Music Facilities

Shoreline College Music and Music Technology in the Bracken Building

As of April 2026, the Music and Music Technology programs at Shoreline College moved into the Bracken Building. This brand-new, purpose-built facility is designed with creativity, collaboration, and innovation in mind. This modern space will offer students an inspiring environment to grow their skills and explore new possibilities.

For Music Technology students, the new facility houses two recording studios with associated live tracking rooms, three small production/mixing rooms and two MIDI/computer labs that all feature equipment from Solid State Logic, including ORIGIN 32-channel and ORIGIN 16-channel inline analogue mixing consoles and dozens of SSL’s USB audio interfaces.

Our Music spaces include a large rehearsal room, small ensemble room, practice rooms, dedicated instruction rooms for piano, voice and instrumental music. 

Additionally, Bracken now hosts a dedicated performance space for our music ensembles.
