Facilities

The School of Music is located primarily in the Music Building at 1741 Volunteer Boulevard.  In addition, the School of Music has offices in the East Wing of the Alumni Memorial Building and Melrose Hall.

The Music Building is normally open according to the following schedule during the academic year:

      Monday through Friday – 7:00 AM until 11:30 PM
      Saturday – 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM
      Sunday – 12:00 noon until 10:45 PM

Special activities may require exceptions to this schedule. The summer term and breaks will have a slightly different schedule.

George F. DeVine Music Library

The George F. DeVine Music Library is the primary source for music and music literature in the University of Tennessee Libraries.  It provides resources and information services to support the University’s programs in music and music education, as well as serving music reference and research needs for the University and the local community. The Music Library is located in Rooms 301-302 in the Music Building.  On-line catalog tutorials are available at the beginning of each semester.

Computer Laboratories

There are Computer Laboratories located on the second floor of the Music Building in Room 225 and in Room 134 of Alumni Memorial Building.  Their main purpose is to facilitate training for courses in Ear Training.  To support the Ear Training courses, a four-semester computer software sequence titled "Curriculum for Aural Training" (C.A.T.) has been developed (and recently updated) by UT music professors Mark Boling and Don Pederson.

The computers are equipped with other software for students to use including Finale, Word, Powerpoint, and Marching Band drill software. The Labs are open to students over 40 hours per week.

Practice Rooms

Practice Rooms are housed in the east wing of the Music Building on the first floor, in Alumni Memorial Building near Room 50, and in Melrose Hall.  These rooms are reserved exclusively for students currently enrolled in applied music at UT.  They operate via an electronic locking system, which requires the use of Student IDs with magnetic strip for entrance.  The ID will work only after the student has been assigned a lesson time and their applied teacher has turned in their name and ID number to the Choral Office, Room 144.

Practice Area Schedule:

  • The double doors leading into the practice area remain unlocked during the school day from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM, after which they are locked by the system for security reasons in the evening.
  • The practice room area is secured by the system at 5:00 PM Friday, and remains secured until 8:00 AM Monday morning. 
  • This schedule may vary when there are special activities in the building.
  • All persons should vacate the practice area by 10:45 PM. Persons not officially registered at UT are considered trespassers by Campus Police. No smoking, eating, or drinking is allowed in practice rooms.

Care of the facilities

Students should be protective of all areas used by the Music Department as well as the equipment, library materials, and instruments.  No student should permit others to be abusive, either carelessly or deliberately.  Given the limited resources of the School, the smallest damage hurts everyone. Students are requested to report any items that require attention throughout the building to the Director of the School of Music. 

Students are encouraged to check their (or their parents’) homeowners’ insurance for the availability of an insurance rider which covers University-owned instruments and equipment entrusted to their care.
