SYMPHONIC BAND - Week of March 23 • DUETS
ASSIGNMENT: Record yourself playing one line along with my recording or with YOU playing BOTH lines.
THERE ARE LOTS OF OPTIONS HERE
This is obviously graded for completion and not score, but I want your BEST work.
ANNOUNCE which duet you're playing. If you play one of your own, send me a copy of the sheet music.
To submit a recording with me, play my video through your phone/device as it's setting next to your Chromebook. OR have it coming through some decent speakers. Only record a couple measures to check balance.
To submit a recording with you playing both parts, record yourself on your phone/device first. Then play your video through your phone/device as it's setting next to your Chromebook. OR have it coming through some decent speakers. Only record a couple measures to check balance.
Acapella or another video collage app
Bonus points if you can record multiple parts on an app like this. More bonus points if you share which app you're using and allow me to share your well-prepared videos.
Most of you should be able to get through AT LEAST 8 measures. That would be a good MINIMUM GOAL.
Bell players: Start with FOUR measures and go from there. The more you do, the better you get.
