It will even restrict using certain features within an app. To enable go to Settings – General -‐ Accessibility – Guided Access. With the app open, press the home key 3 times to activate. Home Screen – Set the home/lock screen to display a number or icon. If you have students working projects that last multiple class periods this ensures that they get the same iPad each time. Assessment – The iPad makes it easy to create quick videos. Your students can evaluate their classroom performances immediately. In my classroom, we collaboratively complete a rubric on iPad after viewing a video or a live performance. I upload a PDF of the completed rubric to my DropBox account and then post a link in EducateAlabama.

Lesson Subject/Title: iPad GarageBand Improvising and Composition Grade(s): Multiple NAfME Standard(s) • • 3 – Improvising melodies, variations, and accompaniments 4 – Composing and arranging music within specified guidelines Objectives of this lesson: • • • Students will improvise melodies and rhythms. Students will compose and record original 3-6 part (or more) arrangements using rhythms/melodies they select to make permanent because of their improvisation. Students will demonstrate knowledge of harmony and melody (difference between) Knowledge/Skills students should have prior to this lesson: • • • Steady Beat using 2, 3, and 4 beats per measure (4/4), and if older students 6/8 time signature (2 big beats and/or 6 little beats) Guitar strings (EBGDAE) Harmony/Melody Materials Needed for this lesson: • • • iPad(s) with Pre-set Chord Structures (orders) – o Teacher will set up the iPads to have a specific set of chords and time signature for students to use. Once students gain experience, the students can set up their own chords and change the time signatures. GarageBand App Paper and Pencil (to write chord order) – depending on level of student, you can provide pre-done paper showing measures and number of beats per measure, or you can have students write this on their papers. Introduction/Preparation for Lesson: • • Practice steady beat using 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, 6/8 (as needed) Practice beat and subdivision of beat Lesson Activities: • • • • • • Put students in groups of 2-4 depending on the number of iPads available. Have them open GarageBand on their iPads (you open it on yours too). Use the “+” sign (top left) to “Create a New Song” HARMONY – Scroll through to the Smart Guitar – depending on the level of students, you may want them to turn the auto play knob to 1, 2, 3, or 4 (or have them not use the auto play). o Review Harmony versus Melody. Ask which this instrument would be good for in their compositions. o Have students improvise to determine what the harmonic structure will be for their piece – they should write their chosen chord order and when to change (what beats) on their paper – give them enough time to do this (try not to shortchange if at all possible). o Students should record their harmony background using the smart guitar. Then, have them choose one additional instrument (strings or piano) to create an additional harmony that will play along with the “smart guitar.” They will record this in a new track. o Students may also want to add a rhythm track (this is your choice) to enhance the harmonic “background.” Depending on your preference, you could begin with this step. MELODY – Add a new track and choose piano (or guitar for older students). Students can tap the picture of the instrument and choose different variations of the instrument. o Each student in the group should have the opportunity to create his/her OWN melody. Students should record each group member’s melodies with the harmonic background they created. After each recording, they should listen and constructively and politely evaluate the music for “creative” elements. Then they can vote on the melody that they want to choose. o Alternately, students can collectively create a melody for their composition by having each improvise several times and having the others indicate the parts of the melodies they “really like.” o OPTION: Students could “mix” harmony and melody concepts by creating an alternate harmony to the melody line. Record the final product and save in the appropriate place Evaluation (informal and formal) Your informal evaluation will happen as you travel from group to group and help students when they are struggling. Your formal evaluation can be done in a variety of ways: (1) you assess each group or (2) the whole class assesses each group using an appropriate rubric
