rooted music coaching

 Imagine if you could hear a song on the radio and sit down in seconds to play it. What if you could learn the tricks to start doing this today?

Here comes Part 3 of Ear Training!

Over the past two weeks we have been learning how to hear the chords of our favorite songs. Last week we learned how to listen for the lowest pitch and play along.

This week we will learn how to identify what chords are built on that foundation. Get ready to change the way you listen and perform music!

Check out the video!!

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to sit down and play your favorite songs. How about being able to hear a song and play it minutes later? We all know people who can hear any song on the radio and play it seconds later. Wouldn’t you like to know the tips and tricks that the pros use to do this?

You can!!

Welcome back to Part 2 of Ear Training! Over these weeks we will work on using ear training to improve our ability and musical confidence. This week we will learn how to listen for the bass and play along!

Check out the video and get started playing your favorite songs TODAY!

Have you ever been amazed when you see those crazy talented musicians who hear a song and start playing along right away? Even crazier...have you ever seen someone listen to a song from start to finish without touching their instrument and then instantly play it? HOW could that even be possible?

In these next few weeks we want to share with you some resources and areas of practice that will allow you to do those same things and give you confidence in any musical environment that you find yourself in. We will do this through ear training! It will completely transform your approach to learning, retaining, and performing a large catalog of songs and will make you an indispensable musician!

Get ready to take notes! This is a good one!

From the time it takes to make the piece sound like it should, to the way it can overwhelm when you you take a look at all of those notes…

Reading a piece of sheet music can be a daunting task even when you’ve been at it for years.

Today, one our amazing coaches Jonathan, is going to be sharing how you can start reading music better than you ever have before!

Jonathan is a great pianist, composer, singer/songwriter and has some amazing tips to share today!

Check out the video and let us know what you think!

“Practice” probably isn’t what you hoped we’d be talking about today. I don’t know think I know anyone that just absolutely loves practicing.

Whether it’s practice for a sport in the days leading up to a game, a rehearsal prior to an event, or even just your daily practice at home as you work to improve, “practice” is not the reason you get out of bed in the morning.

I think one of the biggest reasons we don’t like practice is because we’re a little scared of it…

Fearing the time commitment it might require, fearing we might not know what to practice, or even fearing failure even after hours spent in practice.

Today, one of our coaches, Jonathan Maiocco, is going to help remove some of those fears and give you confidence heading into your next practice time!

Check out the video and let us know what you think.

Best,

Have you ever wondered what SHOULD come first when writing a song?

Wondered if you should have a melody and chords all laid out prior to starting the lyrics…

Or if lyrics should be the bedrock and then form the melody and chords around the lyrics?

Have you ever wanted to write your own music?

Maybe you’ve had ideas whether musically or lyrically, but never had the teaching to bring those ideas to fruition.

Writing a song can be a daunting task…

There are so many chords to choose from, let alone what key should the song be in??

What parts will all the instruments play?

How do you go about writing lyrics?

What do you do when you just can’t seem to get any ideas out?

Today, we’re going to begin answering those questions for you and give you easy paths to overcome the problems you’ve faced writing your own music!

In today’s video we’re going to walk through how simple and easy it can be to begin writing your own music. And then next week, we’ll get into how to begin writing the lyrics of your song.

Today, I’ll be sharing the story behind Rooted and in that story, I’ll be sharing why we do what we do.

I think our story is important for a few reasons.

First, I think stories have the power to lift spirits and increase faith as we hear what God has done for others, and I hope our story does this for you today!

But, secondly, I think this will help you understand WHY we do what we do. We coach music to students and adults in our physical locations as well as in online formats, but there’s so much MORE to RMC than just music. As you understand the why, it will allow us to better serve you!
