SILENT NIGHT: Recording Directions
1.  Use Google Chrome as your browser.
2.  Go to https://upbeatmusicapp.com/ and make an account - it's free!  For step by step instructions on setting up the account, use this
 SCS Upbeatmusicapp presentation
3.  Once your account is set up, you will need to record yourself singing using the Upbeat Music Application, in chrome, wearing black, with headphones or earbuds
 4.  Please record yourself (and your family if they sing - just gather everyone into the frame!) against a plain wall or background.  https://play.upbeatmusicapp.com/perform/record?id=A3E4D00E5A2C4A9E   
5a.  Akron City Gospel Singers and Children's Choir Program members will sing the first verse, which runs from audio marker 1:49 - 3:00.  This is a simple melody for Silent Night.  After verse 1 (audio marker 3:00) we ask someone in the room you are recording in turn off the lights and that you remain on camera holding a candle of some kind until the end of the song. This should be a beautiful visual resolution.
5b.   Metropolitan Chorus singers should sing the entire audio as it is known to you.  Sheet music is forthcoming. 
*There is a demo video below.  This represents only the first verse.  If you know the entire song feel free to sing through to the end.

CONFUSED?
This is a lot of information but SCS has you covered.  We will be providing an interactive tutorial for recording on Tuesday evening, December 1st at 6:30 PM.  Join in using the zoom link below.
