Beginner Level
Have you ever had a song idea but didn’t know how to bring it to life? In this class, we’ll guide you through the process of turning your musical ideas into full songs, step by step! In Into the GarageBand, you’ll learn how to write, produce, record, and mix your own music using GarageBand. The course is structured into three key sections: a lesson, a demonstration, and hands-on work where you’ll develop your own projects. You’ll explore topics like song structure, adding loops, drum beats, samples, and working with software instruments—all within GarageBand’s easy-to-use interface. Throughout the course you will be encouraged to share your work for feedback, so you can receive guidance from me. As a professional recording artist, I’m excited to share the knowledge I’ve gained over the years. Although I now use more advanced DAWs in my daily work, GarageBand was my first, and it remains an incredible tool for budding musicians and producers. This class is designed for beginners—no prior experience or knowledge is required, just a passion to learn and create music. Let’s make some music together!
Learning Goals
Students will gain a basic understanding of Garage Band and how to record music.

Lesson 3:
Bass Lines!
This week students will learn all about basses and how they are both melody and rhythm instruments. We will then add a bass line to our beat from the previous class.
Lesson 4:
Chord Progressions!
What is the difference between melody and harmony? How can we use harmony to elevate our melody? Using the degrees of a scale students will create a harmonic sequence for their original song.
