1 Choose a platform

The first step is to choose a platform that suits your needs and preferences. There are many options available, such as websites, blogs, podcasts, YouTube channels, SoundCloud accounts, or online portfolios like Portfoliobox or Wix. You should consider factors such as the cost, the ease of use, the design flexibility, the storage capacity, the privacy settings, and the audience reach of each platform. You should also make sure that the platform supports the file formats and the quality of the audio and video recordings that you want to upload.

Yes, there are various platforms out there. Is the mostly for providing links and or personal recordings of their sessions? If so, as a previous educator, I find Google Files/Docs are great too. It helps you stay organized. You can provide links to only parents to view.

2 Organize your content

The next step is to organize your content in a way that is clear, coherent, and attractive. You should decide how to categorize your students' work, such as by genre, level, style, or date. You should also create a consistent and appealing layout for your portfolio, using elements such as headings, subheadings, images, colors, fonts, and logos. You should also include some information about yourself, your teaching philosophy, your services, and your contact details.

3 Select and edit your recordings

The third step is to select and edit the audio and video recordings that you want to include in your portfolio. You should choose recordings that demonstrate your students' skills, progress, and personality, as well as your own feedback and guidance. You should also make sure that the recordings are of good quality, with clear sound, lighting, and angle. You can use music technology tools such as Audacity, GarageBand, iMovie, or Adobe Premiere to edit your recordings, such as trimming, cropping, adjusting the volume, adding effects, or inserting titles and captions.

4 Get permission and feedback

The fourth step is to get permission and feedback from your students before you publish their work on your portfolio. You should respect their privacy and preferences, and ask them to sign a consent form that allows you to use their recordings for promotional purposes. You should also ask them to provide you with some feedback and testimonials about your teaching methods, results, and experience. You can use online surveys or forms, such as Google Forms or SurveyMonkey, to collect their responses.

This is great, but also make sure if they are minors to have the parents consent. And possibly their review as well. As we know, if the parent is happy with the organization, the child is enjoying the classes and it’s clear they are obtaining what they set out to get from the instructor, then the parents word of mouth will definitely be a bonus!

5 Promote and update your portfolio

The last step is to promote and update your portfolio regularly. You should share your portfolio with your existing and potential clients, collaborators, and employers, using social media, email, or word of mouth. You should also monitor the traffic, engagement, and feedback that your portfolio generates, using analytics tools such as Google Analytics or YouTube Analytics. You should also keep your portfolio fresh and relevant, by adding new recordings, updating your information, and improving your design.

Creating a Digital Portfolio of student's work using Music technology can also be very beneficial for the student. Since the Covid 19 epidemic, most universities would have requested for students to submit videos of their performances to be assessed for an audition or a practical examination. If digital portfolios are created to record the progress of students' work, it would lessen the pressure for both the student and teacher when such requests are made.
