1- Date/Time/Location.
2.26.13/3:30pm/Monroe Hall (Practice Rooms)
This location was interesting to me because (even though they say they are) the rooms are definitely not sound proof, and you can hear others practicing, but when I was listening to the sounds closest to me, in my practice room, the other sounds seemed to disappear.

2- Identify and list the sounds farthest away from you.
Indistinct piano music, Someone opening a door in the hallway, someone speaking unintelligibly

3- Identify and list the sounds at medium range from you.
A locker closing, Two girls speaking, one saying something about how she “sounded very good.”

4- Identify and list the sounds closest to you.
My fingers sliding up and down the piano keys (not pushing them down), my own breathing.

5- Describe the general sound level and amount of sound activity.
Medium to low.  Lower in my practice room, but more active in the hallway.

6- Assign a one word description to the “sound environment”.
Multifarious.

7- Select and list 3 sounds which are essential to the sound environment.
The indistinct piano, The girl speaking, My own breathing
