Hello teachers, not sure if many of you know this but you should, Lessons In Your
Home has a YouTube page. Its http://www.youtube.com/lessonsinyourhome and
we are looking for more music lesson videos.

We are paying $10 for each 1.45-4.45 minute video you submit. Once submitted,
well take the video add some borders, effects, and other cool links and stuff to it and
then use it on our YouTube page and other promotions. Here is the outline we need
for each video:

Lesson Videos ones in which you teach and demonstrate an idea.
1. Script and Outline
a. Hi my name is ______ and I teach (all the instruments you teach) with
Lessons In Your Home
b. Today Id like to show you (What ever song or concept you are going
to teach or demonstrate)
c. Play an example of what you are going to show them. We like for
videos to open up with what a student will learn. Not too much
talking before you demonstrate.
d. Say and do what it is youd like to teach, be yourself, relax!
e. End with Id like to thank you for tuning in, wed love to teach you
lessons so please contact us or comment below with any questions or
feedback

2. Background We need you to keep whats in the background of your videos
clean. We can only pay you for videos that we feel we can use.
3. Your appearance in the video needs to be appropriate, look the part.
4. Speak clearly and positively.

How to record Well, we have had videos recoded on i-phones and also camcorders,
its hard to go wrong as long as the video can be seen and heard clearly. In the
examples that we have a link to below, youll notice some edits to the video. Please
dont think you need to cut up your video. What we want is a video thats ready to
use, well add our intro to and then a few highlights to it, and thats it.

Once you finish a video or videos (there is no limit for now), please email
Jay@lessonsinyourhome.net and hell email you back with a link to upload your
video(s) to. Hell also make sure you get compensated for each video. If you have
questions about any of these please contact Jay at 770-330-5913 (he lives in e.s.t).

Good ideas on what to record (dont be limited by this list, they are just easy ideas,
yours might be much better):
1. Anything you are passionate about.

2. Ideas that youd like your students to be able to view in between their
lessons.
3. REALLY GOOD! Popular songs, maybe youre teaching students how to play
the opening of a pop song, maybe the tough section of a classical piece. If we
can list the name of the piece in the title of a video, thats a good thing.
4. Any techniques specific to your instrument(s).
5. Practice Suggestions, the video needs to demonstrate it.
