Before January 2010, students could check their emails and play on games (not in lesson time, of course) in the music department, but now they have implented a spying method very much like the one used in the rest of the school. They log every keystroke your computer makes, even if you don't have word or the internet open and you're just randomly tapping on the desktop. If you type any 'offensive' words, your account is automatically flagged up on the 'uber-computer'. This proves very amusing when you type words such as cl'''ass'''ical, b'''ass''', '''homo'''phonic and '''anal'''ysis.

It's the place where the musical people of the school, as well as many of the Music teachers live, leaving only briefly for food, sunlight, fresh air, some "peace and quiet" or to perform their art to the rest of the school, often forcibly. There is always something you can do, and always a band you can join. If you are good at a musical instrument then Music can be a great lesson for you, and most of the Music Department will like you. If you don't think you are particularly musically talented, turn up anyway, and wave your arms around enthusiastically. Jazz hands are also useful.
