This is typical Daily Mail tosh. Granted it can get noisy but I just tell my handful of students to play less. For one they get very tired very quickly and they too find the noise hard to take. Heck, I even even have to stop my own practice sometimes to save my ears.

I grew up with the Daily Mail, as it was the newspaper that my parents had delivered to our house for many years. It was and is a very pretentious tabloid, ie a 'Sun' newspaper (Brits know what I'm talking about) with slightly longer words in order to appeal to those who could read words with more than one syllable.
They have to sell, so rely on shock/horror tactics - like most tabloids. The real truth has very little to do with it.
If 99% of teachers say everything's fine, but 1% say that the children should be force fed raw elephant hide for breakfast, the latter will be reported and portrayed as 'education'.
Behind the scenes there are thousands of public sector 'experts' in teacher training colleges, local further education colleges, local health and safety commitees etc that have to come up with ideas in order to justify their post, career advancement, salary increases and very existence.
Tabloids in the UK have a never-ending supply of new material!

What "health & safety watchdog" would recommend such rediculous measures as ear muffs or teaching band classes from behind a sound screen? Not a very credable one, that's for sure. And then, to picture an elementary violinst as representing "too loud"??? A bit off the mark, I would say..........

I don't believe this for a second. Professional players have spent years developing their air management. Brass players often play wider bored instruments than students. Professional musicians could easily play far louder than beginners. And the lines about one honk from a cornet being damaging.... maybe if it was bell-to-ear.

Wow, learned something new. Apparently, a cornet is as loud as an airplane taking off. And here I thought science knew everything...

Every 3db is double - every 10 is x10. 10 log p1/p2
