For the first two weeks of classes, while all adjunct faculty members are still in the midst of scheduling applied lessons, you may use any available practice rooms. After lessons are scheduled, sign-up sheets will be posted on practice room
doors.

Lockers
Contact Barbara Melton to rent a locker and combination lock. We ask that you do not bring your own lock. Rental fee is $2.00 per year.

Music Lab Access
Booker Hall Room 113 houses the Music Technology Lab (known as the MuseLab). All music majors can use student ID cards to “swipe” into the lab between 7am and midnight, seven days a week. Ten Macintosh computer stations are available, as well as a laser printer, ‘net access, and plenty of music-related hardware and software. Prof. Ben Broening is the lab’s director, and a number of students assist in running the lab. If interested in becoming a tech lab assistant, see Dr. Broening.

Instrument Rental
The department owns eight guitars and a number of violins which are rented out on a first-come, first-served basis. The fee is $20.00 per semester and the rental can be arranged through Barbara Melton in the music office. Professor Niethamer arranges for the rental of all band instruments.

Junior and Senior Recital Procedures

Advising
Freshmen music majors are assigned to faculty advisors by the Academic Advising Resource Center. If your advisor is not a music faculty member, please consult with
the chair at your earliest convenience. All junior and senior music majors are assigned to the chair for advising. In addition, all full-time and part-time faculty are available for consultation regarding coursework, graduate schools, and other post-graduate opportunities. Other resources include the Career Development Center. It's up to you to take advantage of the “people” resources here at Richmond!

Please be aware that the add-drop procedure within the Department of Music is the same as in other areas of the University; see the Registrar!s website for more information.

Accompanying and Accompanists
Students seeking the help of student accompanists for junior or senior
recitals, reps, or other occasions should contact Dr. Joanne Kong.
