Sound Isolation Company Provided Soundproofing Design for Renovation of Harmonic Music Studios in Washington, DC

Online, June 27, 2014 (Newswire.com) - The mission of Harmonic Music Studios is to offer music lessons and performances to the greater DC community. Harmonic Music Studios is located in the Chevy Chase Arcade, a prestigious shopping venue named on the United States Register of Historic Places. The challenges of renovation in historic buildings combined with the acoustic and privacy demands imposed by the existing building created a unique challenge for the company.

Sound Isolation Company was contacted to provide on-site consulting and to design an acoustical and soundproofing solution for the client and the contractor. After a review of the space, Sound Isolation Company provided a plan and details for contractors, along with direct communication and project management during the six-month renovation.

"There were three priorities for Harmonic Music Studios to operate successfully in the space; soundproofing to prevent neighboring businesses from complaining, room acoustics to provide a suitable learning environment for the students, and the prevention of sounds bleeding from one classroom to another," explained Jody Cook, President of Sound Isolation Company. "Working with the client and the contractor we were able to facilitate a comprehensive acoustical design. We provided ongoing support as complications arose while working in a 100-year-old building."

Harmonic Studios became operational in March and has seen steady growth in the number of students and lessons taught per week. The foundation continues to provide creative community enrichment activities to the Chevy Chase community. Music and arts are only a part of the education they provide to children and adults on a regular basis.
