This episode is a follow-on from episode 104 where I shared 5 important tech tools to consider for teaching remotely. Today I want to share some specific tips for creating teaching videos.
Being able to create short, effective teaching videos is an important skill to have and it’s become even more important now that many educators are teaching remotely, or planning to.

Looking for More Resources for Music Teachers?
Hello! I’m Katie Argyle – an Australian music technology trainer and consultant with a passion for helping music teachers through my business Midnight Music.
I’m a qualified teacher but no, I don’t currently teach in a school. I help teachers through my online professional development space – the Midnight Music Community – where there are tutorial videos, courses, links and downloadable resources.
I like to focus on easy ways to incorporate technology into what you are already doing in your music curriculum through a range of creative projects. I also run live workshops and have presented at countless conferences and other music education events.
If you want simple, effective ideas for using technology in music education, I would LOVE to help you inside the Midnight Music Community.

Have you any experience with JazKazam?
I am trying to find a platform where music students can actually rehearse together, playing simultaneously, with minimal latency.
I have not found any other apps that can allow multiple inputs remotely at the same time…
Love to hear your feedback.
Hi Brenda -I haven’t tried JazKazam. It’s not possible to do a live, synchronous rehearsal via video conferencing. The lag/latency issue is largely due to the varying speed of all the participant’s internet which you have no control over. The general consensus is to have a “silent” rehearsal where you conduct or play a backing track (unmuted) and the students all sing/play along with you while they are muted. You won’t hear them and they won’t hear each other, but they will still gain some benefits from rehearsing that way. Students can send you individual recordings of themselves singing/playing their parts for you to check in on how they’re going. I’ll be doing another post about this topic soon!
