- Arrival time: 1:30

- Attendance policy:
- Cello Jello students must stay until intermission.

- The only exception is if the student has a Youth Symphony or other sanctioned cello performance (please ask me first) that will result in a late arrival or a need to leave early. Otherwise, no exceptions.

Video set-up:
- Choose a well-lit room with good acoustics and a good WiFi connection.
- Make the background as plain and clutter-free as possible.
- Place the music stand (if using) to the left side so you’re not blocked from view.
- Position the computer so you and your cello are fully in the frame (from the knees up is okay).
- Use landscape mode.
- Face forward – do not face to the side.
- See picture below as an example.
- When finished performing, you may move elsewhere in the house to watch the rest of the recital.
- When watching others, select “Speaker View” (not “Grid View”) to best see them.
