Lancaster and Morecambe College discovered that by installing three Music Practice Rooms, the college not only made more effective use of available space, but also reached out to support musicians in the local community.

“The Music Practice Rooms have changed the whole nature of the course, because they are so sound-proofed. Before we had a big echoing lecture theatre; now we have three contained spaces. The students love them and yes, they work very effectively.”

Head of Music at Lancaster and Morecambe College, Pete French, was delighted with the new sound-isolating practice rooms: “The facility used to be a lecture theatre. It was just one space we could use; now we’ve got three spaces. The modules are being used every day with all three year groups time tabled in, so they are getting maximum use. We also have some work with an outside community organisation called ‘More Music in Morecambe’ who are now hiring them out on a Tuesday night, so we are getting use in the evenings as well, not just in the daytimes.”

The rooms, from MusicPracticeRooms.com, use a prefabricated panel design that is affordable, easy to install and allows rooms to be custom configured to suit available space. “We are very happy having them here,” continue Pete French. “The music practice rooms have changed the whole nature of the course, because they are so sound-proofed. Before we had a big echoing lecture theatre; now we have three contained spaces. The students love them and yes, they work very effectively.”
