GarageBand quits when I try to open lessons and lesson store.

I want to learn to play the piano and when I open a new project and try to choose "Learn to play" or "Lesson store" the program quits. Every time. I have the most updated version of the app as well as the latest operating system on my MacBook Pro. I have tried all the generic Apple Support restarts and reinstalls but nothing works.

I would like a non rubber stamp response as every similar response from apple is the same and does not work.

Please help

Since you don't tell us what you did, it is hard not to repeat other advice.

One thing that can sometimes solve weird errors like this is to restart in Safe mode and try it:

I had the exact same issue. Tried several suggested remedies. I think that the last few MacOS updates are causing problems. On my laptop, I have the latest Garage Band but my OS is back a few versions. On my desktop, what I did was to go back to a December 2022 version of Garage Band via Time Machine (version 10.4.7). That worked. I tried some other versions and still same issue so the December 2022 version seemed to be the one that is now working for me with macOS 14.3.1. If you do not have a previous Garage Bandversion on Time Machine, I'm not sure how to get one.
