Mr. Witte's Music Technology Blog

Music Tech Lab, Rm. 155

This class is for high school students at Winnebago Lutheran Academy who want to learn how to make music on computers. We use Audacity and Garageband as our main tools, and we have fun almost every single day figuring out how to make music using audio and MIDI, but we also learn how to record vocals and instruments and even play guitar and drums if we need to.

We keep personal blogs (look on the right column of this page and click on our names) to help us remember what we've been working on, keep track of the all the decisions that we've made on our projects, and to share with our family and friends the music that we've created.

Final Project Sneak Peek!

Go to YouTube and search for any of these Beatles songs.  Start listening to them and ask yourself "which ones could I perform myself? (either on the computer, live, or a combination).  Comment to this article which songs you would like to see the complete scores for and I'll get them to you.  The number after each song is the page number of that song in the book The Beatles Complete Scores published by Hal Leonard.

The following songs are the ones that I thought were some of the easier ones to cover. Some are harder than others. You may want to cover a song that is not listed here. Check with me to see if I have it and to see its score.

Act Naturally 18, All Together Now 33, All You Need is Love 39, And I Love Her 44, Blackbird 122, Can’t Buy Me Love 137, Day Tripper 176, Eleanor Rigby 243, Fixing a Hole 270, Fool on the Hill 282, Getting Better 308, Goodnight 342, Got to Get You Into My Life 347, Hello Goodbye 365, Here Comes the Sun 385, Hey Jude 403, I Am the Walrus 425, If I Fell 449, I’ll Follow the Sun 467, I’m a Loser 475, I Want to Hold Your Hand 565, Let It Be 603, The Long and Winding Road 614, Love Me Do 635, Michelle 679, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da 725, Paperback Writer 762, Penny Lane 767, P.S.
