The first Musical Autist GarageBand iPad2 upload.Why?Because I don't expect my students to do anything that I'm not willing to do myself. This was my first shot at teaching myself how to use GarageBand (I've still never used it on the cpu - I'm classically trained remember - I never had the motivation to learn it, until Musical Autists started coming into my life. :) Anyways, this was just 3 tracks, acoustic grand piano, vocals, each thru the iPad microphone, and then the drum track which I mixed up myself - it was easy and fun enough to really help me overcome my super-criticalness of myself and the frustration of a upteenth number of retakes. I wrote the song for my mom when she got remarried in 2003, to one of the most awesome, loving, kind and humble men I've ever met - Greg. I played it in their wedding.Then I pulled it back out in 2007 for her 60th birthday.I held my piano students' spring recital that day, in her honor. I switched a few words to make exclusively for her birthday (the version you hear now) and performed it for her at the recital.Four years later, yet again, the song will now take on a permanent value.I plan on learning how to negotiate GarageBand/iPad2/Soundcloud with this and a few other little songs I wrote.Why?Because, I expect my students to do the same thing!
