Sometimes, when you are in a hurry to find a practice room, you may find the music stand has wandered to another location. We recommend that everyone bring with them a portable (foldable) music stand, one that you can carry in your backpack or instrument case so that you are ready to practice at any time, without the need to spend extra practice time searching for a music stand.<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase a music stand at the Eastman School Bookstore. If you want to reserve a music stand for purchase when you arrive on campus, call the Eastman Bookstore at 585-274-1399 or email the bookstore at <a href=\"mailto:bksrochestereastman@bncollege.com\">bksrochestereastman@bncollege.com<\/a>. You can \u201ctake a stand\u201d and pay for it in the Miller Center building during regular store hours.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;University IT Information&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1690916672350-856febae-4bd7&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>University Information Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>University Information Technology provides IT services and support to enhance your education and campus experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technology Equipment for New Students<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The University of Rochester has <a href=\"https:\/\/tech.rochester.edu\/university-departments\/\">technology recommendations<\/a> for enrolling new students.
