This video introduction will be your opportunity to display your teaching style and personality to potential students.NOTE: The video is a requirement to post your profile on the C4E Mentor site, but you can still submit the application now and provide your introduction video at a later date. The video needs to convey and introduction of yourself to your students. You can use your cell phone to create the video. To view our video production checklist please go hereView a mentor video example from Steven Thompson - C4E Mentor: Trombone 1. VIDEO RULES Do: Film horizontally Play your instrument Keep the length from 1 to 4 minutes Have good lighting and clear sound For best results, the video aspect ratio should be 16:9 Don't: Provide personal contact information Advertise or promote other services Use copyrighted music or any media in which you do not have the rights Shoot vertical or square videos. 2. TIPS Create a Script: Who are you? Create a script and practice. Introduce yourself. What is your name? What instruments do you play? Include your credentials, work experience, and other interesting backgrounds. What are your lessons like? Do you enjoy teaching? Do you have a preferred method of teaching? What is your attitude toward music teaching? You might include specific details about the activities you do during lessons and show materials you use. Use your Instrument: Show how you would teach by using your instrument of choice. Show your personality: Smile: Make students feel welcome in your online classes. Be Yourself: Show or tell something interesting about yourself. Do you have special hobbies that students might enjoy discussing with you? Choose clothing or background that really represents you. Other Tips Be natural - Do not read directly from a script! Look into the camera. Make it as though you are speaking directly to your student. Think of your students - The care you take in preparing for your video shows students not only what you think of yourself, but how they can expect you to prepare for your classes with them. Mention C4E - Doing this and adding a link to your teacher profile in the description will help people find and book your classes on our website. Dress appropriately: Smart casual is acceptable. Remember that first impressions count! I am aware that if my introduction video does not meet C4E requirements, my application may not be accepted.
