The teaching facilities of the School of Music are located in Gray Building and in the new School of Music Complex. Spaces include the Judy and Bill Watson Chamber Music Hall, Crawford Hall, Hood Recital Hall, studios, practice rooms, offices, rehearsal rooms and classrooms, as well as piano laboratories for classroom instruction. The school occupies the first floor of the Gray Building in its entirety and a large portion of the second floor, which houses specially constructed teaching studios.

Completed in 2003, the School of Music Complex features a 300-seat chamber music hall, administrative offices, teaching studios and rehearsal spaces.

One wing of the complex is comprised of The Judy and Bill Watson Chamber Music Hall, designed by renowned acoustician Rein Pirn, whose credits include Spivey Hall in Atlanta. The hall is complemented by a lobby, box office, the Robert Yekovich reception room and dressing rooms.

The academic wing houses administrative offices for the School of Music and includes teaching studios, a conference room, a large ensemble rehearsal room, and an opera/choral rehearsal room. All rehearsal rooms and studios are designed for maximum acoustical suitability.

Funding for the complex came from the $42.5 million higher education bonds, passed by N.C. voters in the fall of 2000.

The Stevens Center, located in downtown Winston-Salem, serves as a major performance center for the School of Music. This historic 1,380-seat theatre features state-of-the-art stage, electronic and sound equipment; rehearsal and warm-up rooms; dressing rooms; and sound, light and projection booths.

Crawford Hall is the oldest performance venue on the UNC School of the Arts campus and has the largest audience capacity. It originally served as the Gray High School auditorium. Today Crawford Hall is one of the principle venues of the School of Music. Each Wednesday during the academic year the School of Music produces an hour long program of the finest student performers. The hall is also used for student recitals, master classes and workshops. Crawford Hall is also the only on-campus venue large enough to accommodate orchestral performances.

Crawford Hall, a 590-seat concert auditorium, houses the Sarah Graham Kenan Organ (designed specifically for Crawford Hall by Charles Fisk), a Dowd harpsichord, a Hamburg Steinway concert grand piano, and a Baldwin concert grand piano.

Chamber and solo recitals are presented in the more intimate Hood Recital Hall, which has 60 seats.

The School of Music maintains two studios dedicated to electronic music and film music composition. Each studio is equipped with advanced state-of-the-art digital/MIDI instruments including Kurzweil K2500 and K2000rs, Roland JV 1080 and Yamaha SY99. The studios use Mackie mixing boards with Power Macintosh computers running the latest versions of Digidesign Protools Project and Sample Cell digital audio, MOTU Digital Performer, Unisyn and Mosaic, EMagic SoundDiver and Passport Alchemy. Designed by Special Audio Services of New York, the film music studio is capable of meeting the demands of the professional film composer.
