What is your 'Home Studio' Like? - 03/07/11 01:56 PM
Hey everyone!
I am in the process of (possibly) buying a new house. So far so good, but now we need the home inspection...
Anyway, I've taught at my home for the past few years now. I have a lovely baby grand that I keep in my living room, which has nice, old, hardwood floors.
This new house we're looking at, has carpet in the area I want my studio to be. At first glance we just said we'd rip it up and put hardwood in, but when we went to go look again we started feeling guilty, because it is nice, new carpeting.
Ideally, we would all love to teach in a big empty room with high ceilings, and a hard floor, but that can't always be accommodated. Do you think it would be unwise to keep the carpet, and teach in that room? I know the sound quality will suffer a little, but the majority of my students are surely too young to even be able to tell the difference lol.
I also want to maintain a professional atmosphere, and hardwood is a lot 'classier' than carpet... did I mention it was green? :S
Thanks everyone!
