To contact the Practice Rooms:
Morrison Hall Basement
Phone: (510) 642-2681
E-mail: musicpr@uclink.berkeley.edu
The practice rooms are for the exclusive use of registered Cal students, currently employed staff, and faculty. Community members of department-sponsored ensembles may also use the practice rooms. (Not eligible: UC Extension students and Cal alumni.)
Designations (A, B, and C) regulate the flow of users to insure that music majors and minors, members of department-sponsored ensembles, and students taking harmony, theory, and musicianship classes get priority during the day. A and B stickers, applied to Cal photo IDs, can be obtained at the practice rooms desk upon presentation of current Cal registration or a faculty/staff identification card. A and B users will also be asked to fill out a name and address card. A and B stickers will be issued after class lists are published, usually during the second or third week of the semester.
A users are declared music majors, music graduate students, and music faculty/staff.
B users are members of department-sponsored ensembles and those music minors and nonmajors taking harmony, theory, and musicianship classes.
C users are registered Cal students, staff, or faculty not in either of the above categories.
Users must surrender their IDs to the desk clerk in exchange for the keys to a practice room. IDs are returned when the keys are. Sign-up sheets back this exchange system. Remember to sign in and out.

Rules governing use
- Practice rooms are available on a first-come/first-served basis.
- No smoking, eating, or drinking in the practice rooms; smoking is not allowed in buildings. Use the lounge for eating or drinking.
- Do not move insulation panels from the walls; they break easily.
- Lock and close doors when you leave. For the security of users as well as instruments and equipment, we advise keeping doors closed and locked during use. Please do not put paper in windows.
- Report any problems with rooms or instruments to the practice desk clerk.
- No private teaching in the practice rooms except by department and YMP instructors.
- Use of the organ and early instruments requires special permission. Make arrangements through the department office, 104 Morrison. No one will be admitted to the rooms in which these instruments are stored without written permission from the faculty member in charge.
Grand Piano Room Use: Only A users, chamber music students (Music 146), and department instructors (Music 150) may use the grand piano rooms. Grand piano rooms are reserved much of the time for teaching.
RESERVATIONS Reservations can be made for the FOUR GRAND PIANO ROOMS throughout the day and for the STUDENT LOUNGE after 5PM. Semester-permanent reservations are accepted as well as reservations for one-time use. Make reservations with the clerk at the practice desk.
Only NOON CONCERT PIANISTS may reserve the grand piano rooms for individual practice and only during the semester in which they are scheduled to perform. Noon concert auditionees may not reserve grand rooms for individual practice, but auditioning ensembles may do so in the weeks preceding noon concert auditions.
Except for noon concert pianists (explained above), THERE ARE NO RESERVATIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE.
Semester-permanent Reservations A and B users may reserve the grand piano rooms, for ensemble rehearsals only, on a semester-permanent basis if they are registered for chamber music (Music 146). Permanent reservations can also be made by department instructors (150, 405, and YMP) and musicianship instructors (Music 20).
Reservations for one-time use should be made not more than two weeks in advance for not more than two hours at a time.
CANCELLING--Please give as much advance notice as possible to the clerk at the practice desk (642-2681) if you will not be using your reserved room. Be considerate; grand rooms are in demand.
Keys for reserved rooms must be picked up within ten minutes of the specified time or the entire reservation is forfeited.
LOCKERS Lockers of varying size are available for academic-year assignment. Private locks may not be used (and will be cut off). Store articles in lockers at owner's risk; the department is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Everyone must clear lockers before the end of spring semester. The exact date for clearing lockers will be taped to the lockers. The contents of uncleared lockers, instruments excepted, will be sent to campus Excess, Surplus and Salvage (642-1186).
