This year, at least one of our chapter's recitals will be online! This means you will record your performance, send it to us, and we will edit it into a video that premiere's on Youtube! Not only will you get practice performing, you will get practice recording, which is part of every musician's life!
The recital will be live via a "Premier" which will air at the specific date and time. Please plan to watch this recital from beginning to end out of respect to all students participating. The recital will air live for the duration of the recital (no rewinding will be possible) but will remain on the YouTube channel publicly, indefinitely, after it airs.
There will be three recitals; one in November, one in January and one in March. We cannot have more than 30 students for a YouTube recital. First come, first served, so sign up as soon as the registration opens!
Registration will open two weeks before the recital date. There will be a deadline to submit performance videos by one week before by 9 pm.

Appropriate Attire: Dress up as you would for a live performance. (No shorts, jeans, and T-shirts. Guys, please wear a collared shirt, if possible. If you have long hair, please have it pulled back so we can see your faces!)

Bowing: Bow to the audience (the camera) BEFORE AND AFTER your performance. An applause sound will be edited in. *clap clap*
Filming:
A. If filming on a smart phone, please hold the phone horizontally (sideways) INSTEAD of vertical (up and down).

If it is not possible for you to use the later programs, then you can e-mail the video directly to Kassia.
