The Clare & Josef Meier Hall
The BHSU music program is proud to be housed in one of the finest music performance and education facilities in the region, Clare and Josef Meier Hall. Completed in September 2003, it is a beautiful and impressive 3-story building. All music rooms in the building were designed to maximize student music learning.
The first floor of the building includes a 260-seat recital hall, 15 soundproof student practice rooms with windows, an acoustically designed band room and choir room, several large teaching studios, a special elementary music classroom, and lockers exclusively for music student use. Meier Hall’s ample private practice space alleviates the “practice room crunch” that plagues many universities, allowing you to practice at times that fit into your schedule. The second floor of the building has a classroom designated for music, a large keyboard and computer room, a recording studio, a video/recording library, and a large study area with comfortable chairs and a large window.
Within Meier Hall are eighteen upright pianos for classroom, studio, and practice room use, and two new Yamaha grand pianos in the Recital Hall. There are also band instruments for student use. All classrooms are equipped with a computer with internet access; stereo systems; DVD and VCR players; a video projector; a document projector; a large screen; and a white board. The building is open Monday-Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Students who are enrolled in music classes and all faculty have a special card that provides access to the building on evenings and weekends.
When it comes to performing, Meier Hall shines as one of the most elegant performance venues in the region. The Meier Recital Hall hosts all music program recitals and performances, giving you a chance to perform in a cutting edge performance hall on a regular basis, without ever leaving campus. With performance experience as a must for any music major, Meier Hall is a great place to hone your skills on a stage that rivals any professional hall.
