♫On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, GarageBand app.♫
Cost: $4.99
Read the Reviews: iTunes ratings and reviews
Description: In my opinion the GarageBand app is better than the GarageBand for Mac because, as we have experienced with other apps, the app is interactive compared with the Mac program. And this is perfect for music therapists. The app boasts all the same recording power as the program, but makes the experience completely interactive! With the touch of a finger you can play keyboards, organs, guitars of every kind and percussion kits. The options for loops, metronomes, tempo, key changes, stomps, sustain, distortion and much, much more costs less than 5 bucks. I’ve already gotten my 5 bucks worth and I’ve only had the app for a couple months!
Applications for Music Therapy: Recording, songwriting, rapping, fostering creativity and musicality, developing musical skills and familiarity with a variety of musical instruments, promoting self-esteem, improving listening skills…and the list goes on and on! GarageBand can be as simple or as complex as you need it to be for each client!
Apple’s Promo Video for GarageBand: If I can’t convince you, the video will. =)
