This beautifully illustrated volume takes the reader on a
wide-ranging tour through music education facilities designed
during the past 20 years, with a particular emphasis on the
acoustical and architectural design of the locations. The book
opens with a series of essays from key design team members,
including an acoustical consultant, architect, audio/video systems
consultant, and theatre consultant. The main body of the work
consists of a rich array of contributions from acoustical
consulting firms and music education facility designers from across
the world on their recent innovative works in the area of music
education facility acoustics. Each entry includes high-resolution
photos and renderings, scientific data, and evocative descriptions
of the music education facilities. Filled with beautiful
photography and fascinating modern design, this book is a must-read
for anyone interested in music education architecture, acoustical
design, or musical performance. "This new publication on design of
music education facilities is highly welcomed. Not only does it
present many acoustically interesting projects, it also gives an
up-to-date introduction to the scientific knowledge and design
practice in this field. The book also helps the reader to
understand why it is so important to ensure good acoustic
conditions in music education facilities: to nourish students at
all levels to achieve their goals as musicians." - Anders Chr.
Gade, Ph.D., senior consultant at Gade & Mortensen Akustik and
author of Acoustics in Halls for Speech and Music (chapter in
Springer Handbook of Acoustics) "This book ensures the reader will
see the full vocabulary of elemental solutions to broad challenges.
The expected concert halls, rehearsal spaces, and practice rooms
are joined by newer, essential components: recording studios,
control rooms, vocal booths, beat labs, and more. This media-rich
publication enables detailed study while motivating big picture,
interdisciplinary thinking. This new book curates and beautifully
structures a deep store of outstanding architectural achievements
that are sure to kindle the creation of future successful music
education facilities." - Alex U. Case, Associate Professor of Sound
Recording Technology at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and
author of Sound FX - Unlocking the Creative Potential of Recording
Studio Effects "This book is a wonderful collection of music
education facilities. The narratives and images provide a wealth of
information for the casual reader, student in acoustics, architect,
owner/educator, and acoustician. Primary schools through
universities are not often studied and reviewed. Finding a thorough
collection of these space types is rare. This book is recommended
for anyone who is studying, designing, or enjoys reading about
music education facilities." - Jason Duty, P.E., Vice President at
Charles M. Salter Associates, Inc.
