Facilities

Among these are new facilities, including spacious and soundproof practice rooms (each equipped with an acoustic piano), a large rehearsal hall, and a piano/computer lab, the newly created recording studio (which has already enabled the program to produce a full-length CD in house), and refurbished and technologically enhanced classrooms.
