I chose for my playlist to be “unlisted.” I am a stickler for protecting the privacy of children, so I only wanted my students’ families to be able to share it amongst themselves. It can be public (open to everyone), private (only you can see), or unlisted (only accessible with a direct link). It’s important to note that you can edit the privacy settings of your YouTube playlist. I named my playlist “2020 Virtual Recital.” When the video is on your YouTube account, you can add it to a new playlist.Once you complete your project in iMovie, you can upload it to YouTube.I highly recommend using it as it offers the simple features you’ll need for video editing. In iMovie, you can put several videos together, add titles to the videos, and even add an applause sound effect.

In iMovie, you can select “+” to create a new project.The point of it is to showcase the student’s name and any other information you’d like to include.

Before editing the video, I created a slide of the student’s name and piece using Canva.Apple users will find that a lot of simple video editing can be done using iMovie (free software on Apple devices).I was then able to download the videos in high quality. Parents uploaded their videos to their own Google Drive and shared the videos with me. I had the most success with getting videos through Google Drive. Parents can then share the video to you using email (if the video is not too big), Dropbox, or Google Drive.If parents can hold the camera in landscape (horizontal) view, it makes for a nice video. Ask parents to video students at home playing their music.To create your virtual recital playlist, follow these tips: It took some time to do this, but I felt like it added a nice touch to the playlist. I really wanted to add an opening slide that included the student’s name and piece for each video.
