Music Rooms

The Music Department has purpose built, multi-million pound accommodation that houses state of the art facilities in acoustically engineered spaces.

The music suite comprises a recording studio, recital room, computer suite and practice rooms. 

We have an excellent range of acoustic instruments in our stock, as well as pianos, keyboards, orchestral and percussion instruments, mics and amplifiers.

There is also a well-stocked library of scores and reference books.

The facilities at the College are excellent, with top quality pianos, technology and practice room. Diverse activities and ensembles run daily and there is a vibrant close-knit feel amongst the students, with excellent support from the staff in all areas of music making.
