如何规划我的教室空间?
A piano tutoring service is about to be launched. Faced with a new business, bosses always want to start it smoothly, but they don’t know where to start. The following steps help the boss use his thinking from space, instrument settings, etc. to sort out his ideal classroom plan, take stock of how to purchase a piano, the space and limitations of the classroom, and also add the classroom appearance that he hopes to see.
开办钢琴督课服务，老板脑海里开始浮现各种疑问，在教室空间限制下，如何安置钢琴？琴声会影响教室运作？需要改装教室吗？如放置多台钢琴，需要如何排列呢？面对排山倒海的事，心里不禁想 『可以为我提供建议吗？ 』
Piano tutoring services can be carried out simultaneously with the regular business of the education center. We should take into account the feelings of parents/students, such as the impact of piano sound on the classroom or students’ curiosity. In addition, there are staff to monitor the activities of multiple students practicing piano. How to create a friendly classroom environment has become an important matter, so that parents, students, and staff can study and work with confidence. Even if new business is added, the classroom can still operate as usual.
从钢琴开始
There are many types of pianos on the market, generally divided into two categories: wooden pianos and digital pianos. Wooden pianos are divided into two categories: grand pianos or straight pianos. Digital pianos are also divided into two categories: electronic keyboards and digital pianos. The general price order from high to low is (grand piano – straight piano – digital piano – electronic keyboard). Each of them has its own functions. Of course, there are also digital pianos that are more expensive than straight pianos, so I will not list them all here.
综合教室环境，成本考量，家长的疑虑及学生使用手感等因素，我们建议选用仿真键数码钢琴（下简称数码钢琴），它的优点如下：
- 价格亲民
- 体积小不占空间
- 仿真琴键（按琴键时阻力较大）
- 可插耳机（使用时不影响教室运作）
- 有线性输入声音（配搭平板电脑播放教材）
- 有线性输出声音（便于拍摄练习短片）
但数码钢琴型号众多各有特色，应该如何考虑呢？
In order to participate in the piano tutoring service, an operating education center must place a digital piano. But the real situation is that the operating education center already has desk furniture in use. We hope to add one or more digital pianos and integrate them into the classroom smoothly with “minimum modification of the classroom space”. Therefore, when choosing a digital piano, we can consider two aspects: volume and appearance design.
选择它们的原因是属于仿真琴键种类，琴键能模拟直身钢琴的重量及回悸反应，除此之外，它们还有两个共同特质，就是它们的上盖是掀盖式设计，盖上琴面后如同普通桌面一样平整，另一特质是这些钢琴体积亦与教育中心常见的工作桌相约。只要于上方铺上保护胶垫，即可当作普通工作桌使用，能完全融入教室空间。
仿真键数码钢琴型号建议
以上数码钢琴于乐器零售商仍可购入，价格约为港币3800-6800元等（建议向零售商查询）。
数码钢琴可配备耳机及录音线，学生可戴耳机练习，不影响课堂日常运作。录音线用于连接平板（播放EXAMpiece™视频）与数码钢琴，连接后学生可在耳机中听到视频的声音。另一用途是录制视频时可连接视频设备，避免录下教学环境的声音。至于各种设备之间的连接方式，双方协商时会详细说明。
数码钢琴放置方式
Before exploring how to place a digital piano, let’s first introduce the basic work content of an employee and the maximum number of students he can supervise. Before students practice, employees need to help students connect their tablets and digital pianos; monitor students’ concentration while practicing. The work content is similar to that of tutors. We recommend that one employee can supervise up to four students practicing at the same time.
数码电钢琴的三种建议放置方式
- 学生同向方式
- 学生面对面方式
- 学生背对背方式
教育中心可按需要或现场环境安排数码钢琴放置方式，安排方置方式目的在于方便员工监督学生及识时提供协助。
