Equipment:
Metronome

Camera Position:
Place your device on a table, stand, or tripod. Put some books under your device, if needed, to elevate the camera to the correct height.
Position the device camera about shoulder-to-head height and on the side of your body, approximately 4-5 feet away from you— so Rob can observe your arms, hands, and face.
