Let loose the songs of their soul.
Your child was born with a love for music.
We all were.
No one has to teach us to love the sound of songs.
It’s why we use melodies to put our children to sleep.
Or teach them to share.
Or help pass the time on a long trip in the car.
Songs inspire us. Soothe us. And help us connect with God.
Why not develop their God-given love into a skill they can enjoy for the rest of their life?
Welcome to Rooted Music Online
An intuitive music course, with a great big promise.
Your child will learn to play.
Hi! I’m Chris Brink, the founder of Rooted Music Coaching and your coach in our Online Music Lesson series.
Leading worship has been an incredible experience for me. Not only has it been the perfect avenue for me to connect with God, it’s given me the opportunity to witness thousands of people around the world make that connection, too.
I’ve had the privilege of touring and leading worship with the men and women who are writing many of the songs we sing today… people like Chris Tomlin, Christy Nockels, and Passion Music.
But one of the things I enjoy the most is helping develop the next generation of worshippers. Maybe they’ll be writing anthems a stadium filled with believers will sing. Or lead their local church on Sunday. Or maybe they’ll just sit down at a piano and pour out their heart in an intimate moment with God. Wherever learning to play worship songs leads them, I really do consider it an honor to be a part of helping them grow.
After years of teaching piano, I realized several things:
We Believe There’s A Better Way
It doesn’t take hours of practice.
It’s a myth that students who aren’t “naturals” can’t learn to play piano without years of practice. Whether they’re musically gifted or not, your child will be playing along with their favorite worship and pop songs in weeks.
Lessons don’t have to be one more event on your calendar.
Learning online is the best method for beginners. Your child can play at their own pace, in their own home, without you having to drive them to and from practice every week.
You don’t have to go in debt.
Your child will learn everything they could with traditional one-on-one lessons, for a fraction of the cost.

“My husband Nathan and I had the honor of being a part of the earliest conversations around the beginnings of Rooted Music Coaching and cheering Chris Brink and the other coaches on! Chris has played in my own personal band through the years and we highly respect him both as a musician and a friend. We also experienced this amazing program as parents! Our son, Noah, took drum lessons from RMC and he excelled! He is now in the 10th grade and plays for his youth group worship team on a regular basis. I highly recommend this incredibly gifted team of coaches and this unique experience to any child who desires to explore the gift of music!”
