Classroom Activities:
Garage band gives users a range of opportunities to make recordings, create music, edit audio, add loops and mix a project, which can then be turned into a podcast! Effectively an entire music studio is available to those with Apple computers/tablets/phones to record sounds from live events or from musical instruments, or even learn how to play the instruments via online lessons. Recordings can be arranged, trimmed and manipulated to attain desired effects and there is also an option to synchronize video frames with the audio project.
