GarageBand for Composition.

Garageband is a recording program. For many reason that you can read about in my post about video recording, using a recording to be a reflective as an almost unmatched educational tool. It is incredibly  useful. This program specifically  comes with a my mac product and is used many time for small scale recordings. If I ever get the privilege to teach in a public school I would really love to get my students to a place where they could compose their own compositions. I believe this and performing is the final frontier musicians get to, I mean the scale gets bigger as a musician does but this is the main idea. Garageband gives a chance to expose musicians to a variety of instruments, pre set recordings, and insight into the sight of a producer (a job created by music technology).  things like meter, tempo, key, volume levels, copy and paste, having sounds fit together, articulations and more all have a factor in this kind of music. Garageband can really meet a variety of NJCCS and is just a great way to get students to a place of independence with composing. Teaching towards composition in garageband gives students a final product they can take home and show their families, it can inspire music composition, appreciation, and listening. This program with its accompaniments or ability to record a students and their instrument has them able to create their own music. Their ideas wonderfully manipulated to create art. Garageband is a good medium for missions of composition.
