I very often use real-time spectrograms for research in the field (acoustic
surveys for marine mammals) but also for education and training. The
software we developed allows to "view" sounds in real-time with great
accuracy while recording to disk or while playing back a wav file.
Visit the page http://www.unipv.it/cibra/softw.html for knowing more about
that software and for downloading a free version you could use for
verifying if it matches your needs.
When I teach about bioacoustics, it is very useful to view spectrograms
while listening to the sounds to show the structure of the sounds and to
explain how our "percpeption" is correlated with the time-frequency
distribution of energy.
The same approach is useful for training singers, for "viewing" the sounds
produced by a musical instruments, or for understanding the real structure
of some noises.
A notebook with a USB sound device (the Roland UA5 is great) and maybe a
videoprojector can be enough for your needs.
Feel free to write me if you need more info,
