It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom than outdoors

Explanation:

It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom due to the improved acoustics provided by the walls of the classroom whereby along with the direct sound of the musician, which is the lead source of the sounds, there is an increased number of indirect sound reaching the ear in the classroom than outdoors and due to precedence effect, all the sound appear to come from the musician

In music played outside, along side the direct sound from the musician, the indirect sound that reach the ear is echoed from maybe by only the ground while the majority of the sound from the music wanders away with the wind and in other directions as well as being absorbed such that speakers will be required to improve the sound of the music outdoors.
