StudioS + gear

Studio A

Our largest space is ideal for large-group rehearsals, remote concerts, TV interviews, photoshoots, small concerts, or showcase events. The adjacent control room provides a separate location for audio/technical support.

800sqft.

Room set up for a music jam session with various musical instruments including microphones, guitars, a drum set, keyboards, and amplifiers.

Studio B

Perfect for virtual masterclasses, workshops, and conferences, with live stream and Zoom capabilities. Great for string quartets and jazz combos. This room is also ideal for podcasts and recording audition videos.

350 sqft.

Studio D

Perfect size for individual practice, duet rehearsals, and teaching lessons. This studio has 3 large windows that let in lots of light, so it doesn't have that conservatory practice room feel.

270sqft.

Empty office room with large frosted windows, a double bass leaning against the wall, a black music stand, a small table with potted plants, and a wall poster with the word 'Execution' in bold.
