Rehearsal Space in NYC: 584 8th Ave, Midtown Manhattan
The Music Building is New York City’s largest rehearsal space, with 69 studios leased exclusively to musicians on a monthly basis. Since 1979, it has been the first stop in the music-creation process for artists across the Tri-State area, on 8th Avenue at 38th Street, steps from Port Authority and major subway lines.
Before reaching stardom, Madonna, Blondie, Billy Idol, and The Strokes rehearsed and refined their early material here. The community that formed around the building, rare among NYC rehearsal spaces, is a large part of why so many artists have made it their studio of choice.
