Student Recital Scheduling
All student recitals are scheduled one quarter in advance. Scheduling dates through Fall 2006 are as follows:

Summer 2008/Fall 2008

Priority for recital scheduling is given by degree (AD, DMA/PhD, MM, BM, and Junior/Non-required). Most recitals are scheduled in Robert J. Werner Recital Hall, Watson Hall or the Master Classroom (MEH 3250). Special arrangements are made for recitals requiring larger setups, such as percussion, jazz, conducting and some composition recitals. Students who have previously cancelled or rescheduled a recital without adequate cause are given lowest priority for scheduling their next recital.

Recital Dress Rehearsals
CCM allows three hours of dress rehearsal time in the performance hall for each student recital. For recitals in Robert J. Werner Recital Hall, there will be two rehearsals of 1½ hours each. Rehearsals must take place within the regular operating hours for the performance space (Werner, 9:30am-5:30pm, Mon.-Sat.; Watson and MEH 3250, 9:00am-12:00am, all days). For Recitals Scheduled in Patricia Corbett Theater or the Cohen Family Studio theater, dress rehearsals will be limited to the day of the performance due to the setup requirements.

Chamber Music Rehearsals
Two chamber music rehearsal rooms are available in Memorial Hall for student chamber groups. They are equipped with grand pianos. You can schedule these rooms through the Scheduling Office during regular office hours. Note: Students should provide their own music stands for rehearsals in chamber music rooms.

Solo Music Rehearsals (with or without accompaniment)
Practice rooms are available throughout Memorial Hall for solo rehearsals and rehearsals for voice or instrument with piano accompaniment. These rooms are available on a first-come/first-served basis and cannot be reserved in advance. Some of these rooms are designated as piano practice rooms and are only available for piano students with keys.

Large Ensemble and Percussion Rehearsals
The large ensemble rehearsal rooms in Corbett Center (rooms 1340, 1402 and 1630) are available for large groups and groups requiring large amounts of percussion equipment. The choral rehearsal room (DVAC 100) is available for choral group rehearsals. Due to increased use by regularly scheduled classes and ensembles, availability of these rooms is very limited. All of these are locked rooms. To use them, you must work with a faculty member or graduate teaching assistant who can unlock the room at the appointed time and secure it after the rehearsal. For the security of our people and equipment, it is imperative that these rooms be secured after each use.

Opera/Musical Theater/Drama Rehearsals
The drama classrooms (rooms 4735 & 4755) near the OMDA divisional office are available for student theatrical rehearsals. Room 4735 is held on weekday evenings for use by directing students, but room 4755 is generally available in the evenings. Out of consideration for others who use these rooms, please clear the rooms of all rehearsal props and costumes after each use. The larger OMDA rehearsal rooms on the 3000 level are available only for projects sponsored by OMDA departments and under the direct supervision of faculty, stage managers or graduate directing assistants.

Recordings
To record for a competition or audition, you may schedule Watson Hall, the Master Classroom (MEH 3250), the chamber music rooms or any of the large ensemble rooms, including the choral rehearsal room (DVAC 100). Students may reserve a maximum of three hours recording time per week ; reservations can be made within two weeks before the desired recording time. Please plan rehearsals well before competition deadlines, as availability of these spaces is limited, and certain other activities are given priority. Also, please use your time in these spaces wisely. Rehearse in a practice room prior to the scheduled recording time so that you can get an excellent recording in only one or two takes.

Classroom & Conference Room Scheduling
CCM classrooms and conference rooms can be scheduled for appropriate activities led by a CCM faculty member or graduate teaching assistant. Always leave classrooms in the standard classroom configuration after use. All CCM classrooms and conference rooms must remain locked when not in use. All classrooms are equipped with stereos. Most have pianos. Many classrooms contain computer and video equipment. Any other educational equipment needs should be arranged through your academic division office.

Private Teaching
Any CCM students who wish to take on students for private lessons should make arrangements to teach through the Preparatory Program. Their offices are located in CC 3860. Room assignments for private teaching will be made through the Prep Office. Private teaching is not allowed in UC facilities except through Collegiate and Preparatory programs. Unauthorized private teaching on state property is a violation of Ohio state law.

Receptions
All receptions in CCM facilities must be scheduled through the CCM Scheduling Office. Receptions for CCM students following recitals or performances can be scheduled in the CCM Café. This space is not scheduled exclusively, and other users must be given equal access. For the last recital of the evening in Werner Recital Hall, there is a green room available for receiving guests briefly following the performance. With advance notice to the Scheduling Office, this space is appropriate for small amounts of food, but larger receptions should take place elsewhere. For the last recital of the evening in Watson Hall, the Watson Hall lobby may be scheduled for small receptions with advance notice.
