The teacher supplies a silent 30-second clip of a storm building and breaking, with no people in it, and the class watches it to mark the three moments where the mood changes. Over two lessons each child composes a 30-second track in GarageBand, using Smart Instruments and percussion they record themselves to build from light rain to a thunder crash and back. They export the track, add it to the clip in Adobe Express through the school's education accounts and play the two together, then go back to GarageBand to move or change any section that misses its moment. Finished videos stay in the school's accounts and are shown within the class.
