ANDY CORBIN: Hey, everybody.
My name's Andy Corbin.
I'm an admission counselor here at Bradley university,
and I'm also an alum of the music
department here at Bradley.
I'm going to show you a little bit about what's
going on with our music department
and show you some of the buildings
that you can actually take classes in,
you can be in performing groups and view part of those,
it's awesome.
So let's head on inside Constance hall, one of my most
Instagrammed halls here on campus.
It actually used to be a women's dorm back in the 1930s.
But then, they re-did it and now it's
full of practice rooms and offices for faculty,
and also some classrooms.
So let's head on inside.
And there's always students in here.
Hi, we're live on Facebook.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi Facebook.
This is the student lounge here in Constance hall.
A lot of students hang out there literally all day long, all
hours of the day.
That's also where students will grab a bite
to eat and hang out with friends,
and then also do like homework and stuff
so they can really collaborate and be together.
It's kind of like a big family here in the music department.
Over here on the right, there's a class going on,
so we don't want to be too loud.
This is one of the classrooms happening in Constance hall.
It's probably music theory or actually, it
looks like music history.
So one of my favorite classes, for sure.
Let's head on upstairs.
I'll show you guys a practice room.
Hi again, everybody.
Bye.
So Constance hall is definitely one of the most beautiful
buildings here on campus.
I absolutely love it.
This is where I spent most of my time
here on campus, in one of these practice rooms,
more specifically.
Follow me this way.
Here, you'll see some offices.
Dr. Orfe, Molly Sloder, one of my favorite people
in the world.
Her office is right there.
And hopefully, my favorite practice room will be open.
It's occupied.
But it's actually really cool.
You can take a look inside.
This practice room has lockers in it,
so students can actually keep their instruments here
in the music building instead of lugging them back and forth
from their dorm back and forth.
So it's really nice.
There's also some practice rooms along here.
And Constance has four floors full of practice rooms.
So you'll usually find one pretty easily, which is great.
Let's head back on downstairs, and then I'm
going to actually walk you guys over
to Dingledine Music Center.
So you can see where some of our performing groups
actually do performances.
It looks like SAI is selling something over here.
What are you guys doing today?
Tickets to the SAI performance.
Nice.
When is it?
March 3rd.
It's a Friday.
Very cool.
You guys have a good day.
You too.
OK, so it looks like we have a question.
Yes, Pablo asks, are practice rooms
only open to music students?
They are not.
It is usually that music students
have priority over them because they
have to prepare for rehearsals or recitals and things
like that.
So usually, music students have first choice.
But they are open to students.
If you know have to play piano or you have a guitar
and you don't want to bother anybody in the dorms,
it's a great place to go.
So as you can see, we're kind of outside
now in one of our quad-ish areas, I should say.
Over here, you'll see Olin hall.
This is where like a lot of the science classes are.
There's some great labs in there,
including a cadaver lab, which I've never
seen because I don't want to.
But apparently, it's really awesome
if you're into that sort of thing.
So campus is actually really, really small.
It's about three by three city blocks.
You can walk from one end to the other in about 10 minutes.
Let's not get hit by a car.
And we're actually headed to Dingledine Music Center, which
is actually one of the farthest buildings on campus,
or it's just a little bit off campus, I should say.
But you'll see that this walk is probably about three minutes.
So it's really easy to go from the music building
to Dingledine really easily.
On the left, you'll see Heuser Art Center.
This is where the art classes happen.
There's studio art, there's all sorts
of things that happen in there.
It's one of my favorite buildings,
because there's art literally everywhere,
sculptures and everything.
So it's really great.
So this is Bradley Avenue right here.
We see the nice Bradley flags hanging down the street.
And to the right is where all of the campus buildings are.
You can see Bradley hall through there in between Swords hall
and then Olin here.
So you can kind of get a layout of where we are on campus.
So we're going to be passing fraternity and sorority row.
It's on Fredonia Avenue.
That's where all of the fraternities and sororities
kind of have their houses.
There are a few not on that row, but for the most part,
they're on this.
If you guys have any questions, make
sure you comment on the comments section, anything
about fraternities, sororities, music.
Obviously, I know a little bit about that.
But also admissions, if you have any questions about getting
your enrollment deposit in, or housing deposit,
or how to choose a dorm, you can always
ask me that and I can get those questions answered for you.
We just turned onto Institute, and we're
going to be walking right toward Fredonia right now.
You can kind of see the houses over here.
So I'd say we're probably over half way to our destination.
And we've probably been walking for two minutes, maybe
three minutes.
you can see that campus is really small.
There's no need for buses to get you from one class to the next.
You can just kind of walk.
And it's really nice, because a lot of the academic buildings
are in a square-ish formation.
So I used to cut through a lot the buildings
to get to other buildings if it was like snowing,
or if it was just super cold.
Fortunately, right now in Illinois,
it's like 70 degree weather.
But that is not every February.
Usually, it's subzero at this point.
So if you're coming from California or something
like that, prepare.
Prepare yourself.
I had to wear a jacket today, but yesterday, we
were out here in like short sleeves and like shorts.
It was amazing.
OK, now, we're on Fredonia.
And you can kind of look both ways
and see the really great fraternities
and sororities here on campus.
And we'll look both ways and make sure
that we don't get hit by another car.
There's actually an elementary school right down there,
I'm assuming it's a bell for the elementary school.
It's really great, because a lot of our teaching majors,
elementary school majors, they'll
actually get an opportunity to work with students
at that elementary school and get
some real experiential learning, which is really great.
It's something that we love here at Bradley.
All right, we're actually kind of off campus right now,
even though it still kind of feels like we're on campus.
To the left, you'll see this is actually
see this is Dingledine Music Center.
We're going to go in through the front door,
and it's on Barker Avenue.
There's lots of houses on Barker Avenue where families live.
Some professors live in these houses.
But there's also an opportunity to rent some of these houses
if you're a student.
Starting your junior and senior year,
you're allowed to live off campus.
So students will move into this neighborhood
and have like an entire house with them
and like a couple of friends, which is really cool.
So this is actually the courtyard outside
of Dingledine.
And it's really great, because every year, the first few days
that school starts, they actually have a picnic out here
for all music majors.
So you can kind of introduce yourself to other music majors
and meet professors and everything like that.
And I was mentioning earlier that the music department is
like a big family, and it's absolutely true.
You actually really feel like you're with your family
when you're in your classes, which is really fun.
Someone else is trying to get in.
How's it going?
Good, how are you?
Doing great. you have a class in here?
I do.
Is it chorale?
Well, no.
I have women's choir.
Oh, women's choir.
All right, let's head on in.
After you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So there are lots of actual ensembles that practice
in here, as well as perform.
For instance, I was in chorale while I was here
at Bradley, chamber singers, there's women's choir.
I obviously wasn't a part of that.
Bradley symphonic band and symphonic winds
also perform in here, as well as the Bradley orchestra.
And then there's also just lots of little ensembles.
There's like a Renaissance ensemble
that will perform in here, as well as student recitals.
So let's head on in kind of take a look
at the actual performance space.
Let's go ahead on in.
So this actually used to be a church back in the early 1900s.
And in the 80s, Bradley actually bought the building and kind
of transformed it into this Music Center.
So you can take a look.
They're setting up for women's choir right now on stage.
Hi you guys.
Hi.
We're live on Facebook.
Wow.
So as you can see, there's lots of seating in here.
And up in the loft, there's actually
original pews from when this was a church back
in the early 1900s.
And actually, Sunday, February 26th, this place
is going to house the Bradley symphonic winds.
They're doing a John Philip Sousa concert.
They do one every other year here at Bradley.
And Dr. Roman, director of bands,
actually dresses up like John Philip Sousa and the band
does a like historically accurate John Philip Sousa
concert.
It's really cool to see.
And if you're on campus that day for some reason,
you should definitely check it out.
It's worth checking out.
We're going to head downstairs and see
where the Bradley symphonic winds and Bradley
symphonic band rehearse.
So now, we're kind of behind the scenes,
and we're going to run into students here.
So I just want to warn you.
Oh, no.
OK, great.
So most students enter through this door.
The public is not allowed to enter through there,
but students do to get to their classes.
And then this is the band room where rehearsals happen.
So I was in symphonic winds when I was here at Bradley.
I was a trumpet player.
So I sat right in here.
There's lots of great ways to get involved here
on campus with music.
It's really great, because you don't have to be a music major
to be a part of any ensemble here on campus.
So if you're an engineer or you're a nursing major,
it doesn't matter.
You can be in the top ensembles for band and choir.
If you want to be in the musical, that's also an option.
There's just lots of ways to get involved here on campus.
So thank you for going on the tour with me
of some of the music of buildings here on campus.
And if you do have any questions,
you can always give us a call at the admission office.
It's 309-677-1000.
And you can comment on questions on here as well,
and we'll get back to you.
Thank you so much.
Have a great day.
