Facilities of the Department of Music

Stony Brook’s Staller Center for the Arts includes an acoustically excellent theatre-concert hall and a more intimate recital hall. The music building contains both rehearsal and teaching facilities, more than 70 practice rooms and studios for graduate students, and more than 40 Steinway grand pianos. A fully-equipped electronic and computer music studio complex provides advanced facilities for electronic and computer music composition. On campus, students have access to computing resources via SINC (Students in Need of Computers) sites (run by the Division of Information Technology) which has multimedia software and hardware. The Department also has a collection of early instruments, including several harpsichords and organs, a consort of viols, and Renaissance wind instruments. Our music library contains an extensive research collection of books, periodicals, scores, microfilms, DVDs, and audio recordings.
