iPad Band: Running a digital ensemble with GarageBand

Bring the excitement of music-making into your school with iPad Band: Running a Digital Ensemble.

A practical, hands-on training session designed for primary and secondary teachers. This engaging course will show you how to set up and run a lunchtime or after-school club where iPads become the instruments and students become the band. Explore how to use virtual instruments (VSTs) such as digital bass, drums, guitar, and keyboards to create full-band experiences without traditional instruments. During the session, you'll have the opportunity to play along to iconic tracks like The Final Countdown, Blinding Lights, and the Doctor Who theme, as well as timeless classics including Ode to Joy and Canon in D. Whether you're a music specialist or simply enthusiastic about digital creativity, you'll leave with the confidence and practical skills to lead your own iPad ensemble, spark student engagement, and bring contemporary music-making into your school community.
