In class, teachers may ask students to record themselves playing their instruments. The easiest way to do this and to share this with the teacher is to:
Take the video on a Smartphone, Include both hands while playing the instrument
Download the Youtube app and log in or make an account
Hit the camera button at the top of the page
Select the video
Trim the video to the correct length if needed
Set the video to be unlisted if you do not want others to have access
Upload the video!
You may hit edit button which is located in the three dots and then change the video from public to unlisted, so that only people you send the link to may view the video.
Email Mr. Akers with any questions about this.
