  • Manipulate the dynamics of a piece of music, either to create a balanced piece or to create rhythmic interest within it

Within Live Loops, encourage learners to explore using the volume fader in real time to manipulate the volume of individual samples, and create rhythmic interest.

When using the sequencer in GarageBand, show learners how to use the volume faders to alter individual instruments or samples to create a balanced piece of music.

When using certain appropriate virtual instruments (e.g. piano/synths), demonstrate how to change the velocity parameters to allow them to play softly or loudly.
