GarageBand - Workshop, Training, Virtual Composition

★ Wanting to learn/teach/compose using GarageBand?

★ Thinking GarageBand is too hard, you don't know where to start?

★ Wondering how on earth you're going to teach this to your class?

With these step-by-step videos and slides, you and your young musicians will learn how to create a three-chord composition. Starting first with creating an accompaniment of drums, bass, strings, and piano, students will then progress to compose a melody.

Perfect to slot into your online lessons, use in the classroom or access it for your professional development training.

You will learn how to:

• Add smart instruments (drums, piano, strings, bass)
• Record tracks to create a backing track
• Automatically create drumming grooves/patterns
• Use the ‘Autoplay’ function
• Add sections to a song
• Compose a melody
• Duplicate sections of a song
• Fade out the song
• Name a song
• Export/share a song
• Compose a piece using three chords (C F & G) in binary form (ABAB)
• Activate keyboard note labels (letter names)**

Tested with several classes, this project (including work time) will take your learners two to four 45 minute lessons to complete.
