Video Recording Instructions

Print out lyrics, if desired, and listen to the recording of the song below. Sing along!

When you are ready to record, listen to the recording using headphones so that the music of the recording is not heard in the room.
-
On a separate device (phone or tablet) take a video of your child singing.

Be sure to use Landscape mode and 1080p format (very important!) and have your child's shoulders and upper torso visible in the video.
-
Have your child stand to sing.
-
If you're using lyrics (attached below), position words above and behind the camera so your child is looking up.

Don't worry about perfection! Some things can be edited and some things don't need to be edited. We are happy to see and hear children singing joyfully!
