You can't stop the beat
Composition
Create a Garageband composition using loops from You Can't Stop the Beat. This can be used as a backing track for improvisation or practising.
1. Open up a new project in Garageband. Download the six You Can't Stop the Beat loops and import these into Garageband. Your teacher can help you with this. This small set of loops are based on the rhythm patterns you have been studying. If you (or your school) don't have access to Garageband, use Soundation instead for your composition. You can also access Soundation at home as it is an online program.
