🎥 Video Submission Guidelines
At RoadtoVirtuosity, we place a high value on public performance, especially in the modern age of online showcases.
Today, most musical performances are shared digitally — often reaching audiences of thousands, sometimes millions — in ways that traditional recitals simply can't match.
That's why our mission includes helping students build a strong online presence and share their artistry with the world.
To ensure quality, reliability, and consistency across the platform, all video submissions are hosted on YouTube, a trusted platform known for smooth streaming and long-term video support.
RoadtoVirtuosity itself does not host or upload videos directly.
📋 Video Submission Rules
1. Channel Verification
Each video must be submitted from your registered YouTube channel or the official RTV Students channel. Submissions from unregistered or unverified channels will be rejected automatically to ensure authenticity and prevent misuse.
2. Video Privacy Settings
When submitting a YouTube link, the video must be marked as Public or Unlisted. If your video is set to Private, our team will not be able to access or review it. Please double-check your settings before submitting your link.
3. Single-Take Requirement
All performances must be recorded in one continuous take, from start to finish — no cuts, edits, or splices are allowed. (Exceptions may be made for private students whose teachers are directly involved in producing higher-quality videos.)
4. Performance Quality
We understand that no performance is perfect. Minor mistakes are completely acceptable — they reflect genuine effort and real artistry. What matters most is your honesty, musicianship, and progress.
5. Camera Angle
You may use any camera angle, as long as the performer's hands and all piano keys are clearly visible throughout the video. This ensures transparency, fair evaluation, and an engaging viewing experience.
🎹 Alternative Option
If you do not wish to record videos — or if recording is difficult — you may take private lessons with a RoadtoVirtuosity Admin. Your performances can be evaluated live during lessons, and you can receive full credit without submitting a video recording.
