Happy Holidays, everyone! This week we’re talking about songwriting. Yousician maestro Markus joined us to talk about the songwriting process behind every song by The Yousicians in the app, including our new song about the evolution of Santa Claus. Check back on December 25 for the music video!
You'll also be able to play the song yourself in the app as part of our Weekly Challenge on December 24.
