Integrating GarageBand into the Music Classroom
Course rating: 
Course Description
Presenter: Jim Hayden
The aim of this course is to facilitate teachers who wish to make more use of GarageBand in their programs. The course looks firstly at the main features of GarageBand and the importance of understanding the layout and capabilities of the software. Whilst it is not a requirement to have previous experience with GarageBand, it would be an advantage. The focus will the then turn to utilising GarageBand in a more creative way that encourages good composition techniques as well as focusing on the Concepts of Music and how they can be realised and understood by the student. Participants in the course will gain a practical insight into successful manipulation of the features of this software.

| Good presentation best for the fact that the presenter is in the trenches with current practice. |
| Great to see the lesson plans and especially year 9 composition task. |
| Be good to do online survey or preliminary moodle/similar course which covers the basic tools to allow focus on integration and teaching strategies as well as programs. Well paced, good presentation and useful. |

| I am inspired to adapt Jim's ideas in my teaching. |
| Heaps of good information but more small tasks for us would have been great. The last task was good. |
