Instrument Rental
There is a $20.00 fee per semester for each instrument rented. Instruments are available in the A-V Room and rental forms must be signed in order to rent an instrument. A late fee may be charged for instruments not returned at the end of classes and names will be forwarded to the Office of the Registrar to withhold grades. Lockers may be signed out for the academic year. Students may choose lockers that do not have locks on them by filling out and returning the slips attached to empty lockers.
Make-up Privileges for Private Lessons
Private lessons missed by the instructor are made up at a time satisfactory to both the student and the teacher. Lessons missed by the student are made up ONLY if the instructor has been notified at least one day in advance and a reason acceptable to the teacher is given for the cancellation.
In an emergency,when one-day advance notice cannot be given, the lesson will be made up at the discretion of the instructor. In such case,the student must make every effort to give the instructor prior notice of his absence. (Call the instructor or the Music Office,436-2739,as soon as possible).
Private lessons missed because of an excused absence (authorized by the School or University) are made up at a time satisfactory to both the student and the teacher.

Sunday 2:00 pm - 10:00 PM
Monday-Thursday 8:00 am - 10:00 PM
Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 PM
Saturday Noon - 5:00 PM
Summer sessions: Daytime on weekdays only.
Location of materials:Scores,reference books and most LP recordings are on open shelves. Materials on course or general reserve, all compact discs and anything with a call number ending in “(c)” are in a locked cabinet or dosed stacks behind the service counter,and may be requested by call number. For resourceful use of the library, users should become familiar with the “Pilot ” computer catalog.
Circulation: The Music Library is available to all members of the University community and to members of the public who have been given a library card at the F. H. Green library. Use of materials on reserve or closed stacks requires the surrender of the borrower ’s campus I.D. or library card to the attendant for the duration of use in the library.
Materials on reserve,sound recordings,reference books and scores stamped “Does not circulate” may be used only in the library. You may borrow from the rest of the collection (notably most scores)for a six-week period,with one possible renewal. All patrons must present their bar-coded I.D. or library card in order to check out materials. Library users are expected to handle equipment and materials carefully,especially sound recordings. LP discs should be touched only on the edges and labels,never on the actual recording surface. The sensitive surface of compact discs is the one which is opposite the label. Keep discs in their containers when not in use,together with printed inserts. The insert of a recording or one of the instrumental parts of a score-part set often bears the bar code. If materials are returned with these items missing,the borrower will not be credited with having returned the set at all.
The music library has LP turntables,Cassette players,CD players,video players and a laser disc player,which are available for student use. The Musgrave collection,a record collection presented to the Music Library by Cecil Musgrave, consists of 6,400 mint condition recordings and is available upon request of the music library staff. The collection is housed in the Francis Harvey Green Library.
For help in locating materials or operating equipment,feel free to ask any member of the library staff to assist you.
