Would you like to hear a fascinating lecture
on architectural acoustics?
In a typical lecture,
I start out with an explanation of architectural acoustics, and I discuss the importance of noise control to create a silent background in critical listening spaces.
I then discuss the importance of hearing sound in space.
With my violin, I demonstrate concretely the difference between acoustics for speech and for music, and reverberation.
I usually say a few words about the J.S. Bach Sonatas for Unaccompanied Violin, and play a movement or two.
I try to give one of these lectures at every one of my projects when it is completed.
If you would like any information about upcoming lectures, or if you would like me to speak for your organization,

"I was amazed at today's lecture. The lecturer for today was an acoustical
consultant as well as an extremely talented violin player. I learned a lot
about sound. For example, orchestra halls that are small have much better
acoustical properties than halls that are large. I was amazed at how well
the lecturer could hold my attention during the entire lecture. He was
lively and full of enthusiasm. He also made some very witty comments that I
found hilarious. I wish he was a Drexel professor. Also, I highly enjoyed
his 6 minute violin demonstration. Truly a talented man. I highly suggest
that this man return when this class is offered again. It is lectures like
this one that make Biomedical Engineers jealous of us when you tell them
about it.!"
