DOWNLOADFacilities and equipment
We have a series of rooms available so you can continue to practise your instrument of choice, including silent band practice. We also have entertainment facilities on campus.
The £4.5m Ivy Arts Centre regularly hosts events and is the ideal space for productions with a 200-seat theatre and 50-seat studio space, as well as dance studios and rehearsal rooms.
We have a series of instrumental practice rooms for both acoustic and amplified instruments.
Our band equipment allows you to practice with headphones using guitars, bass and drums, without creating high sound levels.
Our instrumental practice rooms are suitable for singers, drum kit practice, pianists and percussionists.
I was a part of the orchestra and we regularly held concerts, which were extremely enjoyable. It motivated me to continue pursuing practice and performance.Tim McKeever, BMus Music and Sound Recording (Tonmeister)
