CHILDREN? This is great! This is a bunch of 8th graders? Basically kids? Wow! The musicianship is wonderful! And, the boys singing can definitely sing, they can be taught some finesse and when their confidence builds they'll be great! So you're a music teacher? I wish I was in your class. You guys must have a blast! Wonderful tune. I'm looking forward to hearing more! Check out my latest song called tick tock

CHILDREN? This is great! Yes we had fun! It was the first time trying a project like this. I'm making it a regular part of the grade 8 course. We also use Garaeband and Finale for writing and recording music in the other classes from grade 6-11. Thanks! Mike Check out my latest song called Open Your Eyes

music sharing Eigth-graders? That's, what, 13 and 14-year olds? Not only composing and playing and singing, but also making a pointed political statement? I'm not sure what the laud the most - your school, your classroom, your students, your mentoring ... or the Macintosh and GarageBand! This is how you learn - you throw yourself into making things. My guess is this is the kind of educational experience that lights a fire in kids' minds. In not sure if macjams is the perfect place for them to be sharing their efforts (I say this because one of the premises of macjams is give-and-take, and without them having their own personal pages, they don't have the opportunity to review and critique other work). However, I hope you share more of their work - as well as yours - because it does expand the concept of music sharing. Check out my latest song called Pushing and Pulling

this is wonderful mike I'm reading some of the comments and wondering if some of these folks read the bio... I'd give anything if you where teaching my kids... these students will always remember this class project... and who knows how this will effect them.... I would have loved to have a class where this would have been available... they did a good job coming up with a coherent piece... I'd be mortified to post what I was doing in 8th grade A class Check out my latest song called Good Morning

Nice job Be proud of what you've made. It sounds great. It would be nice if you could take a snap shot and post a group picture of them along with the song. Wish I had had technology and a music instructor/teacher like you when I was in the 8th grade. Keep up the GREAT work, mvh ; ) Check out my latest song called Ease My Troubled Mind

Nice job Oh I'm very proud of them! I can't wait to show them MacJams in the fall and everyone's comments. I wanted to have a picture and cover art design and everything, but we were down to the wire for June andit all coincided with the birth of our baby girl where I was out for a week. I'm working on remixing and remastering the tune now. I did a rush job finishing so they could get a CD for report card day. Thanks for the comments. I'm looking forward to mutting the iMac to much more use this year! Mike T. Check out my latest song called Open Your Eyes
