Playing Test Reminders:
-Playing tests should be uploaded to the Google Classroom page.
-Make sure it's a video of you playing not just audio.
-I should be able to see your upper body/head so I can check fingerings.
Pro Tips:
-Start recording several days before the due date so you have lots of time to practice and get better!
-Find a quiet place in your house to record where you aren't distracted. (See Mrs. Burke if you need to use the band room to record in.)
-If you're having technical troubles, take a screen shot as evidence that your assignment wasn't late.
