"Wow. I just learned more in 15 minutes than I did in an entire semester of a digital music class I took in college." -Jordan Miller

This course helped me get past those misconceptions and I am now recording all the time with ease... This instructor is easy to follow and really funny which makes it fun to watch.

"Great course on Garageband and thorough introduction to modern music production techniques." -George Theotokis
"Hands down the best introduction to GarageBand out there. Dean takes it from the basics, but fills in enough detail to keep the course engaging and inspiring even if you have a little experience with the program already. He has a really fun teaching style, which makes for an entertaining as well as informative course. Probably the best thing about it is the fact that there are lots of examples of real songs Dean has written and produced in GarageBand. These aren't just great for demoing GarageBand techniques, but they're also pretty inspirational as jump boards for your own songwriting too. Really happy with the course - recommend it wholeheartedly for anyone just starting out, or returning to GarageBand after a long time away!" -Richard West-Soley
