For a complete list of pianos on campus, please contact the Harvard Piano Technical Services.
There are 7 music practice rooms, one between Wigglesworth C and D basements, one in Wigglesworth D basement, two in Straus basement (A and C), one in Greenough basement, and two in (wheelchair accessible) Matthews basement. All rooms are available from 9 AM to 11 PM with the exception of Straus, which is open 24 hours/day. The Freshman Music Rooms are open only to first-year students.
Pianos are available in Wigglesworth, Straus C, Greenough, and Matthews 2. These pianos were donated in used condition in order to provide freshmen the opportunity to practice piano in locations convenient to the dorms. It should be noted that none of the pianos are performance-grade instruments, so accomplished players will likely not be pleased with their quality. Freshmen can play higher-quality pianos in Music Building practice rooms. If any of the pianos in the Freshman Music Rooms need tuning, or there are any other questions or concerns with the practice rooms, please do not hesitate to contact the Freshman Dean's Office at 495-1574 or fdo@fas.harvard.edu with "Music Room Question" in the subject line.
In order to become a registered user of the Freshman Music Practice Room online reservation system, please stop by the Freshman Dean's Office at 6 Prescott Street and fill out a registration form. Note that with permission to use the music rooms goes responsibility: in case of damage to any music practice space, the FDO and Harvard Yard Operations will make a good-faith effort to determine individual responsibility, but if individual responsibility cannot be determined, charges will be shared among all those who have obtained permission to use the Freshman Practice Rooms.
