    • 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.
