GarageBand Introduction - Day I

Today Everyone will be working with Mrs. Cohen to review and understand your Official School Transcripts.  This will help you figure out which high schools to apply for.  Please take some time to review your information continue the high school application process we started yesterday.  
Once you have completed this, 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.  Tomorrow I will show you some websites to download sounds and other music that might be interesting.  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). Finally, here is a link to Stanford University's class help site for GarageBand (Click Here).  Once we have watched the video, use the headphones to listen to GarageBand while you create a personal track.  Try to create a track that is 10-15 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 on Friday.  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.
