The art of using virtual sessions and remote recording to create a live collaborative effect has been in practice industry-wide for many years making the necessary skills indispensable to all working musicians. While these concepts are not new to our present circumstances, the investment made now to acquire the knowledge and necessary gear will prove invaluable as we now enter new definitions of work and “gigs”\u00a0The virtualized model for our ensemble courses will involve a balance of periodic virtual meetings and online collaborative recording projects.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the technicalities of sustaining live, real-time performance collaborations are not yet fully reliable or feasible (see bottom of page). Directors will, therefore, rely instead on virtual class meetings to lecture, provide examples, offer feedback, hold class discussions, and to cover assignments. Ensemble classes can engage in virtual recording projects to learn and collaborate, together. Therefore, in addition to the standard jazz curriculum, the course objectives will also now emphasize the development of critical technical skills such as mic technique, multitrack audio creation, and associated recording technologies.<\/p>\n

Online Multitracking<\/h4>\n

“BandLab for Education<\/a>“, a uniform online multitrack audio platform, has been selected for its ease of use and compatibility, acting as a type of online “GarageBand”, of sorts. The system will allow recording projects to be assigned to students to collect and assemble tracks from the ensemble to form a mix.\u00a0Student “Mix Assistants” will also be elected and assigned to each small ensemble to help directors with technical aspects, such as collecting and vetting student submissions. These recordings can be used for in-class learning as well as to create recorded concert material to share. Invitation links to join BandLab will be sent to students and faculty members at the start of the semester.<\/p>\n

Large Ensembles<\/h4>\n

The JE1 and Mingus ensembles should plan mid-October and semester-end concert performances, as normally offered, consisting of at least 3 selections, each. The suggested model for such ensembles that meet twice a week is to include at least one weekly live call meeting combined with ongoing recording assignments. JE1, Mingus Ensemble, and Chamber Jazz 1 will use BandLab to facilitate student recordings.\u00a0For fall 2020, it is suggested that a minimum of 2 weeks per selection be allocated to fully refine audio and video content, as follows:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
