Music and Dance Building
The Music and Dance Building in the Longsworth Arts Village contains classrooms, practice rooms, a recital hall, an aural training lab, a computer music studio, and an eight-track recording studio. Other campus resources include the Harold F. Johnson Library’s collection of books, scores, periodicals, films, videos, and recordings. Extensive music collections of the Five College libraries are also available to Hampshire students.

Hampshire College Chorus
Ensembles include the Hampshire College Chorus, which presents a major program every semester, several jazz groups, old time music and contradance bands, and a steel band ensemble. Student-organized bands and music groups in jazz, folk, pop, rock, punk, and a capella, to name just a few, are integral to the music program. The music program supports these endeavors through providing rehearsal space, performance venues, and coaching.

Five College Instrumental Groups
Several instrumental groups at the other colleges are open to Hampshire students by audition, including the Five College Early Music Program, the University Orchestra, and the Amherst College Jazz Ensemble.

The larger Five College music community is a rich one, with hundreds of musical performances a year sponsored by the colleges and opportunities to hear or play music in numerous local clubs. Private lessons are also available as part of the Five College consortium. The Alan Garely Scholarship fund helps offset the cost of private lessons for Division II and III music concentrators; other funding sources are also available.

Early Music Program
Through the Early Music Program, a faculty of distinguished performers and scholars at the Five Colleges, together with the program director, make it possible for students to participate in a wide variety of experiences in the study and performance of music of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Baroque Era.
