Funky Music Tip #6 - Free Skype Recorder for Your Skype Lessons
If you give or take Skype lessons this is a great tool to
help you remember what happened in the last session. For students, you should always record your
lessons because you can never remember everything and there are some great
licks and patterns that your teacher may play that you will want to remember so
you can practice them. There are also
some phrases that you play that may be worth incorporating into your repertoire. Lastly your teacher may say something
profound and give you some words of wisdom that you really want to
remember. If you record your lessons you
will have these invaluable tidbits to go back to when you are in your own
private practice session wondering what to work on.
For teachers, recording your lessons can be a great way to
see where you need to improve your delivery.
It can also serve as a way of tracking a student’s progress so you know
how far and how fast your student is progressing. Lastly you can use a recorded lesson to help
you get the grant or the job you were applying for. It can serve as a record of your teaching
ability and just may put you over the top.
I used to use Super TinTin for Skype but they are now
charging $30 for more than five minutes of recording so I had to find another
piece of software. The one I found that
is at the bargain basement price of FREE is called Free Video Call Recorder by
DVD Video Soft. It is very simple to use
and it allows you to record one screen, two screens or just audio. One thing to watch out for though is the
install process. During the install
wizard they will ask you to install two recommended programs, one is a toolbar
and the other is another piece of software.
I’m sure their harmless but I’m tired of all these toolbars trying to
fight for my browser space. Take your
time during the install process and click “custom” install to uncheck the
boxes. After you’ve done that you should
be up in running in a heartbeat.
