New types of music are beginning to demand new approaches to music rooms and buildings. Records, radio and television have been changing listening habits and expectations during the last twenty years to a degree little recognized by musicians or behavioral scientists.

The trend is toward continuing metamorphosis of performance media, and more varied demands on the acoustic environment.
