Making Music with Garage Band

Ages 11-15

Have you ever wanted to create and produce your own professional sounding songs

and share them with your friends and family?  Use your song as a ringtone? Now you

can unlock your inner creativity and music talent through the use of GarageBand. 

GarageBand makes creating your own songs fun, easy and exciting.  In this class, you

will learn how to record, edit, and mix down your own songs.  Students will learn how

to record music, vocals, guitar, bass, drums and use loops along with 1000's of virtual

sounds.  Students will learn recording and editing techniques that utilize effects on

instruments and their songs like a recording pro.  Students will work at an assigned

computer workstation in which they can learn at their own pace during a two hour

period each day.  There will be opportunities for students to share their songs with the

other class members.  This class is open up to 20 students per session.

Students will need to bring a flash drive or thumb drive (4G or better) to store their

projects to take home.
