Hi Luis/Stephen,

Re Acoustic education for music performance students.

I've just read a summary in the IoA bulletin which states that "it appears that this initiative has never been considered or implemented before".

I studied BSc Physics at The University of Edinburgh, 2005-2009. All Music students were expected to complete the course 'Musical Acoustics 1A' taught by Profs. Murray Campbell and Clive Greated, which contained basic acoustic principles.

Hope that is of use in your research.

Best wishes,
