Share your music with the whole galaxy! Our Satellite Showcases are a unique opportunity for students to submit video performances. These shows are a great option for students/bands wanting to make a music video, students who wish to perform multiple instruments on one song, students with stage fright, students interested in audio/video content creation, and are a fun experience for all! Recordings can be a simple cell phone recording, a full blown music video, or anywhere in between. Friends and family around the globe can tune in and enjoy the show!

The Satellite Showcases are open to all ages & skill levels! Students may choose their own song, however, we ask that song choice & videos are family-friendly so everyone can enjoy the show. Video performances can be a simple cell phone recording, a full blown music video, or anywhere in between. If you aren't sure you are ready to participate, please consult directly with your instructor. If you are not ready, don't fret! OOTWMS has a performance opportunity every 3 months. We encourage everyone to tune in and comment along the way to show support to performers. Once the live stream has ended, the showcase will remain available to watch at your convenience. If this is your first showcase and you need inspiration, we invite you to watch our previous virtual showcases at: https://www.youtube.com/user/OOTWMusicLessons

Tips & Suggestions:
Quiet on set! Remember that microphones can pick up sounds like ceiling fans, appliances, and even AC. If possible, choose a quiet place to record your performance. For the best audio outcome when playing along to a track, please send the audio recording of the performance and the track separately. The performer should wear earbuds or headphones while performing so that the recording device only picks up their performance audio. If you find that you are hearing unwanted sounds on your track, try turning the AC/heat off, turning ceiling fans and appliances off.
Lights! Cameras love light. Adding as much light as you can to your set will yield the best visual results. Remember, the camera is your audience. Consider giving your fans a quick intro before your performance and taking a bow after your song!
Camera! When using a hand held device, be mindful of both movement and sound interference. To avoid this, place your recording device in a secure position like a tripod/selfie stick/mount/etc. The microphones on these devices are quite sensitive and even the slightest movement or hand shifting can create loud pops/noises. If you are using a cell phone, please be aware that videos will be streamed in landscape. If you submit a video in portrait, it will be smaller in order to fit the screen.
Action! Have fun and get creative! Personalize your music video with a special backdrop, costume, props, pets, or even have your friends/family join in as extras on your set.
Applause! Tune in to the live stream and enjoy the many congratulations from your fans! Also, be a great audience member and leave positive comments for your fellow musicians.
