Garage Band....................February 21 and 24
Class Description: Intended for people who would like to create songs using Garageband. This class will allow students to learn and practice some of the basic features and tools provided in Garageband. The class will consist of two sessions and last two hours each. Students who would like a heads up on the class can watch the video of the instructor's Garageband presentation by clicking on the "Learn-it" tab on the Macswest website. The instructor will generally be demonstrating the same features as in the presentation, but in more depth, while students, hands-on, can practice the steps on the lab computers. To keep the progress of the class moving together and efficiently, students should, and only need, very basic knowledge of music. If you can play at least one song on the piano with a couple chords, know the "C" scale, and have a creative and curious spirit, you're ready for the class.
Class limited to 8 students. All will use the lab computers.
Prerequisites: Mac Basics class or a working knowledge of the menu bar and its uses.
