Such a great resource with some really innovative and alternative ways to be inspired to create music. Thanks for sharing! I'll be sharing this with my classes, especially pre-service music teachers. 😎

Live Loops Poetry: a GarageBand project for early learners
Here in the US, April is National Poetry Month, a time where educators and learners can celebrate the important place poetry has in our lives. As a former elementary music teacher and tech coach, I saw this month as the perfect time to collaborate with classroom teachers, merging literacy skills with music creation — thus the inspiration for Live Loops Poetry: a GarageBand project for early learners.
There are four different poetic structures to choose from.
To best support all learning styles, the book features:
- Step-by-step instructions
- Media galleries with callouts
- Video demo of a final project
I’ve always ❤️ learning experiences that provide our students with the ability to see themselves in the project. Now with Live Loops Poetry, our students can hear themselves in the project as well.
Live Loops Poetry is available here on Apple Books.
I can’t wait to hear (and see) what your students create.

Love your book Erika - and the sounds in the demo - so fun! Thanks for reminding us about the music connection learners can make to poetry and providing the GarageBand guide to do so. Perfect for April!
Such a wonderful project, Erika! 🤩
I love everything about this book, from the hand-drawn designs and icons, to how it combines poetry and loops to encourage learners to explore music making with GarageBand in such a fun, creative, and personalised way!
Live Loops Poetry FTW! 🙌
