Facilities include a well-equipped electronic music studio, an electroacoustic laboratory and the EUM library which has 180 musical instruments available to students, 25 active journal subscriptions and a collection of 20,500 scores and parts, including Uruguayan and Latin-American pieces. There are two chamber orchestras that give concerts throughout Uruguay, and a prestigious percussion group ‘Perceum' which has been frequently invited to international concerts and workshops.
