Welcome back to Artbeat Radio! Today we hear from Lisa, a musician from our Mobile Arts Program. Lisa has set a goal to learn one new piece of music a month and is excited to share two pieces of music that she has been working on in her music therapy sessions. Lisa has recorded the songs "Let it Be" by The Beatles, and "Spread My Wings" by Troop. In Lisa's rendition of "Let it Be" she has been learning how to voice lead her chords and play in different inversions! In Lisa's rendition of "Spread My Wings", you will hear her playing some more challenging chords, and singing along. For the month of March, Lisa's next goal is to learn the "Pokémon Theme Song" on the piano. Enjoy! Thanks for listening and tune in next time!
