Steinert Hall
Steinert Hall at 148 Power Street is the home to a variety of facilities. Some of our recording studio and production rooms are at Steinert as well as our studios/offices for our Music & Multimedia Composition PhD program. The building features the Practice Center -- 13 rooms, each containing a piano, available nearly any time of day or night for Brown students, faculty, or staff to use for individual practice time. The building also has a large room that serves as both a rehearsal space for the Brown University Chorus and a keyboard lab for our music theory courses.
About the Studios at Steinert
Recording studios and equipment are for the use of students and faculty working on music studio related coursework or research. Student use will be limited to rooms that are relevant to each student's class work as determined by class instructors and teaching assistants. Authorized students can book studio time in advance. More information about the studios is available in this Studio Help Guide.
