Eve Journal 2 

DATE: 02/21/2022

TIME: 9:00 am 

LOCATION of the sound environment: Dempster Dance Studio Hofstra 

  • Identify and list the sounds farthest away from you.

The farthest sound that I was able to hear was the noise of people chatting in the hallway and the shutting of the stairs door.

  • Identify and list the sounds at a medium range from you. 

Medium sounds were the sounds of my teachers chatting in the office inside the studio. The noise of the wind and one tree hitting the window of the studio.  

  • Identify and list the sounds closest to you (You can include internal sounds if noticed or relevant).

My peers talking, some steps and the noise of dancers turning on the floor with their feet, the music from the piano, the speakers making some loud noises, and my teacher giving instructions 

  • Describe the general sound level and amount of sound activity.

Sound level outside was a little loud which is why we had to shut the door, inside was always high level and consistent. The amount of sound activity was consistent since there was a lot going on and because people are always either walking, talking, or creating sounds because of the environment we are in, a dance studio and a communications building.  

  • Assign a one word description to the “sound environment”.

Consistent

  • Select and list 3 sounds which are essential to the sound environment. 
  • Music from the piano and other instruments such as drums.
  • Sound of the dancers turning on the sticky floor.
  • Sound of the teacher giving instructions
