Book excerpt: Through the lens of the acoustician, this book explores more than 60 rooms and buildings designed for music education. These new and renovated spaces are presented as acoustics case studies organized into Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education spaces for music students, or learned musicians, as well as Conservatories and Community Music Centers. Twenty-one firms contributed to this compendium, providing detailed descriptions, full-color photographs, architectural drawings, and acoustical data. The result is a compelling and comprehensive perspective on the evolution of architecture and acoustics over the past twenty years. This compendium also includes an overview of acoustical design as it pertains to music education facilities, and several essay reflections from key design-team members spanning architecture, soundscapes, technology, and the use of acoustics to support students. The book concludes with several appendices, including a glossary of common acoustics and architectural terms, and indices for easy reference.
