Melody/Harmony through MIDI:
Students use MIDI keyboards and Garageband to create short compositions that include a melodic line and an underlying harmonic accompaniment. To focus our energies on learning the software and the concepts of harmony/melody, students are encouraged to use only black keys on the keyboard so that the notes played are easily harmonized with one another (being that all black keys fit into the pentatonic scale).
