Devoted primarily to undergraduate study, the School of Music is steadfastly committed to providing the highest level of music education. Students benefit from a superb blend of excellent faculty, innovative programs, varied options, and outstanding facilities. The four-story Walter Ford Hall houses a 750-seat recital hall, 94 practice rooms, recording facilities, and three electronic music studios. In addition, it has a full complement of concert and practice pianos and organs as well as wind, percussion, and string instruments. The City of Ithaca The City of Ithaca is a cosmopolitan and friendly community of 29,000. Residents take justifiable pride in excellent restaurants, the natural beauty of the area's many waterfalls and gorges, the charm of historic buildings, and the wide variety of summer events. From free concerts on the downtown Ithaca Commons to walks through Cornell's bird sanctuary, Ithaca offers visitors the best of both the cultural and natural worlds. Moreover, within easy driving distance are other Finger Lakes attractions--dinner cruises on Cayuga and Seneca Lakes, award-winning wineries, the Watkins Glen International Raceway, Corning's world renowned glass museum, Mark Twain's burial site and the place where he wrote some of his best-known works, several excellent summer theaters, art museums, shopping outlets, and antique shops. Airline and Bus Service Ithaca is served by Greyhound Bus Lines, as well as by several airlines at the Tompkins County Airport. Limousine service is available from the airport, and taxis and city buses serve the campus from the Greyhound terminal. Hancock International Airport in Syracuse is approximately 60 miles north of Ithaca.
