Practice Rooms

General use practice rooms in the Frohnmayer Music Building are available for reservation each Fall, Winter, and Spring Academic Terms for current Music students (Music graduate students, Music undergraduate music majors and minors). Students may reserve up to ten hours per week, for a maximum of two hours daily.

Non-music UO students who are enrolled in an ensemble or lessons may reserve general use practice rooms only when they are not needed by music majors or minors. These students must show proof of registration in MUP lessons or an MUS ensemble for the current term.

Practice Room reservations are accepted each term through an online request form and are processed based on priority/class standing. To reserve practice rooms, students must complete the online sign-up form during their allotted time. Room reservations will be processed and approved by front desk staff, and students will receive their reservation details for the term in a confirmation email. Practice room schedules for the term remain in effect through Friday of week 10.

Practice Room Facilities and Access Information

Entry to the Frohnmayer Practice Room suites require an access code. Non-music majors/minors may contact the Assistant to the Facilities Director and request an access code once their practice room reservations have been confirmed in the email sent by the front desk.

Equipment may not be removed from practice rooms. Students must leave the practice room tidy, including wiping up any condensation puddles that may have accumulated after brass instrument practice sessions. For more information, see equipment/furniture.

General use practice rooms are intended for single use. Students are not to use practice rooms for private teaching. It is against UO policy to give private lessons in the Music building if they are not part of the University curriculum or an established University program.

Music Majors specializing in Piano, harp, organ, string bass, or percussion performance may be granted access to locked practice rooms specific for those instruments. For details, see key authorization.

Week 3 

Finalized schedules for Spring Term 2024 will be posted outside each practice room no later than Week 3. Until final schedules are posted, students may utilize the general use practice rooms without a reservation but may be asked to leave by other students who have reserved their practice times (students with reservations must show proof via the confirmation email). 

Please use this link to submit your preferred practice room times. Once processed, you will receive a confirmation email from the front desk staff that includes your practice room reservation details for the current term, which will include weekdays, specific times reserved, and room locations. If you do not receive a confirmation email before Monday of Week 3, please contact the SOMD Scheduling.

Practice Room Policies

  • If a reserved practice room is empty for 15 minutes after the scheduled posted time, it is available for general use.
  • Teaching private lessons in practice rooms takes away valuable rehearsal time from your colleagues. In addition, it is against Oregon state law.
