GarageBand and Lyrics

Welcome To GarageBand!

If you did not bring headphones today, you cannot complete today's assignment.  You must work on the MUSIC LYRICS Assignment at the bottom of this post!

Please follow the directions below to begin creating
music with GarageBand.  If you have already used this program, it is
your obligation in class to help others.  YOU MAY ONLY USE GARAGEBAND. 
YOU MAY NOT LISTEN TO MP3's OR OTHER COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE MUSIC.  Today is your day to familiarize
yourself with how the program works, and how to navigate around the
different toolboxes.  Save anything that you want to keep by uploading
files to your Google Drive.  Because other students use these computers,
there is no guarantee that your work will be here tomorrow.

Good Luck!

Mr. S

GARAGEBAND INTRODUCTION:

Open Apple's GarageBand Application.  First, here is the Apple GarageBand 11 Tutorial Video (Click Here) Here is a longer tutorial from YouTube (Click Here).  You can also use this site for a document on how to get started from APPLE (Click Here).  Once you have watched the video, use the headphones to listen
to GarageBand while you create a personal track.  Try to create a track
that is 20-25 seconds and includes any of the instruments listed in the
Loop Browser.  You will be using the final cut of this track you are
creating as the background for the Marquise Project in IMovie later in the Marking Period.  Make sure it sounds like you want it too.  When you are done
look under the SHARE section to Export Song To Disk and save it.  You
might want to Upload it to your GDrive so you do not lose it.
