Abstract

The members of the Technical Committee on Musical Acoustics (TCMU) of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) have demonstrated their commitment to education in acoustics regularly by organizing and cosponsoring numerous education-related sessions at ASA meetings. Musical acoustics as a topic for general education science courses is a popular offering at many colleges and universities. A brief survey of the musical acoustics course offerings at various colleges is presented. Many of these courses are taught by instructors who have not interacted with TCMU members or attended ASA meetings. It is possible that the musical acoustics community is missing out on opportunities to interact with a population of educators who share our interests. Our community should be looking for ways to engage the instructors of musical acoustics courses in dialogue which is mutually beneficial; members of the TCMU may find that they will discover new ideas for teaching musical acoustics from beyond the ASA membership.
