Garage Band

Although, many Mac computers already come with this app, I think it is very useful to mention it, especially if you are a music teacher. This app is designed to create and record music. It comes with different instruments and sounds but to ensure that works best, it is good to have a keyboard that connects to the computer so it is easy to record a melody. Then in the computer the instruments that are meant to be used can be assigned. It comes with a metronome to guide the recording and to keep the rhythm throughout the melody. Another cool feature is that musical staff can be uploaded to the program, so students can hear the melody and follow the rhythm easily. In my opinion this app is really good and can make a difference in the music class. At the beginning it is tricky to use and requires a lot of practice to get used to it, however, the results are almost as good as a record studio.
