Music students and faculty in the Boyer College have unique needs for learning, teaching and rehearsing. The guidelines below have been created to ensure equitable access to our facilities.
Space requests will be prioritized first for coursework, then for lessons and ensembles, and finally for ad hoc requests.
Students and faculty can reserve available practice rooms at any time without administrative approval.
There are two ways to book:
These spaces require administrative approval via the Boyer Music Space Request Form. For ease of use, the form can be accessed directly by faculty, staff and students at any time.
Please submit requests at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible to allow time to process your request.
Same-day requests cannot always be accommodated due to the high volume of requests and reservations.
If you encounter any issues with the Boyer Music Space Request Form, please email [click-for-email].
If you need to change or cancel a reservation, please email BoyerRes@temple.edu so that we can adjust your reservation or make the space available to another faculty member or student.
Students reserving space for academic ensembles--those attached to course registration--can request up to 4 hours per week (on a recurring basis, if desired) for ensemble rehearsals.
In order to use Boyer music facilities, non-academic ensembles must first complete a Permission Form, signed by a Boyer Faculty Sponsor as well as the CPCA Dean of Facilities and Administrative Affairs, Eric Schweingruber. Please contact Lead Administrative Specialist, Shahara Benson to complete this process.
After completing the Permission Form, students reserving space for non-academic ensembles may request to use Boyer music facilities up to 2 hours per week.
To assist in prioritizing academic ensembles and coursework, rehearsals for non-academic ensembles must take place after 6pm.
The lost and found is in the main office of Presser Hall (Presser Hall 129) and the student office of Rock Hall (Rock Hall 119).
To schedule a Boyer College-sponsored music performance (faculty recital, studio recital, etc.), Boyer faculty, staff and students may contact the Recital Office. Inquiries from other Temple schools and colleges require prior written approval from Boyer’s assistant dean of facilities and administrative affairs.
When reaching out, please include 2-3 preferred dates, a brief description of the event that includes venue needs, your preferred recital time (5:30 PM or 7:30 PM), and preferred performance venue if you have one. Performances should not exceed 60 minutes.
For individual student recitals, including degree recitals, please refer to the scheduling instructions and deadlines on the Recital Information Canvas page.
Providing private or group lessons to anyone other than current Temple students is not permitted.
If you wish to rent a Boyer music space for any activity that involves non-Temple individuals, including lessons, please contact Dean of Facilities and Administrative Affairs Eric Schweingruber.
To ensure that the Boyer community has access to well-maintained facilities, please adhere to the following guidelines and, in general, leave a space better than how you found it:
