Quality of pre-screen recordings

Have you made other recordings before? we did one for camp last year which wasn’t too bad, but my daughter’s teacher at the time and a pianist she loves to work with were there, I was just pointing the camera.

This year, we recorded her excerpts for Tanglewood, and I swear that was one of the most stressful experiences I’ve ever had with my child. It definitely expanded to fit all available time – and more.

Next year I think I’ll enlist the help of a conservatory student to walk her through the process.

We have a zoom audio recorder and a Canon camera. I’ve never figured out how to get them to talk to each other, if that’s possible. I can tell you that the mic on the Canon was good enough this year, but the sound quality on the Zoom is much better.
