Donovan Dorrance hails from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where he trained as a multi-instrumentalist before moving to Brooklyn to tour with his sister’s dance company, Dorrance Dance, later becoming music director and composing original music for the company. Outside of dance, Donovan continues to compose for film, theatre, and podcasts, as well as produces and mixes music for other artists. He’s been with golden lotus studio since the beginning of 2020 and feels very privileged to get to share music with others on a daily basis.

the ability to record yourself and feel comfortable using GarageBand
Basically, yes.
Technically, there are ways to install and run GarageBand on Windows. Because Apple makes GarageBand and does not officially support a version of GarageBand for Windows, there’s not one official way to make this happen. Some brief research online will show you how a number of others have managed to make it work, but we will not be covering how to do this. GarageBand is free for Mac computers, so if you have a Mac, it’s as easy as opening up your app store and downloading (if GarageBand is not already installed on your computer). If you have Windows (or a PC running another operating system) and are successfully running the latest version of GarageBand, then great! Join us! The lessons we offer cover working within GarageBand so nothing should be different for you.
Great question! Upon purchasing, you’ll immediately have access to a PDF that contains your very first assignment: making sure you’ve got the gear that best suits you! We simplify it so you don’t have to spend time researching, but keep in mind that if you don’t currently own recording gear you WILL be spending a bit of money on gear. This will make sure you’re set up and ready to go by the time you start tackling the videos. If you have questions about budget, email himself [at] garygrundei.com and we’ll answer your questions
What we’ve found here at golden lotus studio is that there’s just no substitute for devoting yourself to a course. By joining us, you’re subjecting yourself to a level of accountability that’s simply not present when you casually surf YouTube. You’re going to engage with the material in a different way, you’re going to show up in a different way, and you will be supported in a different way. Plus, we’re all about community at golden lotus studio. So, when you finish or at any step along the way, we’re here for you to connect via any of our other LIVE online offerings. At gls, you’re never in this alone.
