Music practice rooms

Rehearsal rooms for musicians to work on their material for gigs and assessments.

About the music practice rooms

The four large rooms are all equipped with everything a band will need for a two-hour (or more) rehearsal. They are kitted out with a drum kit (breakables such as cymbals, felts and bass drum pedals are booked out from our store system) a bass amp, a variety of guitar amps, two keyboards and congas.

The four smaller rooms are equipped with upright pianos and small speaker systems for playback.
