PLN: Garage Band

Using Garage Band for a project was very helpful.  Pre-recording the accompaniment helped a lot when I had to record all of the vocal parts.  This could be a really helpful technique in the classroom.  I could record the piano part of a song and give it to students to use in Garage Band.  This way, they can practice songs at home and also give me a copy of them singing it at their best.  They can also practice with each other and compare their singing.  Students could also learn and practice harmonies with themselves and other people.  I could also record certain parts for students and give them the individual parts to practice with.  Overall, there are many great teaching techniques that can be used through Garage Band.

  1. I agree, GarageBand can be a very useful tool for the claws room. I was planning to use GarageBand in a similar way. I was planning to record parts and have the students use them as their personal music minus one.
