I’m so happy to hear this has been helpful!! It took a lot of finagling to get it set up for an upright 😅

@keithkunikida1222 2 года назад

This should’ve been helpful, because I have a RU-vid channel that uploads piano covers and I can only drool for this type of setup. Still need to buy the phone stand

@vspianist Год назад

honestly, just use continuity camera on ur iphone + mac and buy an overhead mic stand with a camera holder clip on. And boom, you have a wireless, convenient, low latency, and highres setup

@GrantJunior0 11 месяцев назад

Do you recommend any overhead mic?

@@GrantJunior0 just use ur macbook mic. That's already good enough. But if you WANT to get complicated, I'd recommend the blue yeti

@biblicalhebrewmadeez1332 Год назад

Thank you so much! I subscribed. Do you have any videos on how to set up everything you spoke about? I sing and do free piano and Hebrew tutorials, which I have been avoiding to do the piano tutorial for almost 8 months because I have purchased so many different things, including the Focusrite which I can’t figure out how to connect my voice and electric piano to record. I would appreciate so much if you can give me some help on this.

@turnersmusicworkshops 8 месяцев назад

Awesome Maggie!! I'm a Suzuki piano teacher in Palm Bay FL. I'm trying to streamline the process of recoding my lessons and making them available to students and parents after the fact. Which streaming platform do you use, and do you use a channel switcher (camera switcher, ATEM Mini Pro for example) to switch between camera angles? The mirrored camera was also a challenge for me but I finally figured it out using Manycam where I can switch the mirrored image off. I'll definitely use pick up the stand and that extra web cam. Thanks!!!

@musictramp41 Год назад

Thanks for this video. Could you post something regarding how to help your students set up cameras for their lessons?

@ezpianoforsingers6904 2 года назад

I would have liked to see you set it up because I cannot visualize what your set up is. Also, what software do you use to get your self viewed in a frame and the keyboard separate? Looks like a card.

Hello. Please tell me. Is it possible, using an ordinary home piano, to create such lessons if there is no MIDI keyboard. If so, what programs are needed? thanks for the answer

@ryancharles6080 3 года назад

Hi! I like the setup you have especially the use of a simple overhead shot. Just want to know if you have tried other video call platforms? And which one would you recommend? Thanks a lot!

@thecuriouspiano 3 года назад

Hi Ryan! Thanks for your comment! I tried a few other the past year and I stuck to Zoom for the quality and general level of ease, but I know people who use FaceTime, OBS, Ecamm (can have multiple camera angles simultaneously), and I’m sure there are many others as well! You should check out “Vibrant Music Teaching” channel, she has loads of creative online set ups!

@swilhelm3180 2 года назад

You didn't mention what you use for your head camera. Its moving as you move. I suppose its a GoPro? That's an interesting idea as it tracks your head movements.But how to switch between that one and the other camera? Or how to send both in a split screen? Setting up an effective rig is not easy!

I’m not understanding how the student can see both the tablet e.g. and the webcam simultaneously.

@sscs99 3 года назад

how do I make the swivel stop tilting? just set my phone on it, but it keeps moving thanks

@thecuriouspiano 3 года назад

Hi Susan, do you mean the overhead setup? Sometimes if I wanted to use my camera or phone I would just take a small bag with a weight or something slightly heavy and loop it over the back arm to prevent tilting :)

@sscs99 3 года назад

@@thecuriouspiano I was using the overhead weighted phone stand that you rec'd. I finally figured out how to adjust the swivel. lol. Thanks. It was great view for my virtual recital recording, especially for duets.

The web cam link you show is a bad link. Can you repost?

@lol-pb4rl 3 года назад

and how does the students view you through? computer/zoom/ or etc? and did u request students to have a minimum set up so that u can listen to them play? what do they need then? can the webcam reach the score as well?

@thecuriouspiano 3 года назад

Hi! Thanks for your questions :) 1. The students view me through Zoom! All of my extra gadgets are connected to Zoom to enhance the quality of the online platform 2. I request that students use a computer or tablet, not a phone and set it up so that I can see their full keyboard and face from the side! Depending on the length of time that they will take online lessons, I may suggest a microphone. But overall it’s more important for the teacher to have a good setup 3. The webcam is solely for the purpose of seeing my hands overtop, I don’t use this for my music. To share my music, I use the “share my screen” function on Zoom to connect my IPad to view the music and any annotations on screen! Hopefully this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

I wished you explained how to fix upside down keyboard view. You said you struggled and I was waiting whole video for explanation.

@basicchannel745 Год назад

Hi Yuliana! I did briefly explain that I was able to fix this by way of the webcam I personally use as it swivels 360 degrees. While that Webcam is no longer sold, any that allows you to turn it around to your liking while make that possible. Hope this helps!
