I began making music on my computer after giving up teaching dance to have my children. I originally began with Dance eJay 1 and found that I was actually quite good at choosing samples and arranging them to make passable pieces of music.
I made my way progressively through their software packages, eventually branching out to eJay Studio, which allowed me to hook up a midi keyboard and start adding my own material to my songs. I still dip into eJay now and again but most of my music these days is made using GarageBand or Reason 2.5
