Today in class, the professor messed around with garage band some more which helps with my understanding of it since I had no prior knowledge of it or practice with it. I was glad to learn we were able to incorporate a song into our musical creation and put our own spin on it because that makes it all the more exciting and I’m sure the whole class can agree. I’m grateful he demonstrated how to find and apply the midifile. I’m still not totally clear on how to operate it but through exploration of it I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it in no time. It seems like a really fun project and I’m happy I have the opportunity to play with garage band because I know artists who use it and it’ll be exciting to be an artist for a day or 5 days, however long it takes for me to understand and whip up something I think is worth presenting for a grade. I also look forward to writing about my experience with garage band which won’t just be for a grade– I enjoy writing and I love simply reflecting on anything I’ve done, big or small. Also, the fact that it doesn’t have to be formal will make my reflection all the more real and unique to me. Thanks for this opportunity!
