Music Building

The Music Building was built in 1951, and offers 36 soundproof practice rooms with pianos, organs and percussion. The Concert Hall has a 545 person capacity and Music majors give free concerts and recitals during the semester. Free Listening Hours are held Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The Music Building houses the School of Music and Dance, the Spartan Marching Band, Concert Choirs, Symphonic Band, and Jazz Orchestra. The Music Department became the CSU's first School of Music in 1992. The school traces its history at SJSU from the earliest years when singing was taught to potential teachers. The school of music offers Annual Talent-based scholarships that total over $100,000 per year.
