Garage Band - Apple

OK, so Garage Band is designed for somewhat bigger fingers but watching a three year old master this music software and create their own song including an orchestra and their own vocals is really quite awe-inspiring. The intuitive nature of the iPad makes what is technically quite a difficult process, very straight-forward. We have begun to use Garage Band to replicate our compositions with real percussion instruments by dragging drum instruments onto a grid representing the frequency and tempo of the beats. This really is only quite a short step from Toca Band (reviewed below). Essentially an eight track recording studio, there are probably still more facets of this app that we haven't explored compared to those that we have and the possibilities for musical creativity using it feel endless. The masterpieces you create can be easily stored, shared, emailed straight from the app or sent to iMovie as a soundtrack.
