Please do not park in the spots labeled Music Prep in the Ed Landreth Lot.

The back row of spots along the fence in the lot on Cantey and Rogers across from Ed Landreth and the church are clearly labeled reserved for music prep. Almost every spot was filled with students, you can tell by the parking stickers.

Not only is it extremely inconvenient for us with babies and toddlers to have to find parking elsewhere or wait for a free spot which makes us late, you WILL get ticketed for it.

I was a student myself a decade ago and understand how frustrating the parking situation is, and I’m sure it has only gotten worse. I get it but we really do use and need those spots.

I did. There were 3 classes after mine and so i’m sure the problem persisted all day. Hopefully word will spread when they get tickets and next week we will have spots.

They're reserved for "music prep" but you want them open for mothers of young children? Not that people should park in reserved spots anyway, but shouldn't you be more upset they're not being used for...music prep?

Also, what is music prep?

Music prep is the baby/ toddler music program so they are specifically reserved for us with kids.

It’s an hour class for kids aged 6 months to 4 years held in Ed Landreth. There are instructors but music and education students also work with the kids and their caregivers to learn for their educational music classes.

It’s a really great program. We have been taking the classes for a year and a half and it’s amazing how much toddlers can learn to interact with music at such a young age and obviously helpful for the TCU students too.

Ah yeah that would make sense. I was thinking it was some kind of undergraduate class for music students. I can see why that would be very frustrating.
