Class Experience

Students love creating their own music, but the skills to compose from scratch take years to develop. However, Garageband makes it easy to sound like a pro in one easy lesson! Over my years as a technology teacher, using GarageBand has been one of my students' favorite activities. 

In this one-session 45-minute class, students will be introduced to the free GarageBand app and will learn how to create their own song using the Smart Guitar feature. Students need no experience to be successful...

This class is taught in English.

Students will be introduced to the basic features of the Smart Guitar in GarageBand. At the end of the class, they should have created an amazing digital song!
