Facilities

We work in two fully equipped, single-user studios in the Musical Arts Center, part of the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. We hold classes and private lessons in Studio A and small group sessions in Studio B, but the rest of the time is available for use by students enrolled in CECM studio courses.

We acknowledge the generous support of Sweetwater Sound, which helps us equip our studios and concert rig.
