I have followed Eoin Hughes on Twitter for some time now and enjoy seeing the projects he creates using GarageBand.  This summer he shared that he would be presenting a session at Festival of Learning that would teach educators how to lead students through a process of creating a cover song of a favorite piece using GarageBand.  I attended the session and loved it!  Eoin is a music and geography teacher, as well as a digital leraning coordinator at his school in Ireland.  We talk about the impact of general music education classes and walk through steps you can use to uncover a song using chord structures and building layers in GarageBand.  You’ll want to check out his Cover Songs with GarageBand book on Apple Books to learn more.  Here is Eoin Hughes.
