Create a GarageBand File in the **KEY of E MAJOR, TEMPO of 108 BPM**. Save the file to your desktop (or where instructed).

Drag-and-drop the MIDI file into the project's blank Track Window.

Listen to the file. Decide what **instrument sounds** you'd like to use and make the changes to each track.

Adjust the **mix level** between all tracks.

Add **drum loops** that create the groove you'd like for this arrangement. Adjust drum track(s) mix levels.

IF TIME: Ask your instructor for other ideas (and DAW features you might use) to improve your arrangement.


 * Export as an MP3** and turn in to your instructor (i.e. post to the wiki, upload to a Google Drive or Drop Box folder, etc.).
