The Recorder Badge.
To earn the "Recorder" badge the applicant must arrange and record ten pieces of music (covers or original) featuring multiple instruments (minimum three), tracks and styles. The applicant must perform at least one instrument on every track.
The purpose of this badge is to give our students the experience to put themselves in front of a microphone and see what that feels like. It's also a chance for them to develop and better understand what it takes to bring together a studio recording.
