Amen.

I spent some time in the spring teaching at a secondary school. The room acoustics were appalling to the point that if I absolutely needed to communicate something to the kids I'd just write it on the board. This is fine for visual learners but rubbish for the other learning types.

One class for WW1 poetry I showed the kids an episode from Blackadder. I sat in the back to watch it with them and realised I couldn't understand half of what they said. Since this is an international school half the kids are ESL so they missed a lot of the jokes.

Thanks, that was an excellent talk on sound architecture! I'm going to pass it on to the chair of the sound department at CUNY. He's been rallying to improve the acoustics there even further.

Love that Booby McFerrin musical "brain hack" too. One of my long-time favorites. That Brian Zander is a good one too. A lot of great sound talks on there, really.
