As a teacher and musician, I was trying to find ways to keep my students working through distant learning, embracing technology, performing through new arts medium. I created a video in my house with limited technology other than an iPad and an upgraded microphone. I then took the entire accompaniment part and input into a music writing software. Once it was complete, I extracted a WAV file as my digital pianist. Then I recorded a video of myself playing a solo. The only other thing I added was picture of my garden in May.
