Virtual Recital
The Virtual Recital is for students who are not participating in the in-person recital.
When: Sunday, March 20, 2022; 2:00 on Zoom. Please arrive at 1:45.
Please tune ahead of time, rosin your bow, and clean the cello.
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 example picture for best set-up.
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.

Recital etiquette:
Please set up before it’s your turn to play.
Remain for the full recital and listen respectfully and attentively to the other performers.
