It’s the year 2017 and technology is advancing more and more each and every year. By next year we may even have flying cars that run off of recycled paper…probably not. Today’s musician has access to so many great technological advances that were unavailable ten years ago. Although one of the pieces you may be currently learning is over 100 years old, that does not mean that you have to practice the same way that your grandparents may have. There are many great apps, programs, websites that I could list that can help you become a better musician like Garage band, Smart music, Musictheory.net Tenuto…etc., but today I want to talk about some of the ways I use the program GarageBand in my classroom and in private lessons.
