New smartmusic students are unable to submit assignments

Our first ever virtual ensemble recording of Sakura Sakura is progressing well and teaching us a lot about what is working and what we can change to make future recordings sound even better.ДЄfter watching the videos, use the sign-up link in TEAMS to create an account on SoundTrap, then CLICK THE LINK FOR EACH ASSIGNMENT to add them to your profile on SoundTrap: The song/exercise numbers are listed as вЂњmovementsвЂќ, except for the page 40 scale which are listed under вЂњRubankвЂќ at the bottom of the list. I wonвЂ™t be assigning them in SmartMusic, but you can find them by looking under the вЂњMethod BooksвЂќ category for Essential Elements book 1. Take advantage of being able to slow down the tempo and looping tricky parts that need extra practice. If you can, I highly recommend using SmartMusic to practice these. If you are all caught up on our recording projects, I would like you to practice the following numbers from Essential Elements: 92, 93, 95, 96, 99-101 (make sure you are only tonguing the first note in a slur, and check your key signature in 101!), and also reviewing page 40 Bb #1 & #3 and Eb #1 & #3 Star Wars recordings can wait a little bit longer because we are not doing that one with other schools.

If you are still catching up, I am hoping to have all Ayre & Dance recordings in by next week (Wednesday the 27th) so I have time to add them to the district massed band. This week is a bit of a break from adding to our recording schedule.

Either SHARE the project with me (james.martin5) or export it as a file and upload to Teams to share with the whole class.

Once both parts have been recorded, listen to them together and make sure they sound as good as they can.

optional: MUTE the 1st track (part A) when recording part B.

Create a 2nd vocal/mic track to record part B.

If it is out of time or if there are mistakes, do it again.

Listen back to what you just recorded.

Play the A part of 103 in time with the metronome.

With your instrument ready, plug in your headphones and press the red button to begin recording.

Turn on the metronome (bottom of the screen) and adjust the click sound and volume so that you can hear it clearly in your headphones while playing.

Use the gear icon button in the top-right corner to change the time signature to 3/4.

Learn and practice #103: Minuet вЂ“ Duet in Essential Elements, both the A part and the B part (if you like, you can use SmartMusic to help with the practicing).

Watch the video if you want to see a complete walk-through, or just follow the instructions below.Д¬lick here for the video if you are having trouble playing it on my site. This week, you will be recording a duetвЂ¦ with yourself! ItвЂ™s a very short piece and not too difficult to learn.
