SONGWRITER SATURDAY: We've written a lot of music in our day, but one of those most difficult yet gratifying is worship music. Whether for your children's ministry to the main service, there's a process you can go through to narrow down your writing style for your church and we highly recommend this method if you are looking to start writing your next worship album.

FOUR/FOUR FRIDAY: For this podcast, we look at a handful of different examples for the time signature 5/4. We were pleasantly surprised to find a playlist on Spotify that included a lot of our favorite songs in this time signature. Check it out below...

THEORY THURSDAY: We mix it up a little bit with our theory Thursday podcast series by discussing what we've already introduced with none other than @arielthelittle!!!! We discuss using a staff to read and write, the number system and also how others that we mentor or have in our bands can implement the Nashville number system as well. 

WORSHIP WEDNESDAY: We echo some of what we discussed last week by discussing the reality of what your team needs to focus on when it comes to worship and don't just think about the "go-to" aspects of worshipping on-stage, but more the creative ways to worship off-stage. Yes, it can be the admin side of worship or cleaning up your PCO song database, but it could also be volunteering in other aspects of your church, helping the youth build something for their ministry or simply just greeting those who walking into the four ways of the church.

TUNING TUESDAY: We introduce this podcast series by talking about what our tunings are and how you can use them in your own music career. This is probably one of the most important topics of our company and we are super excited to reveal all aspects of it on this series of the podcast.

MUSIC BUSINESS MONDAY: Even though we've mentioned it before, we do a deeper dive into the reasons why the only class in college we didn't get an "A" in was music business and why it took us 5-10 years to learn from that mistake!

SINGER SUNDAY: We know it sounds like common sense, but there's definitely more to the statement. As much as we'd like to say as long as you sing ever day you could become the next Ariana Grande, that simply is not the case. You have to envision the crowd, the band, the noise and use it to perfect your singing. The more you do that, the more you will become the singer you were meant to be!

SONGWRITER SATURDAY: We discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of songwriter splits. From writing with your own band to being hired by a publishing company to write songs, songwriter splits are an inevitable part of the process of being a songwriter so don't just assume that everyone is going to have the some approach as you might.

4/4 FRIDAY: On our second Friday podcast series, we talk about the second most used time signature in western music which is 3/4 or what we simply think as the Waltz. We talk about all the different time signatures that apply to playing in three and even listen to a view different examples in some different genres.

THEORY THURSDAY: Piggy backing off of last weeks intro to number system, we are introducing another partner in crime...ear training! Whether you sing or have never sang a note, you can definitely learn something from this intro to ear training.
