Some have even watched the tutorial video when they first opened the program. But don't assume this recording program that comes free with every Apple computer is a just some novelty fun music game... Even after their first session at Brookline Music School's GarageBand/Digital Recording class, students realize there's a LOT more to GarageBand than they originally thought! Of course, every student will learn the basics of recording, but they also receive a thorough education in song writing, music theory, arranging, and using their own instrumental skill to record great songs; they'll even be singing!! GarageBand is an invaluable tool to the student who wants more out of music than just learning the notes.=0D=0A==0D=0A=Class Length: 14-weeks/60-minutes =0D=0A=Instructor: Scott Pittman   =0D=0A=Cost: $325=0D=0A=When: TBA=0D=0A==0D=0A=iPad Band! NEW!  8 Years & Up=0D=0A=There are quite a few kids at Brookline Music School waiting for their lessons while playing on their iPad or iPod touch.

Plus, they are really fun!!=0D=0A==0D=0A=iPad band! is exactly what it seems: students getting together and playing the many varied instruments available on their multimedia devices, and working out a program of popular songs to be debuted at an upcoming recital. But in iPad band!, students will be switching different instruments for each song, playing some instruments they've never even heard of, understanding the concepts of all the basic family of instruments, and showing what it takes to be part of an ensemble. Plus, think of how cool it will be being part of the first ever iPad recital!!=0D=0A==0D=0A=Students are encouraged to bring their own iPad, iPod touch, iPhone, or any other device that has access to digital music apps, but Brookline music school has two iPads for use to any students who don't have access to one.
