INVESTIGATION OF FELT THAT CAN BE USED AS INSULATION MATERIAL IN MUSIC EDUCATION ENVIRONMENTS

Music education is the process of acquiring certain musical behaviors through the individual's life purposefully. When the environments where music education is given are examined, the music departments of fine arts high schools, education faculties fine arts education department music teaching programs, art design faculties music departments, fine arts faculties music departments, conservatories, public education centers, art centers, sections of municipal conservatories reserved for music lessons, etc. appears to be. In order to provide music education in a healthy way, the noise level of the buildings where music education is given should be controlled and the buildings should have certain qualifications. Buildings, classrooms and concert halls should be designed with attention to be in a form that can have acoustic properties. With the advancement of technology and the discovery of new materials, important developments have begun to emerge in building materials. While all these developments (strength, flexibility, bendability, etc.) generally reflect positively on the properties of the material, they may cause some disadvantages, especially in terms of insulation and acoustics. However, the slow progress of the legislation related to insulation causes the development speed of the studies on building materials to decrease. Insulation is of great importance, especially in terms of achieving the purpose of educational buildings with musical functions. In this study, information was provided about wool, which is a textile material, and felt obtained from wool. Evaluations were made about the usability of wool and felt in music education environments. Keywords: Wool, felt, music education, ınsulation, textile
