STEP 3

Prepare your personal recording studio

Pick a Tidy Location

Choose an uncluttered indoor area without a ton of stuff in the background.

x

Erase Background Noise

Turn off all fans, A/C (ask permission first!), TV, and anything else that could interfere with your recording.

Turn off Notifications

Set your phone to Airplane Mode and Do Not Disturb to avoid ruining your best take.

STEP 4

Frame your perfect angle

,

Film in Landscape (Sideways)

Be sure to use the rear camera on your phone for the highest quality!

Make sure YOU are in the frame!

Set-up your video so that you are facing your camera and your face and instrument are clearly visible.

Check your Lighting

Make sure the brightest light in the room is in front of you! Check for any shadows or dark spots.

STEP 5

Record like a pro.

Get your music ready

Make sure your chair, music stand, music, and headphone cables are set-up that you can quickly and easily start the click track and get into position to perform.

I

Start recording BEFORE you start the click track

Count the clicks while you get ready to play. On the 9th Click, Clap 1-time.

Record everything!

Record straight through the piece, counting through all rests and the 9 extra clicks at the end.

After your last note, you may bring your instrument downand smile towards the camera. 

Do not break performance character until after you clap on the 9th click.

STEP 6

Submit your performance

U

Check your Work

Listen and watch your video. Are you in frame?

Is your sound clear or is it distorted?

Did you miss any notes, rhythms, or articulations?

Check for anything that may be distracting and re-record if you see or hear anything that is out of place.
