The teaching facilities of the Princeton Early Keyboard Center are located primarily in a set of studios on Nassau St. in Princeton, near Linden Lane. The instruments in the studios are three harpsichords and two clavichords. There are German, Flemish, and Italian harpsichords, and both fretted and unfretted clavichords.

Students using the Center have access to the use of several other stringed keyboard instruments and organs which are owned or supervised by colleagues and supporters of the Center.

All of the instruments are notable both for their authenticity and for their extraordinary sound. The harpsichords are all provided with wooden jacks and voiced with real bird quill, providing a sensitive touch and a beautiful sound, faithful to what the composers and performers of the Baroque period would have known.

All students ennrolled at the Center will have access to these instruments for practicing as well as for lessons. The studios are set up in such a way as to make it easy to move from one instrument to another during a practice session, in order to gain new perspectives on the music being studied..

The facilities of the Center include, in addition to the instruments, a small library of books and printed music, and a listening station with a broad collection of CD's of Baroque music.The books and music are available for students to borrow. The recordings are provided so that students may enrich their working knowledge of music, instruments, and performance in several ways. They include recordings made on well-restored antique instruments, so the students can hear the sounds of those instruments directly.They also include a variety of performances of many kinds of repertoire, to help students understand and appreciate many different perspectives on performance. They also, perhaps most importantly, include performances of non-keyboard music by the composers whose keyboard music students will be studying, to permit students to broaden their knowlege and understanding of the music being studied.
