Welcome back, [FIRST_NAME]

We know Monday mornings can be a slow start, especially when spring still feels like winters, but we got you! This week, we have a range of events including Peabody Graduation Fair on March 27. With the semester approaching its final few weeks, we'd also like to remind you about our Practice Room policy. Scroll for more...

PS. Start the countdown for Peabody Palooza, it's a month away! 🥳

Events

Practice Room and Maintenance Policy

Acoustically-treated practice rooms are available for use only by current, registered students taking major lessons at the Conservatory. Some rooms are accessible by J-Card, while others require a key that can be checked out through Campus Security. Students are encouraged to reserve practice rooms in ArtsVision; full information can be found on The Nest. Toward that end, students need to adhere to the following guidelines:

• Students must place their ID cards in the ID card clips mounted on practice room doors for the duration of their practice sessions.
• Eating, drinking, and smoking are strictly prohibited in all practice rooms and concert halls. Water bottles for singers and wind instrumentalists are permitted, but must be placed on the shelves provided or on the floor.
• Possessions may not be left in a room to reserve it. A room left unoccupied for 10 minutes is available. In an effort to reduce thefts, Campus Security may lock an unoccupied practice room if there are unsecured items in it or may take those items to the Campus Security office.
• All items should be returned to their original locations at the end of each practice session. (Note: Students are advised to bring a personal portable stand to practice sessions).
• Practicing in hallways and other public areas is strongly discouraged as it may be disruptive to classes, performances, and offices in the area. Failure to heed a request to cease playing may result in disciplinary action.
