The Piano Podcast with Mario Ajero
Summary: I teach music and play piano. Occasionally someone pays me for it. I'm getting a Ph.D. in Music Education with a concentration in Piano Pedagogy at the University of Oklahoma. I'm also a member of MTNA (Music Teachers National Association). MP3 Audio Podcasts and M4A Enhanced Audio Podcasts are made through GarageBand 3 on my Powerbook G4. Video Podcasts are in Quicktime h.264 and created with a Sony MiniDV Handycam and iMovie. I'm originally from Cherry Hill, NJ. My other degrees are from Temple University in Philadelphia. I was Coordinator of Class Piano for Temple's Music Prep program in addition to teaching at the Haddonfield School of Performing Arts.

Dr. Mario Ajero shows how to compress videos into smaller file sizes optimized for online delivery. As teachers and students shift to online classes and lessons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become more apparent that if we want to exchange video files of our lectures/lessonsand students’ assignment submissions, we need to be able to make these file sizes as small as possible without compromising quality of the video so they can be shared quickly and easily. This video will demonstrate that process using a free open source application called Handbrake which can be downloaded at: handbrake.fr
