Grade 7/8 Band Recording Project - Bossa Blue
measures 25-33

In lieu of a December concert, the Grade 7/8 Band will be producing a recording project.  Please read ALL instructions carefully!
Your recording is due November 30th.
Instructions:

Step 1:  Practice Bossa Blue m. 25-33 with play-along track
  • Scroll down, select the video for your instrument below, put in headphones and practice Bossa Blue m. 25-33 with it.

Step 2:  Record!  When you feel ready (this might be after a few days of practice), you will need a parent to help you, and 2 devices:
  • Parent/Helper on Device #1, press record on the Voice Recorder app (do NOT take a video) 
    • Voice Recorder app for Android
    • Voice Recorder app for Apple iOS
  • Student on Device #2, ***using headphones*** press play on your video below and play along
  • Parent/Helper on Device #1,  stop the recording, save your file as "BB 25-33 Your Name" (eg. "BB 25-33 Jane Smith")

​VERY IMPORTANT:  you must record yourself while listening to the video ***through headphones***.  The only sound we should hear on your recording is you, otherwise we won't be able to use it, and you'll have to do it again.

RECORDING TIPS  
  • Record yourself playing in a room full of soft surfaces if possible - carpet, drapes, couches or a bed etc.  This will yield the best recording quality.  A room full of hard surfaces like a kitchen or bathroom will be too echo-ey. 
  • Make sure you are either standing, or sitting with good posture to get the most full sound!

When you are done, submit your recording using this google drive.
