What is it about?
The purpose of this case study was to examine the experiences of high school students using GarageBand for iPad in a music technology class to compose original music. Students then shared and presented their works in class during peer-review critique sessions for growth and reflection. This study was carried out in my own classroom, and I served as both teacher and researcher.

Why is it important?
Three themes emerged from my research: music and production features, thinking creatively and instructional roadblocks. Recommendations for music teachers and for future research using music technology are also included.
Perspectives
This study provides a method for music teachers to integrate technology in the classroom or can be adapted for distance learning environments. The study included real quotes from students and provided student-centered perspectives that can be helpful when teachers plan their lessons.
