Recording Guidelines

• Use MP4, MPEG, MOV, or WMV formats.
• Video resolution should be at least 720p for clarity.
• Ensure the candidate and instrument are clearly visible throughout the performance.
• Each video must be less than 1GB.
• Camera position can use landscape or portrait view. The camera should be static with candidate and instrument clearly in view.  The candidate’s face (either facing the camera or in profile) should be visible throughout the performance. Accompanists (if used) should also be in view.  However, the candidate should be the main focus if viewing both is not possible.  It is also important for the jury to be able to hear the candidate and any accompaniment in appropriate balance.
• The candidate can choose where the recording takes place. This can be the candidate’s school, home, their teacher’s studio, or any other location where appropriate space and instruments are available (including piano for any accompaniment).
