CLASSROOMS

Depending on their format, music classes meet in either the 48-seat lecture room or the 20-seat seminar room. Both rooms are equipped with pianos, multimedia and computer hookups, music-lined whiteboards, and comfortable seats. The seminar room has an 88-key MIDI keyboard as well. Most music classes beyond the introductory level meet in the seminar room, which is conducive to the discussion format favored at Grinnell. Tables are oriented in a square with instructor and students facing each other. Other instructional spaces include the world music room, containing instruments from around the world, the early music room with instruments from the Renaissance to Classical eras, the computer lab, the electonic music studio, the arts technology lab, and a variety of rehearsal rooms and studios for ensemble and private lesson intruction.
