New York City

Since 1979, The Music Building has been the largest NYC rehearsal space. With 69 rehearsal studios exclusively leased to musicians of all genres on a monthly basis, the building has become the rehearsal space for independent music creation in New York City. Located on 38th street and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, the Music Building’s rehearsal space is accessible to artists from all regions of the Tri-State area due to its proximity to the Port Authority and existing subway stations in the neighborhood.

As the first stop in the music creation process, the Music Building has consistently been viewed by the music community as an integral part of their trade-craft. Prior to reaching stardom, artists such as Madonna, Blondie, Billy Idol, and Metallica, rehearsed and refined their first hits in our music rehearsal space. The inspiring vibe and community aspect of The Music Building has been a contributing factor to the mutual loyalty that exists between musicians and the Building. The community aspect is not one commonly found in NYC rehearsal spaces. There is a reason so many superstars have made The Music Building their rehearsal studio of choice.
