Abstract: Using technology within our classrooms to promote 21st century learning has been an expectation for most teachers. For those originally from South Africa are now teaching abroad it is expected that every individual should be familiar with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP), that is the norm. Focusing on the Music curriculum it is important to understand the PYP programme and how to make provisions for those using technology to enhance their compositional skills as part of the responding module of PYP. The following research paper discusses the PYP programme focusing on the Arts and how to implement Garage Band into your music curriculum creating opportunities for students to engage, share, be creative and compose music, which is the emphasis of the IB curriculum. Students have to become natural inquirers and through guiding them to complete research, which demonstrates their understanding of the music concept being taught. The following research is completed to enlighten music teachers of how to integrate technology within their music programme for PYP.
