<p>Re: Practice rooms
The information in posts above may have been true at one point, but not in the past 5+ years.
Currently there are several practice room options with pianos. Any student can get a key to the Spurrier practice rooms (which contain uprights) for a $5-10 deposit. You don’t need to be taking music lessons or classes or have any involvement in the music department. You do not need to reserve a room.
There are also practice rooms in several dorms that have pianos - Sue B has one in the Solarium, Gilbert I believe, a few other quad dorms. The Music Interest Floor maintains a practice room as well that is open to all students.
Declared music majors and large instrument students (bass, cello) have access to three practice rooms in Strong, each of which have a baby grand. </p>
<p>So your son will have many options to practice piano. Hope this helps.</p>
