Over the past three years, music classes have been held in various buildings and rooms, including Roosevelt Hall, the Memorial Union and South Morse Hall. Beginning this fall, Beach will again be the hub of music courses. Instructional vocal and instrumental classes will remain in Roosevelt Hall, where rehearsals are held, until the Shepherd Music Center, a new addition to Beach, is finished. The new addition will be complete in the middle of the fall semester and dedicated in April. But for now, it will not be uncommon to hear near-melodic staccato hammering and the crescendo of an electric drill as the work more than 20 years in wait is completed.
