Here is how you set up and submit a playing test recording...
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1. Make sure to sign in to CANVAS.
2. If your playing test is short - less than 4 minutes - you can just record directly onto Canvas!
2a. Click "Submit Assignment" on your assignment page
2b. Scroll to the bottom; above the "Submit Assignment" button - there will be tabs for your file location options
2c. Click on "Media"
2d. Click on "Record/Upload Media"
be sure to give Canvas access to your microphone and webcam
2e. Record your test
2f. If you decide to re-record it, you will lose your first attempt.
2g. Submit your assignment
If you have an extremely long test, feel free to use a different recording device - or simply use a different recording device from the start. Phones, Chromebooks, Tablets, etc. all have recording capabilities these days. There are also online resources:
Clyp.it Soundcloud Vocaroo Audacity
MAKING THE RECORDING (non-Canvas)
3. Open your recording device and record yourself playing.
-please listen to yourself so you can self-critique. Play and record yourself a second, third, or sixteenth time, if need be.
4. Save your recording.
-give it an easily recognizable name. For example: "Playing Test #1 - NameOfPiece"
5. Your recording program/application may have a different system of saving, but an easy option would be to save your file to your Google Drive.
