The department of Music is located on the second floor of Gaither Hall, which features the beautiful Gaither Chapel. An excellent acoustical setting, the 64-year-old stone and glass chapel is the main performing hall for all choral groups, solo recitals, and concerts. The Fellowship Hall in Gaither serves as an important smaller venue for special musical occasions. The Chapel of the Prodigal also offers a splendid acoustical environment and hosts the largest Allen organ in an educational institution in North Carolina.

Organ students learn on Montreat College's Baroque tracker-style Beckerath organ and the new Allen Digital Electronic Organ in the Chapel of the Prodigal.

Eight digital workstations challenge and stimulate students taking classes in Music, Visual Art, Spanish or French. The Fine Arts and Languages computer lab is a state-of-the-art facility that contains computerized materials for instruction in music reading, sight-singing, ear training, and orchestration. There is also a scanner for scanning music for importing into a MIDI program for use with MIDI keyboards. The main campus computer lab provides students much of the same software and access to the Internet to assist in research and learning.

Gaither Choral Room is a multi-purpose facility that provides teaching and rehearsal space for college music and drama groups.

The College offers a number of new, well-lit, sound-isolated practice rooms. Most are equipped with a new Yamaha piano.
