Webster Music Rehearsal Rooms

The Robert Webster Building has seven small practice rooms and six large rehearsal rooms that are available to students enrolled in a Bachelor of Fine Arts program (single or double) or Bachelor of Music Honours program.

If you notice any equipment missing or damaged, please report it to the SAM office - (02) 9385 4856. 

Non-music students

It may be worth your while to join Arc - UNSW Student Life for FREE. They have music rooms available to students to hire.

External stakeholders

Unfortunately, we can no longer permit external hiring to our guests due to UNSW policies.

  • https://studentbookings.arts.unsw.edu.au/

    All students enrolled in the Bachelor of Fine Arts (single or double) degree(s) and Bachelor of Music Honours are automatically provided with swipe access to these rooms on their student card. 

    These rooms are available to book from 8.30am to 9.30pm, seven days a week.  

    Bookings are restricted to two hours per day, per student. 

  • These music rooms, though primarily teaching spaces, can be booked by students for larger ensemble practices or the use of the specialised instruments/ equipment kept in them. Bookings are restricted to two hours per day, per student and for Bachelor of Music students only. 

    To book these rooms, students must email, call or visit the School of the Arts & Media (SAM) Office, with your student card and provide the information below: 

    1. Student ID and your name. 
    2. Room, time and date. 
    3. Course/ ensemble you are practising for. 
    4. Names of other students in the room with you. 
    5. What instruments will be used inside the room. 

    Email or call (02) 9385 4856

    If you wish to book a larger room after hours, this must be negotiated with SAM office staff. You must make your request before midday Wednesday for the following Friday to Friday period. (For example, if you were booking for week 4, you would need to make your request by midday Wednesday week 3). 

    We will do what we can to accommodate you, but please do not take after hours bookings for granted as we will not book out rooms after hours if instruments/ equipment within are damaged or vandalized. 

    For after-hour access, please email the school office the information above. Once permission is granted you will receive a confirmation email. The school office will then notify security to grant you access to the large practice rooms. Please contact security at 02 9385 6000 to be let into the rooms.
