Instruments and Storage

Lending and storage of musical instruments for Dartmouth students is managed through the Hopkins Center.

Please note: Due to the logistics surrounding the Hopkins Center renovation, instruments and storage will only be available to students who are (1) actively participating in or auditioning for a Hop Ensemble, (2) actively enrolled in or auditioning for an Individual Instruction Program course (lessons), or (3) enrolled in a MUS 50 Performance Laboratory or another music course that requires an instrument.

To borrow an instrument from the collections of the Hopkins Center Ensembles, or to request access to student instrument storage in the basement of the Sudikoff Laboratory, please fill out and submit the Hopkins Center's Instrument Request Form and/or Instrument Storage Request Form. If approved for an instrument and/or storage access, you will receive an email from Sarah McCorkle (sarah.l.mccorkle@dartmouth.edu) with further instructions.

If your student band on campus rehearses in Sudikoff, the Department of Music can give you access to a secure room where you may store amps, drum kits, and other equipment. For more information and to request a key, please email music@dartmouth.edu.
