practice room

Where musicians prepare

A practice room is a small, usually soundproofed space where musicians rehearse.

Music schools and conservatories have banks of them, each equipped with a piano or music stand.

Students reserve practice rooms by the hour: I'll be in the practice room until six.

The term occasionally extends to any dedicated space for repetitive skill-building.
