	“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.” Peter French head of music. lancaster and morecambe college

paul ineson senior lecturer and events manager. lancaster and morecambe college Lancaster and Morecombe College discovered that by installing three Music Practice Rooms, the college not only made more effective use of available space, but also enabled them to reach out to support musicians in the local community.

Head of Music at Lancaster and Morecombe College, Pete French explained that “this is only the third year we have been running this course and we required proper facilities. There was a need for music practice rooms because we had facilities that were a little bit outdated and we wanted something new to accommodate the new course that we are building on.” Describing the new suite of music practice rooms supplied and installed by Black Cat Music he said, “the facility used to be a lecture theatre, it was just one space we could use, fortunately now we've got three spaces. The music practice rooms are being used every day with all three year groups time tabled in they are getting maximum use. We also have some work with an outside community organisation called ‘More Music in Morecombe’ 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 opportunity for other local musicians to hire the facilities is also important for the college within the community.
