Practice and rehearsal spaces

Practice makes perfect. And in the NTU Music Centre on City Campus we have spaces to suit everyone – from individual musicians and small bands to larger groups.

    Practice rooms

    We have five practice rooms which are available for students and staff to book online.

    Booking in advance is recommended, but not always necessary. Sessions are limited to 30 minutes to maximise the number of people who can use the facilities. However if there's no one booked in afterwards, you're free to play on.
