A New Mindset for Developing Worship Teams

Most churches are only one to three team members away from a volunteer crisis. That might sound dramatic, but if you’re leading a worship team, you’ve probably felt it. One person moves, another burns out, someone’s schedule changes—and suddenly the whole rotation feels fragile. The truth is this: every church needs an intentional plan for worship team development. Not just a plan to fill spots, but a plan to grow people.

What I Learned from Failing my 2024 Goals

I’ve always wanted to be a goal setter, after all, I believe that if you can’t get anywhere with intentionality if you don’t have a roadmap. What I actually needed to do what shift my thinking about my goals, and what I learned from my 2024 failures that will set me up for future goal setting. I had too many goals in different categories- When I set my goals in the future, I will focus on 2-3 areas that will have the maximum impact. My goals were not grounded in the reality of everyday life- My Goals are to move me in the direction of success, knowing momentum will snowball into success. My goals were too lofty and higher-level that I struggled to translate that into daily effort. I was not prepared to sacrifice what it took to achieve these goals- It’s easy to want the goals in December, but it’s a lot harder to sacrifice for success in March. When setting goals, I need to think of what achieving them will cost me. I focused on the results, not the work required. The output versus the input. I need to have my goals be rooted in the actions and decisions I will make, not the results I want. This way, I can hone in on the daily actions I need, not the desired result. I know if I do the disciplined input, I’ll get the wanted output. One of my 2025 goals is to continue building KF Music Studio into a platform that helps develop aspiring musicians in Confidence and Character, and if you are reading this, you are a part of this!

6 Tips for Maximizing your Private Lessons

In this episode, we’re talking some general tips on how to maximize your private lessons. 1. Be clear with your goals and what you want to accomplish. This includes when you are starting and throughout the lessons process to make sure you are learning the concepts you want to learn. 2. Be coachable and have the proper mindset. My teaching, no matter how good it is, will not help you if you do not trust my judgement and allow me to coach you. 3. Be an active participant in the lessons. Ask questions, take notes, and give maximum effort. As a Teacher, I am here to help you get to your goals, and I will do my best the best way I know how, you need to do your part by giving your best effort. 4. Commit to showing up every week. I can not teach you if you are not here, and you will feel stalled in your playing if you are not committed to your lesson time. 5. Your private lessons time should not be the only time you play. For every half an hour weekly lesson, you should be playing at least 30 minutes, 3-4 days a week to really internalize the lesson content for that week. If you come into your lesson without playing the week before, our lessons will feel stale because we need to keep covering the same topics. 6. Play outside of your lessons materials. You should be working on your lesson materials, but also it’s important to continue to play and practice other materials as well. Having balance in your playing will ensure you are learning and growing, while also having fun and enjoying a life-long love of music! We are now booking for online lessons, where I want to help YOU achieve your goals. Jump on a free call with me and let us discuss how we can get you to finally learn your musical instrument!

The Most Important Aspect to Music Theory

Every song you have ever heard has used the major scale to organize the notes and chords used in the song. No matter the instrument you are learning, knowing how to build notes and chords in a major scale is the most important skill to have as a musician. The Major Scale informs us: What notes naturally fit together in a key and which ones don’t. Since most every song exists inside of a major scale (even songs in minor) This gives us language around what our ears naturally hear. What chords to use naturally and which ones don’t naturally occur. This gives our music direction and function and tells us which chords “fit” inside the key and which ones deviate away from the key. What scales to use as a starting spot for creating melodies and improvising- Knowing the major scale allows us to create melodies and solos that will fit over the chords we used in the key. What shapes to use on the guitar and the bass- This gives our guitar playing a starting point, and informs us what chords we’re using. The major scale also gives us the patterns to use on guitar and bass to give us a launching point in our playing. What notes and chords create tension, and which notes resolve that tension. Since music is all tension and release, we need to know which notes and chords create tension, and which ones resolve it. How to build the relative minor scale. We use the relative major scale as a starting point to know which notes naturally exist inside the minor scales. Learning how to build a major scale is the best first step to making music theory make sense for you. I have created a free guide gift for you that walks you through the 9 building blocks of music theory and I would be honored if you’d check it out!

5 Tips for a Better Practice Routine

In this podcast episode, we explore 5 tips to developing a better practice routine. Decide that practice is important to you- you have to make time for the things that are important to you Change your mindset around practicing- balance playing your instrument with practicing it. Music should be enjoyed, and if you are out of balance, you’ll lose momentum Mark it in your calendar, and commit to it- make it a non-negotiable so you can achieve your goals! Get creative in the times and locations around it, work it into the rhythms of your day- every day, and every week can be different. Maybe an early morning or right before bed is the best time for you to pick up your instrument Focus on qualitative goals, instead of quantitative goals- Set a reasonable goal for a specific practice session, and practice until you got that down, regardless of time limit If you need some more coaching into playing your instrument, consider taking online lessons with me!
