The Ruth Harwood Shattuck

Hall of Music

The Ruth Harwood Shattuck Hall of Music, opened in September 1991, connects the Music-Drama Center with the Lawrence Memorial Chapel. It provides classroom space, two large rehearsal rooms, jazz rehearsal room, percussion studios, faculty studios, practice rooms, student study areas, the Carl J. Waterman Ensemble Music Library, instrument storage, and a recording studio. The digital recording/editing studio is capable of recording performances in both the chapel and Harper Hall and has been used to produce the conservatory's own CD recordings of many of the ensembles. A central student lounge provides an ideal place for group study sessions, practice breaks, or simply meeting friends after a day of rehearsals.
