<p>Awww shucks! Thanks, Rosieony. My D is making the most of her time at USC, so she is gathering lots of info that she passes on to me. Here is an overview of the facilities: [USC</a> Thornton School of Music : About Us: Performance Halls and Studios](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/schools/music/about/halls/index.html]USC”>http://www.usc.edu/schools/music/about/halls/index.html) I think the practice rooms themselves are more to keep distractions out than music in, but the various venues likely have a small area for warm ups that isolate the sound from the audience. D will have her first recital during finals week, so I won’t know for sure until then! Maybe a current music student has more info???</p>
