Seeing as each room is soundproofed, you will need to ensure that each room is notified of the alarm. I would equip each room with a strobe-only device. A horn/strobe would be a bit too loud in such a small space, and any music being played in the practice room may temporarily disguise a horn sounding, or deafen it's occupant.

We are looking for input on the application of notification devices in these spaces as well as smoke detection. We also have to contend with ADA compliance issues for the hearing and visually impaired.
