Producing Student Concerts for YouTube and Spotify
Your students put months of work into rehearsals and performances — but once the concert's over, where does all that effort go? This resource shows you how to capture, produce, and share those performances with the world on YouTube and Spotify.
It covers the full pipeline: recording audio for different ensemble types, filming with multiple cameras, mixing, editing, and getting the finished product onto streaming platforms. Everything is demonstrated using gear that fits within a realistic school budget, and all audio mixing is done in Reaper — free software that runs on Mac and Windows without serial numbers or activation codes.
Key topics include:
- Recording processes for rock bands, choirs, orchestras, chamber groups, and school productions
- Ideal microphone placement for different instruments
- Running live sound and recording simultaneously
- In-depth audio mixing (pairs well with the companion resource "Mixing Demystified")
- Filming performances with multiple cameras
- Video editing using free software
- Getting your music onto Spotify via a distribution service
- Optimizing video uploads for YouTube
The course is built on real experience. The creator's school performance videos have racked up over 4 million views across social media, and this resource walks you through the same techniques and workflows used to produce them. Each chapter includes practical tasks for students, making it well suited for classroom use in a BYOD or computer lab environment.
Whether you're a music teacher wanting to build a public portfolio of your programme's work, a student studying music technology or media, or someone who simply wants to give school performances the audience they deserve, this resource takes you from stage to screen, step by step.
