Özet
Acoustic designers must consider many factors when configuring music classrooms. Designing room acoustics to complement the specific properties of different musical instruments yields more successful acoustic arrangements. To design a piano-specific music classroom, this study compares three different panel layouts with the resonance frequencies of a piano to examine room acoustic parameters and demonstrate compatibility. Twenty-five piano players completed surveys before and after the installation of three distinct panel layouts. The subsequent analysis compared these statistical results with objective acoustic parameters. The evaluation assessed clarity, reverberation, warmth, diffusion, loudness, background noise, and echo against objective targets. Participants preferred designs offering greater bass audibility. Musicians perceive frequencies that are compatible with the room and piano resonance frequencies.
