She supports teachers in using the MATB curriculum effectively through ongoing classroom visits. A professional R&B and Jazz vocalist and songwriter for more than 20 years, Lisala’s voice is featured on many of the curriculum recordings. Her interpretations of the MATB piano songs help students internalize the repertoire they are learning on a deeper level.

Prior to working with MATB, Lisala worked as a Senior Account Manager for Vivendi Universal Net USA, the Walt Disney Internet Group and Ziff-Davis.

Working with MATB has fulfilled a personal dream to work with young children and help facilitate them learning music in elementary school; something Lisala wishes existed when she was a student.
