Tips and tricks
  • Placing your recording device farther away can prevent your audio from distorting.
  • Make sure you can see your music… and that your camera can see you!
  • If anything in your part is too hard, just do your best! It’s fine to skip a few notes when needed.
  • Follow the metronome. Do your best to stay in time, which is harder when playing without other musicians there in the room.
  • Tell your friends about the Saturday Symphony!
