Second Floor

Almost as busy as the third floor, the second floor of CalArts houses a mix of production and fabrication spaces, as well as places used by every student like the Library, the Writing Center, the Bijou Cinema, the Student Union, the CalArts Store, and Tatum Lounge/Coffee Bar.

Tabla Room

Focusing heavily on vocalization and syllable recitation, students study North Indian classical music holistically, building advanced technical skills with ragas, talas, sruti, and microtones. Students are immersed in performance, theory, transcription, and analysis to gain practical skills for maintaining, repairing, and tuning instruments.
