Xander Soren with Apple's product marketing showcased several new features in iLife '11's Garageband including:
Groove matching, termed an automatic "spell checker" for bad rhythm, or as TUAW's Kelly Guimont just observed: "Thanks to Garageband, your second grader's Christmas concert can sound like the cast of Glee!"
Flextime to make an audio clip longer or shorter
Piano and guitar lessons built into the software that includes music recorded by an Indiana chamber group. You get scored on lessons and can see exactly where you missed -- shades of Rock Band and Guitar Hero
