SEE is designed with a purpose to provide opportunities for teachers and students to gain performance experience on a virtual stage, without the pressure of competing. Can be an alternative or an addition to the usual students' recitals. We believe this format can be beneficial beyond COVID: Many teachers accumulated remote students and this form of teaching is now here to stay. Those students need performance opportunities just as much as those who take lessons in person Even a physical students' recital can benefit from broadcasting, because students' family members and friends don't always live in the same town, they can watch it live It's a faster and in many cases cheaper alternative to recording, editing, compiling a school's or studio's recital, and uploading it on youtube It provides a recording which can be edited for future applications to competitions, programs, scholarships, etc Who is it for? All performing arts students, teachers, owners of Studios/schools/summer programs/camps/competitions. Suitable for students and educators of all performing arts: music, dance, theater, etc Can accommodate individual performers and groups of any size. Fees are calculated per performance time on the virtual stage, regardless of the group’s size. What do I get? Complete instructional packet including video tutorials which provides most up-to-date information about best equipment options and practices for streaming and Internet TV broadcasting of a performance.

Contestants and judges focus on unique artistry of every performer, awarding prizes offered by music management companies. académico ¡Ofrece la interpretación más genuina que encarnaría al compositor y nos llevaría a su mundo! En profundidad Es notable cómo el tiempo afecta nuestra interpretación, especialmente a medida que las culturas avanzan hacia nuevas formas de vivir e interpretar el mundo que les rodea. La música es atemporal y puede llevarnos a lugares y tiempos lejos del momento presente y al mundo y la mente del compositor. Una actuación académica intenta llevarnos a este lugar y representar con precisión la música lo más cerca posible de la forma en que el compositor la imaginó. Los artistas hacen esto educándose sobre la historia y estudiando a los compositores de la misma época y usándolo para transformar mejor el escenario en un gramófono del pasado para la audiencia a través de ellos mismos. Criterios generales Estilo genuino: la interpretación estilística que coincide con el estilo que se sabía que se tocaba en el momento del compositor es fundamental para ofrecer una interpretación precisa. Interpretación genuina: todas las marcas y versiones de la música deben haber sido entendidas a fondo y expresadas lo más cerca posible de la voluntad y la intención del compositor. Lejos y más allá: se anima y es emocionante ver una representación visual de los tiempos además de la interpretación que refleja la época en la que se escribió la música y respeta la historia de la música.
