Classroom/Practice Facilities

The following spaces are located in the Cunningham Center for Music and Art

Heilman Rehearsal Hall

Heilman Hall accommodates large ensemble rehearsals.

Practice Rooms

Practice rooms are located in a dedicated wing of the building, allowing students the ability to practice even while classes and performances are being held in other areas of the building. Each room is appointed with a piano, acoustical panels for aural feedback and sound absorption panels for volume control.

The department offers larger rooms for small ensemble practice and three Steinway piano practice rooms that are specifically for use by piano majors.

Percussion Rooms

Susquehanna offers two well-appointed percussion rooms. One is for keyboard percussion, featuring two 51/2 octave Marimba One marimbas. The second space is for battery percussion practice and storage. This room contains a set of tympani and numerous snare drums, cymbals, drum sets and ethnic percussion. It also houses marching percussion for Stadium Band.

These rooms are available to percussion majors for lessons, practice time and ensemble rehearsals.

The lab hosts piano lab courses as well as Introduction to Music Technology. The lab features 10 Yamaha digital pianos and 10 Macintosh computers running software including Finale, GarageBand and iMovie.

When classes are not being held, it is open to music majors as a fully equipped computer lab.
