What’s it like turning happy songs into sad songs? Does it really make the song that much sadder and moody? Yes, yes it does. In this video, Lisa and Sam take 3 songs that were written in a major key and turn them into something the artist may have written on their darkest day.

While the integrity of the song remains the same, the sentiment and feeling surrounding the song become drastically different. You might even find that you like the minor version of the song better than the original! Let’s find out.

About Lisa:
“I love to help students unlock their full musical potential. I have taught in a wide variety of settings from Music for Young Children to helping recording artists prepare their songs for the road. I also have specialized experience working with children that struggle with learning, developmental, and physical disabilities. While my background is classical, I’m currently focusing on helping my students play the music they love by ear! I’m excited to be a part of YOUR journey as you learn how to sight-read, play by ear, and progress through musical theory. It is going to be fun!”
