Course Description

GarageBand for iPad has been in music classrooms for almost a decade.

Its intuitive user interface was revolutionary and it has provided thousands of students with wonderful musical experiences.

However, there’s even more power lurking beneath the surface of this app. 

We provide all of the resources you need to structure a Gig Based Approach to mastering GarageBand for iPad.

 Participants will go deeper into GarageBand by accepting a ‘gig’ to create a fully realised piece of music through a series of scaffolded composition experiences. 

We’ll cover all of the hidden gems that are often overlooked and equip you to help your students to master GarageBand for iPad as they create great sounding musical compositions. 

Course participants will also have ongoing access to a suite of GarageBand for iPad digital instructional materials that can be provided to students upon returning to your classrooms.

Gig Based Learning  (GBL)

Gig Based Learning (GBL)

Gig Based Learning is a musically informed, philosophically driven learning design and facilitation process. It gives teachers tools to provide students with opportunities for active, engaging, real-world music(k)ing with/for an authentic audience. Building on the integrated learning experiences model - performance, composition, musicology, aural, GBL puts all of these experiences to work for the benefit of producing a great gig, contextualising the learning for the student so that it’s ‘just in time’ not ‘just in case’
