The Centre has numerous practice and teaching rooms and is well equipped with pianos, harps, a harpsichord, a chamber organ and percussion and other instruments. The library in nearby Old College houses the extensive sheet-music collection, which has a particularly strong holding of chamber and orchestral music. A good stock of music books can be found in the Hugh Owen Library - and, of course, the enormous resources of the National Library of Wales are close at hand. Several residential halls have pianos and facilities for individual and group practice. Described as 'A National Flagship for the Arts', it is a major venue for international artists, as well as local performers, with a programme rich in orchestral concerts, recitals, opera and drama.
Special rates are available to students.
One particularly attractive package is membership of Aberystwyth Music Club , which gives entry to a series of first-class concerts for a very low subscription. The Centre's enterprising education programme offers a huge range of courses and workshops. In music these can range from samba drumming and electric guitar to music theory and composition. Each summer the Arts Centre and the University are hosts to Musicfest , one of Britain's leading music festivals. The University Wind Band offers wind and percussion players the chance to experience the full range of the wind band repertoire.
