Emphasizing hands-on learning, the course engages students through practical problem-solving and demonstrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orzolek says the Wenger Guides they use \u2013 <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/Lit\/Wenger_Acoustics%20Primer_PG_LT0055.pdf\">\u2022 Acoustics Primer<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/Lit\/Wenger_Acoustic%20Problems%20and%20Solutions_PG_LT0153.pdf\">\u2022 Acoustic Problems &amp; Solutions<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/Lit\/Wenger_Performance%20Spaces_PG_LT0337.pdf\">\u2022 Performance Spaces Planning Guide<\/a><br> \u2013 provide students with a solid foundational understanding of room acoustics. The course builds on that knowledge, challenging students with questions like: How would you redesign your bedroom to make it better for sound? How would you improve our classroom to make it better for a string quartet? How would you change the floor? What would you do with the windows?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;We always marvel at how much our students appreciate the Planning Guides. I cannot thank Wenger enough,\u201d he says.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sound-reflection-bar-1024x256.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-481\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sound-reflection-bar-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sound-reflection-bar-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sound-reflection-bar-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sound-reflection-bar-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sound-reflection-bar.jpg 1584w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The significant emphasis on room acoustics reflects both student interest and the practical necessity for musicians to transmit sounds effectively and expressively in various spaces. The curriculum balances theoretical knowledge and practical applications, covering concepts ranging from resonance and reflection to sound quality, sound isolation and hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Addressing Hearing Loss<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlong with room acoustics, hearing loss is the other topic students tend to focus on,\u201d notes Orzolek, who adds that the current generation of college students is predicted to have the most hearing loss of any generation because they are always plugged in. He believes room acoustics and hearing loss are interrelated. \u201cWe ask students if they are protecting themselves with ear plugs when they go to clubs, bars, concerts, sport games and other potentially loud events.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Designing Home Studios<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Orzolek sees a trend of more students today interested in how to design their own home music studio. Nearly all students in the course have a home studio including computers, keyboards, bass, monitors, speakers, amps, etc. They are using these studios for composing, writing, practicing and other activities. \u201cOur Musical Acoustics course helps them design their home studio and consider how sound moves around the space,\u201d he remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/home-studio-bar-1024x256.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/home-studio-bar-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/home-studio-bar-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/home-studio-bar-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/home-studio-bar-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/home-studio-bar.jpg 1584w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key course component is a field exercise where students leave the classroom to evaluate various performance spaces and classrooms on the UST campus. Students apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios by taking measurements, completing calculations and making subjective assessments. This hands-on experience is crucial for understanding room acoustics in a practical context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While expressing appreciation to Wenger for widely sharing its expertise through these Planning Guides, Orzolek also tell students about the company\u2019s importance to music education overall. \u201cWenger has made a huge impact \u2013 their music stands and chairs are found in nearly every school district across the country,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/products-bar-1024x256.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/products-bar-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/products-bar-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/products-bar-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/products-bar-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/music-ed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/products-bar.jpg 1584w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: To access Wenger\u2019s Planning Guides, including those used in the UST course, click <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wengercorp.com\/checklists.php\"><em>here<\/em><\/a><em> and look under \u201cPlanning Guides\u201d for the complete list, including some foreign-language translations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The recently revised Planning Guide for School Music Facilities includes guidelines and checklists essential in planning an effective secondary school Music Suite.
