You’re listening to Artbeat Radio, a program of Able ARTS Work. CECA Learning Music Class Students: Welcome to ArtBeat Radio. At CECA, the Musical Learning class chose to use music to learn about topics of their choice. They want to learn about anything and everything-- travel, dogs, butterflies, cooking, and music. PJ: Students chose to virtually travel to Turkey, Africa, and Jamaica to learn about the culture, food, and music. Using Garageband loops, students decided which sounds they liked, where they wanted them placed, and how they wanted to mix the track. This is Turkey. *music plays* PJ: This is Africa. *music plays* PJ: This is Jamaica. *music plays* PJ: Students wrote this funky beat while learning about different breeds of dogs. *music plays* PJ: In their butterfly lessons, students chose to rewrite two songs-- "Love" by Nancy Adams from Disney's Robin Hood and "Love is Like a Butterfly" by Dolly Parton. They used fun facts and dreamed of what it would be like to be a butterfly when writing the lyrics. *music plays* Lyrics: Oh, I’d love to be a butterflyIn the sun flying highDrinking nectar from the sweetest flowersI could fly and dance for hoursOnce we watched a peaceful world go byNow the time is nighLife is brief, live day by dayLove is here to stay PJ: We hope you enjoy! Here we go! 1, 2, 3, go! *music plays* Lyrics: Love is like a butterflyAs soft and gentle as a sighThe multicolored moods of love are like its satin wingButterflies fly like a kiteThey flutter like soft wings in flightLove is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing They see red, yellow, greenFly when 86 degreesI love to see a butterfly in morning or at nightTheir exoskeletons so neatI’d really like to beA butterfly who flies around from trees oh so sweet Love is like a butterflyAs soft and gentle as a sighThe multicolored moods of love are like its satin wingButterflies fly like a kiteIt flutters like soft wings in flightLove is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing Your laughter brings me sunshineAnd everyday is spring timeAnd I am only happy when you are by my sideHow precious is this love we shareHow very precious, sweet and rareTogether we belong like daffodils and butterflies Love is like a butterflyAs soft and gentle as a sighThe multicolored moods of love are like its satin wingButterflies fly like a kiteIt flutters like soft wings in flightLove is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thingLove is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing PJ: We hope you enjoyed listening to this episode of Artbeat Radio.
