Use Schoolwork with GarageBand for iPad
With the Schoolwork app, teachers can add GarageBand activities to handouts and assign them to their students. A project can also be attached to a handout and shared between teacher and students via iCloud Drive.
To use GarageBand with Schoolwork, the Schoolwork app must be installed on your iPad, and you must sign in with the Managed Apple Account for your school or class. If you need help with your Managed Apple Account, contact your teacher (teachers should contact their school administrator).
