How To Record Yourself & Submit
Recording yourself at home is extremely simple but there are a couple of important points you need to know to make sure we can include your recording.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
- Audio recordings only (no video please)
- Students must record themselves playing at the right speed (see below for details)
- Submit your recordings via email – steve@teachingservices.com.au
How to Record Yourself At Home
- Learn your part well enough to play along with the audio track we have been using in band (audio tracks available using the links above)
- You will need to be listening to this audio track through headphones and play along with it during the recording so you play your part at the right speed
- Use ‘Voice Memo‘ app on iPhone (Android phones have a similar free app such as Samsung Voice Recorder) – no fancy microphone required
- Find a quiet room in the house – best room is one with plenty of soft surfaces (bed/doona/carpet/curtains)
- Don’t point the instrument directly at the phone, angle it away for the best sound (about 1.5m away)
- Make sure when you record that we can only hear your instrument (and we cannot hear the audio track you are playing along with through your headphones)
- Listen back to your recording before submitting to make sure you are happy with it
To submit your recording email the audio file to steve@teachingservices.com.au. Your Voice Memo / Voice Recorder app should have a ‘share’ button which will allow you to send the file as an email directly from within the app.
Don’t forget to include your:
- Name
- School
- Instrument
- Name of the Song
If you have any questions please contact Mr Steven Lavis – steve@teachingservices.com.au
