Facilities include two large rehearsal halls, a small recital hall, two chamber music rooms, thirty practice rooms (including those for organ and percussion), four music classrooms, and an electronic music studio. The Canadian Centre for Ethnomusicology houses the Qureshi collection of field recordings, and a large and growing collection of regional music documentation. The University library holds a complete collection of the Smithsonian Folkways ethnomusicology resource as well as other non-Western music recordings. The department of music education organises summer programs leading to a Kodály certificate (two levels), the Orff Schulwerk certificates (various levels) and a Dalcroze workshop. There is a community outreach program (mUseofA) whereby music students perform in nursing homes, aged-care homes, hospitals, public schools, unemployment centres, prisons and the like.
