Garage Band

Garage Band is a place where you can make music. You have plenty of instruments you can choose from and plenty of tunes for your song. Once you have gotten into Garage Band, you can choose what you want your song to be called. You can always change your song's name after you finish creating it or while you're in the making. There will be a grand piano on the computer screen after you chose the name of your song. You can play the piano and make your song really simple or, you can exit out of that and click on icon of an eye towards the bottom left. There will be tons of instruments you can choose from. It's all up to you. Once, you have selected an instrument of your choice, you can click on a tune and listen to it. If you like it and want it to be in your sing, just drag to the timeline. Suppose the instrument you picked was a guitar and the tune you chose was Country Guitar 01. You dragged it to the timeline but it doesn't have a beat. You want there to be a drum and you want them to play at the same time. Select a drum beat and drag right under the tune that you selected. So then, your drum will play while the tune above is playing as well. If you want your tune to play for a longer amount of time, extend it by dragging the end of the block (your tune) and TA-DA!!!
