WeVu for Music
Case Studies
There are so many ways to use WeVu in Music Schools
(These are real screenshots, so we've blurred them a little to anonymize them.)
Self-recorded practice & assessments
Students record on their phones and submit to a WeVu assignment box. The teacher can go through them quickly one by one and leave feedback or grades. Jeff Hanlon, teaching a guitar class, said "They were happier; I was happier".



Music History
Students are tasked with finding audio or video clips of a particular genre or period. They then privately make time-specific comments and the professor can respond and assess the student's work.


Interpretation and Criticism
Students are assigned an audio or video recording of a performance. Then there can be a group dialogue, with or without the instructor, to discuss the work, its performance, and its significance. Unlike in person, students don't have to struggle to get a word in edgewise.



Ensemble and Orchestra Rehearsal
The rehearsal can be filmed and then immediately afterwards all the players must watch and listen, making relevant comments at specific points, tagging them with hashtags like "#brass" so a large number of student comments can easily be filtered.



Studio
WeVu allows for more reflection on studio work. Student and teacher don't even need to be in the same place at the same time. Or the video can be shared anywhere in the world with just the right teachers and mentors.


Conducting
Video is probably most powerful of all for conducting. Only with video can students really see and believe what improvements they could make in their conducting practice. Some instructors just prompt students to reflect carefully rather than saying immediately what the student has done poorly.
