<p>Kev,
Thornton School of Music has 99 Steinway pianos. Practice rooms this year are in a brand new building with better security for the instruments and is air conditioned. </p>
<pre><code>One fourth of the TMB are engineers. If you think that might take too much time there are all sorts of jazz, rock, and other student music groups. If you enjoy classical music there is an alternative to the Thornton Symphony Orchestra which students join who are not performance majors.
There are so many talented students at SC I am sure you could find a congenial music group.
