This building is the First Half of the Music Department. We share it with the Physician's Assistant program. We have a theater, 5 music classrooms, practice rooms, tech lab, music library, and offices
Music majors are certainly going to find the 6th the most helpful since there are music books on this floor. Full scores, biographies, and much more on this floor. There are others @ Monroe's library.
Most music majors eat here since it's close to the New Academic Building. Burgers, Salads, Italian, & Red Mango. Tables and Booths. Plus, a couch in the back room. Surrounded by classic posters&photos
First Floor and Lower Level belong to the music department. All the major offices are here. Bottom floor has 2 practice spaces for larger ensembles like orchestra, chorus, and jazz groups.
This is the main performance venue for large ensembles on campus. There are performances by orchestra and band every semester, plus the school opera and musical.
Most important is to not only enjoy playing music, but to enjoy the whole college experience. So try to make friends in and out of the department, join a club. This is the one place you go to find it.
As a music major, you should be exposed to professional musicians at work. Check out the NY Philharmonic, Met Opera, or whatever floats your boat in NYC. Just take train from Mineola.
