Rooms for music education have specific requirements, in particular, from the point of view of its acoustic behavior. However, Regulation of Acoustic Requirements of Buildings establishes requirements for school buildings but does not consider the specificity of music schools buildings. Furthermore, there are music schools in buildings that were not constructed for such purpose and it is necessary to rehabilitate acoustically these buildings.
The present communication aims to present the diagnosis of specific problems in buildings for music education in Algarve and it is presented the point of view of their teachers. The aim is thus to contribute to solving these problems. Thus we want to contribute to improve the teaching-learning process in existing music schools and simultaneously to contribute to avoid the repetition of problematic situations in the future
