Practice rooms are located on the second floor of the CFA (ID card access), the lower level of Amy du Pont (key access) and are available to music students with key and/or UD-ID clearance. Permission to practice on the grand pianos, the organ at Bayard Sharp Hall, or in the percussion studio room must be obtained from the professor and the Scheduling Coordinator.
Practice rooms and studios in the School of Music may not be used for non-curricular teaching.
The following guidelines must be observed by all users of the practice rooms:

- At no time should the lights in the room be off during occupancy.
- An effort must be made at all times to limit the volume of sound produced in the practice room to a reasonable level. In addition, the occupant is expected not to mistreat the piano.
- Removal of the supplied piano and/or bench from the room is prohibited.
- Chairs or music stands secured from another area of the building must be returned to their original location immediately following the practice session.
- Removal of the sound isolation panels from the walls is prohibited.
- Removal of the mirror from the walls is prohibited.
- Occupancy of the practice rooms for an obvious commercial endeavor is illegal.
- Failure to comply with the above rules may result in expulsion from the premises, suspension from future usage or any other lawful penalty.
