Transforming Music Schools with Studiobricks
For music school owners and administrators looking to upgrade their facilities, modular soundproof booths are becoming one of the most practical investments available. Here is what you need to know.
The Acoustic Challenge Every Music School Faces
Anyone who runs a music school knows the problem: instruments are loud, rooms are shared, and sound travels. A student practising drums in one room disrupts a singing lesson next door. A recording session becomes unusable the moment a band starts rehearsing down the corridor. Students lose focus, teachers lose patience, and neighbours lose goodwill.
Traditional solutions, such as fixed acoustic construction, are expensive, disruptive to build, and permanent at a time when music school budgets and floorplans are rarely predictable. Renting larger premises to create natural separation between rooms is costly. Timetabling workarounds only go so far.
This is the problem that Studiobricks was designed to solve.
What Is Studiobricks?
Studiobricks is a modular, soundproof booth system originally developed in Barcelona by a musician who could not find an isolation solution that met professional acoustic standards. The result is a patented interlocking panel design that requires no specialist tools or tradespeople to assemble. A full booth can be built in a matter of hours using only a screwdriver, spirit level, and stepladder.
The booths achieve an average of 45 decibels of sound insulation, with double-walled construction as standard and triple-walled options available. Interior acoustic panels, made from recycled PET, provide controlled, balanced acoustics rather than simply a dead or echoey space. A built-in ventilation system keeps the environment comfortable for students working inside.
Crucially for music schools, the booths are fully relocatable. If a school moves premises, expands, or reorganises its layout, the installation can be dismantled and rebuilt without any structural changes to the building.
How Music Schools Are Using Studiobricks
The following four schools show how varied and practical the applications are in real-world music education settings.
Get Loud (Ripollet, Barcelona) is a multifunctional music school built entirely around Studiobricks. The facility offers three distinct soundproofed spaces: fully equipped rehearsal rooms, music classrooms, and professional audio production facilities. It is a working demonstration of how comprehensively the Studiobricks system can underpin an entire music school offering, from beginner lessons through to professional-standard recording, within a single purpose-built centre.
Sona Bé (Badalona, Barcelona) is a rehearsal space that has built its entire room offering around Studiobricks booths. Five rooms ranging from 10 m² to 20 m² each feature Studiobricks installations providing sound insulation of up to 45 dB, balanced acoustic response, and silent ventilation. The rooms are designed for solo musicians through to sextets, and each is equipped with full backline including PA systems, drum kits, guitar and bass amplifiers, and microphones. Sona Bé is a strong example of how the modular system scales across a whole facility, allowing very different room sizes and configurations to coexist without acoustic bleed between them.
School of Rock Basel (Münchenstein, Switzerland) is a modern music school offering lessons and workshops across guitar, vocals, piano, drums, bass, and ukulele. When the school expanded its premises, Studiobricks cabins were central to the new teaching spaces. The installation was completed without disrupting the school’s ongoing teaching programme, which speaks to one of the system’s most practical advantages for any operating music school.
Assai Piu Musica (Logroño, Spain) is a specialist music school that has installed multiple Studiobricks booths of different sizes, all fully equipped with instruments including a full drum kit, electric piano, guitar amplifier, and PA system. The rooms serve individual practice, group rehearsal, and audiovisual recording, and can be booked by the hour. The school’s approach shows how a Studiobricks investment can do multiple jobs at once: supporting timetabled lessons, student self-directed practice, and community hire under the same roof.
For music school owners and administrators evaluating Studiobricks, a few practical points are worth working through before making a decision.
Installation causes minimal disruption. Because booths are assembled on-site from interlocking panels rather than built using construction trades, there is no extended works period. A booth can typically be ready within a single day, meaning a school does not need to suspend lessons or close temporarily.
Size is fully flexible. The modular panel system means booths can be configured to fit available space rather than forcing a school to adapt its layout around a fixed product. As Sona Bé illustrates, it is entirely practical to create multiple rooms of different sizes within one facility, each suited to different ensemble sizes and uses.
Multiple revenue streams become possible. Schools that invest in Studiobricks booths can offer spaces for student practice outside lesson hours, community and band hire, recording projects, and workshops. This can meaningfully contribute to offsetting the initial outlay.
Compliance requirements are already addressed. The booths carry fire-retardant certification and anti-seismic safety approval, and the acoustic panels are made from recycled materials with zero emissions certification. For music schools navigating building regulations, these credentials reduce the compliance burden considerably.
It is a professional investment, not a budget fix. Studiobricks is a premium acoustic solution and is priced accordingly. However, for music schools comparing it against permanent acoustic construction, the combination of lower disruption, full relocatability, and flexibility to reconfigure over time makes a strong case.
Is It Right for Your Music School?
Studiobricks suits music schools where the teaching programme is growing, where multiple rooms need to operate simultaneously without interference, or where noise management with neighbours is an ongoing concern. It is particularly well suited to schools in leased premises, since the booths leave no permanent mark on a building and can move with the school if needed.
For music school owners who want to offer students and clients a genuinely professional acoustic environment, without the cost and complexity of a building project, Studiobricks is worth a serious look.
