Is this all new construction?
You can 'stagger' the studs. This, with proper insulation will help decouple this room from the one next to it. In this way, the sheetrock in each room will NOT be back-to-back on the same stud.
You can also weave some Very Heavy, acoustically dense materials between the studs to help reduce sound transmission.
Built ins? Book shelves work and are a good design element, too. Stuff 'em with your paperback collection!
I would also use an EXTERIOR=solid core, 36" door as an Interior door.
Is it possible to install a barrier in the attic to prevent sound from going 'over the top'?
Prewire for as many speakers as you think you'll ever need.
Use 'econotube' flexible conduit so you can later pull or replace wire.
Double sheet rock? Not all 4 walls. Maybe, the wall next to the existing construction and 1 adjoining wall.
Make SURE you get Low-E thermopane glass, too.
