There is no direct way. This page lists the possibilities to add music to your Music.app: http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iph3cf219ca


To add your own music creations to the Music.app you have to sync it from a computer or to add it to your iCloud Music Library. Both can only be done by sharing your GarageBand song to iTunes and adding it to a iTunes library on a Mac. See: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chs39284d66



Send a GarageBand song to iTunes

  • Tap My Songs, then tap Select.
  • Tap the song you want to send, then tap the Action button User uploaded file.
  • Tap Share Song via iTunes.
  • Do one of the following:
    • To send the song as a GarageBand song, tap GarageBand.
    • To send the song as an audio file, tap iTunes, then tap Share.
    After you tap the iTunes icon, you can choose the quality of the file GarageBand sends to iTunes. You can also add artist, composer, and title information that appears in iTunes.
  • Sync your iPad with your computer.In iTunes, the exported song appears in the Documents list in the File Sharing area when GarageBand is selected.
  • Do one of the following:
    • Drag the song from the GarageBand Documents list to the Finder.
    • Click Save As, navigate to the location where you want to save the song, then click Save.

You can open the GarageBand song in GarageBand on your Mac, or play the audio file in iTunes (or any compatible audio application) on your computer. GarageBand songs cannot be opened on a Windows computer.
