library, with its extensive sound recording collection, has twelve fully equipped listening and computer and study stations (CD players, cassette players, turntables, VCRs, DVD players, Mac & PC).
Reisinger Concert Hall, a 400-seat auditorium, has a nine-foot concert Hamburg Steinway and a seven-foot concert Steinway and is used for larger events, choral and orchestra concerts, as well as performances by faculty and visiting artists.
