Mini Challenge: Create shareable videos of student performances
|
|
|
Details: Every once in a while I find myself compelled to make a video recording of a student playing during their lesson. These are not fancy recordings. I just pull out my phone and hit record. After the lesson I email the video to the student's parents with an encouraging word about how little Susie's hard work really showed in her lesson that day. I especially enjoy making these recordings when students are playing holiday songs they love! (It makes for very "shareable" material.)
I know I've been under-utilizing these videos, so today's challenge is to do just a tiny bit of prep work so we can encourage parents to share those videos on social media and refer people back to our studios.
Your job is to make a sign with your web address. That's it.
When your next student comes, have them play their piece and then (while the camera is still rolling) have them hold up the sign and strike a pose!
Your sign can be handwritten on a piece of copy paper (or you can take some inspiration from Pinterest and use a chalkboard or picture frame to fancy it up). The important thing is that your studio information is captured in the video itself so even if a parent shares the video by email or doesn't tag you when they share it on social media platforms, viewers will always be able to trace the talented darlings back to you. :)
