Facilities

Few schools of our size can match our music facilities. Housed in elegant Sanborn Hall, the music department contains 57 classrooms, teaching studios and practice rooms. Our "Renaissance in Music" campaign of the last decade resulted in the building of Presser Hall (a modern instrumental rehearsal room), renovation of Sanborn Hall, purchase of the impressive Klais organ in Gray Chapel, and the renovation of Gray Chapel. The following is a brief description of our outstanding music facilities:
