Submitting Your Recording:

At our March 12th rehearsal, we'll spot-check and polish our parts and then record! We'll share some recording tips and tricks in rehearsal, but here is some basic information to get you started:

You can record on your computer or phone - whichever has the highest quality or is newest. If you're recording on your phone, place it horizontally.
Stand at least 4 feet away from your recording device for the best sound quality.
Make sure you're well lit so we can see your face and flute.
When you record, start the video recording first and then start the click track so we don't miss a note of your performance!
Play the click track through headphones/earbuds from a different device than is recording.
Practice with the click track before you record.
Record 2 takes of each piece or movement and pick the best one to submit.
Record each piece or movement separately.
Wear a colorful or floral top, whatever you are comfortable in!

Recordings due Monday, March 15th. To submit, please upload your videos to the appropriate folder here.
