Reserve Rooms

Practice rooms and classrooms may be booked on a first-come, first-served basis beginning June 1st using Skedda (see below). Hours are 7am-11pm, all days of the week. Failure to follow the rules will result in your room booking privileges being permanently revoked for the duration of the festival.

Rules

  • BEFORE YOU BOOK: carefully read each space's notes carefully by clicking the info bubble next to each space’s name.

  • No food or beverages of any kind are allowed in the practice rooms except bottled water.

  • Attendees and faculty are permitted to reserve a MAXIMUM OF 90 MINUTES PER DAY. Any reservations longer than that will be canceled.

  • Lessons with faculty are not counted toward the 90-minute maximum booking.

  • We ask that faculty refrain from booking private lessons or coaching sessions on the second and third Mondays of the festival, which are considered days off from festival activities.

  • If you are more than 10 minutes late to your reservation, you FORFEIT YOUR TIME SLOT.

  • If you can no longer use your reserved time, please CANCEL YOUR APPOINTMENT.

  • Two missed reservations will result in your PRIVILEGES BEING REVOKED for the duration of the festival.

  • Always make a reservation under your name and not “Casual User.” If we cannot identify it, you will risk losing the reservation.

  • Please read the guidelines specific to each space before making a reservation by clicking the info bubble next to the space’s name.

  • Faculty receive priority over attendees.

  • Performers and conductors receive priority over composers.

  • Pianists receive priority over non-pianists for grand piano practice rooms and rooms with pianos. Due to pianists being unable to practice in their residences, they can book up to three hours per day in the music building.

  • If you are practicing by yourself, please attempt to book a practice room first and not a classroom.

  • You are allowed to practice in your Skidmore Residence between the hours of 9am-9pm.

  • Please be respectful of others around you and the facilities. Any damage to the facilities or equipment will result in immediate dismissal from the festival with no refund.

  • If you have any questions regarding reserving rooms, please contact our Office Manager.
