What do you need help with?
We are hiring piano teachers for making piano lesson videos online. I need a composer who can make MIDI piano pieces and videos from some foreign songs that don’t have piano parts and others that do. I don’t need you to edit them. You will then teach the songs in video form.
What will the freelancer be doing?
A song will be emailed to you. You are to break the song down into easy to learn segments. You will make a video of yourself teaching how to play each segment for the complete song. Only the piano keys and your hands will be in the video and of course your narration. The camera will be above the keyboard looking down. So no need to put on makeup! Examples of segments are intro, chorus, ending, bridge, etc. I can send examples from Youtube of others who are doing this. This will be done in Mandarin.
