Constructed in 1974-75, the Eddy Music Center is the first campus building devoted completely to the teaching of music.
The Center is home to eight practice rooms with grand pianos, music faculty offices and studios, classrooms and a large rehearsal hall.
Most students have access to CD-equipped listening stations, MIDI/recording studio, computer-assisted instruction in aural skills, electronic piano laboratory, five-rank Schlicker practice organ and a full complement of orchestra instruments.
Alma offers bachelor of music and bachelor of arts degrees in the performing arts. Students can participate in several performance organizations:

Funds for the construction of the building were made available from the estate of Mrs. Sara Eddy of Flint, and the facility is named in her honor.
