Garageband

*PLEASE DO NOT TEACH MAGIC GARAGEBAND!!!!

Some of you are using “Magic” GarageBand. However, many of the students are already proficient in GarageBand through music classes, learning valuable skills such as timbre (sounds), dynamics (volume), etc. It is important that the knowledge and skills taught in music are seen as practical and universal, being applicable to classes throughout the MYP programme. Please allow them to use the standard GarageBand as much as possible.

These SLOs refer to the music portion of GarageBand only and do not include podasts.
