Thanks as always Hayden, for the words of encouragement! And yes, thank you to Pierre and Lori!
I wish we could someday have a Pianogroove retreat where we would all get to meet in person!
I spent a fun day in Loriās hometown several years ago and wish I could have known her then ā¦we could have had a toast to you!
Funny you mention that Kim as I think PianoGroove Meet Ups / Retreats would be a fantastic idea. We could have our teachers on stage giving lectures with overhead view projected onto a big screen, and then lots of keyboards with headphones for so that it doesnāt get too ruckus 
Perhaps we could host multiple ones as we have students throughout the USA, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
I would be more than happy to spend a few weeks of the year doing this and Iām sure our teachers would be interested too.
Something for us to explore this year for sure!
Yes I was up near @LoriNelson 's hometown over the summer for the Port Townsend Jazz Fest ā¦ the Olympic Peninsula is such beautiful part of the USA and I had fun cycling/hiking with an old friend of mine.
We have a studio in Seattle for working with our Seattle-based teachers, soā¦
If you do ever arrange that toast, let me know and i will come and join you groovy gals 
WOW!! Iām looking forward to the evolution of that retreat!! Italy would be great fun lol, but wherever it ends up being Iāll want to be there. You are definitely the everything is possible kind of thinker! 
Nice. Which chord progression are you playing over and key?
6 2 5 1 etc
Thanks
Dr Dean
Beautiful! You have inspired me to record a video. I will use iPad Pro but not sure how to send it.
Dr Dean
in this case i was just waking up and playing some kenny Barron voicing which fly me to this little piece ā¦ nothing about theory send me to this piece ā¦ just my ears and fingering trying to catch what i had in my head one chord or melody getting me to the next ā¦ more a ambience to catch than a key at this moment.
diminished harmony is around i think
I am really a windows guy but it should not be such complicate you can download it in youtube or just on some dropbox or icloud and just paste a link to it .
heres a link to post it on youtube
ļ£æ How to Upload Videos Straight From The iPhone iPod iPad to YouTube
[Hayden Hill]
Yes simply drop a YouTube URL in the thread and it will automatically embed.
We can also do the same with Vimeo URLs.
Now , we are all waiting this video Doctor !
Yes as @Pierrot says, the best thing to do is to upload your video to YouTube, and then simply copy the YouTube URL into the forum post.
When you copy a YouTube URL into the forum post, it automatically creates a video embed.
The benefit is that YouTube can handle big video files, and also ensure the video playback speed is top notch.
@Dan - do you have any ideas here?
Yes the best way is to create a vimeo or youtube channel, upload your videos there from your iPad then copy & paste the links here. Both Vimeo and YouTube offer the feature to keep your videos unlisted so that the rest of the web canāt view it but you can post here.
Iāll get some imagery and instructions together if this isnāt clear @dr1
Thanks
I am not very tec savy. Should receive tripod mount for iPad in next few days. I plan to video then as I am finishing arranging āMistyā from the lead sheetā¦ Once that is complete I will need assistance to send it to pianogroove. Step by step instructions may be necessary.
Dr Dean
Pianogroove is by far the best educational experience in piano. I awake excited to practice every day!
No problem @dr1 Iāll get some detailed instructions for you and this is probably something weāll incorporate into an explainer video for all members going forward.
Looks like we may have a new contender for the top spot on Dr. Dans Leaderboard for technical delivery.
Will get detailed instructions ASAP.
Thanks
Dan
Thanks I was reluctant to use YouTube, because I didnāt want worldwide access to my video. So you can have it unlisted.
Will try that out
Yes @LoriNelson on your YouTube video, if you click on āEdit Videoā the option to have your video Public, Unlisted or Private is here (See screenshot)
If you set it to unlisted (then click save) you can still share the link but it isnāt visible to anyone else.
Brilliant thanks @Dan 
I agree that unlisted YouTube videos are the way to go. When I upload my performances they are always āunlistedā as I only create them to be shared here in the forum.
Ultimately, the purpose is just to share our recordings and things we are working on, so that we can motivate and inspire ourselves and others students.
I also see a tonne of benefit in sharing things we are transcribingā¦ like little licks, lines, intros, solos, comping patterns etcā¦ and I think this would be a surefire way to encourage everyone to transcribe more.
One of the most common questions I receive is about how to learn to improvise. Slowly we are creating the āecosystemā here that will allow exactly that. The key is listening and transcription.
We have the Transcription Forum Category here - Tuomo and myself and working on populating it with more transcription studies which will be available shortly.
Then we will be settings monthly exercises on transcribing short phrases such as 251s, and also longer more complex exercises such as transcribing parts of a solo, or transcribing an introduction etcā¦
Iām really excited for this because it will ensure that I am doing lots of transcription too which is often hard to find the time to do!
Continuing the discussion from Share Your Music, Recordings, & Performances 
:
Received iPad tripod mount and will film video this weekend. Need advice to complete this project and send it to pianogroove.
Very excited! Since this is not a classical performance I probably will not need tails and white tie attire. Tails and black formal should be appropriate. I am still a formal guy at heart.
Thanks
Dr Dean
Thatās great new Dr Dean, and yes black formal with tails will be a very fitting attire! 
@Pierre shared this video on how to upload to YouTube from a iPhone or iPad.
It shows how to upload directly from the āCameraā app on your iPad, check it out here:
Remember that you can make the video āUnlistedā when uploading if you desire. This makes the video invisible on YouTube, whilst still giving you the ability to share it here in the forum.
Once uploaded, simply copy the video URL (see screenshot below) and paste it into your forum post. You will then see that the video displays like magic!
If you need any further guidance just let us know and weāre happy to help
Itās also worth mentioning, if you are using the YouTube App on your iPad, you will not see the URL bar, and so this is how you would copy the video URL:
Unable to upload to YouTube on iOS 12. Help. When I select upload from the camera the YouTube app is no longer available on this version of iOS 12.
Dr. Dean
Hey Dr Dean 
Here is a demonstration of how to upload using an iPhone on iOS 12ā¦ I imagine the process will be very much similar when using an iPad:
This issue seems to be specific to iOS 12, and according to the video above, the āworkaroundā is to open the YouTube App directly and upload from the app using the camera icon at the top.
The video also says that when opening the YouTube app for the first time, you will be prompted to log into your YouTube Account, and also be prompted to give YouTube access to your Camera Roll.
After those steps have been completed, if you click the camera icon at the top of the app, you should then be able to select from your videos and you can also ātrimā the video if needed.
Let me know if that works for you Dr Dean, and Iām here to assist further if needed.
ps. the black formal attire is looking great 
The video is on utube, how do I send it to you?
Dr. Dean
