Starting with the question “How can I provide my students with more effective means of feedback for their performance assessment?" Carol outlines how she has shifted to implementing the use of video feedback. With video feedback, students can now see and hear feedback ideas which can promote better student understanding of assessment comments to inform their progress and purpose as they move forward.

In this episode, the two creators of this series, Brad Merrick and Carol Johnson chat across the city (online) about the way that teaching online in the virtual space has made them reposition their thinking and practice. This is the first of a series of weekly discussions where they chat about and reflect on, some of the many issues related to shifting their teaching and some of the strategies and challenges involved. Worth a listen, particularly if you are thinking of how to reposition your own teaching approach during COVID-19. We look forward to your feedback and hope you enjoy the episode via @musicedtech4u

In response to questions from a number of teachers and students, this episode talks about some important, yet often forgotten areas in your performance, such as the way you set up in the room, the location of the device, the time of the day, amount of storage and height of the technology can impact the outcome of the performance. Here, we want to help you get the best sound you can, using the available equipment that you have access to at the time. In this podcast, there are some basic tips and strategies about preparing for the recital-performance process (whether doing a live-stream, or recording for upload), which includes things like testing dynamics, expression, loud and soft sections, as well as doing a trial recording and listening back to sections of the program on the best sound system you have. This podcast tries to share a range of tips, drawing on experience from many years, in order to get the best from the recording device you use. We hope these simple tips help you, whether using a mobile phone, a tablet, your computer, or an external mic-camera for our performance. Again, a little bit of preparation can make a lot of difference to the final product.

This Podcast explores the importance of having audio devices connected before using sound and also discusses the differences between using a local (on your computer- Audacity/Garage Band) or virtual (online-Soundtrap) software, and the differences that are experienced as you try to monitor your performance while creating backing tracks. Suggestions around using the metronome, turning headphones, on and off to assist you and ensure you stay in time are mentioned in this episode. Issues with Latency in the online recording experience are referenced in relation to approaches to monitoring sound in an effective way to assist you with your instrumental-vocal instruction.
