Garage Band #2 Creating a Song with Loops

Objective: Students will create a short piece of music (30 seconds) using Garageband loops. This piece will have at least four different tracks that relate to each other musically through genre or rhythm.

Instructions:

1) Open a New Project in Garageband using a Loops Template

2) Choose a rhythm track (beats, drums, percussion, bass or guitar)

3) Add more tracks by clicking the Reset button and choosing new instruments of your choice and dragging and dropping the loops. Loops don't need to be placed side by side - you can give your musical passages some "air" which will give your song more definition and sound more composed.

4) If you wish to keep your song and use it in a movie, send the song to iTunes (under "Share" in the navigation bar.
