Practice Library
RockNfun Music's online library contains a wealth of resources designed to inspire our students. Regular use of the library will definitely increase joy and success in learning your instrument.
Our library has several fun, excellent music learning software games that teach: note reading, chords, ear training, and music theory. It also includes supplemental pre-recorded lessons. Most method books are also included.
RockNfun believes that enjoying lessons is all about inspiration. That inspiration comes from enjoying the songs that you are playing as well as the process of learning basic music skills such as note reading, music theory, and more.
We hope RockNfun Music's online library will save you time and money. None of our students have the time to run to the music store. It's also expensive to do that. Our students pay a small monthly fee of $15 for access to the library's vocal lyrics, guitar tabs, guitar chords, classic rock/Broadway/country/jazz/blues/ pop songs, Christmas songs, and classical repertoire pieces. The library also includes method books you will need for your lessons. Don't see something you want or need? Email diane@rocknfunmusic.com. She'll post it online within 24 weekday hours.
Our library is updated weekly with new printable piano sheet music, piano chords, lyrics, guitar tabs/guitar chords, and Guitar Hero transcriptions from our Director. Need music assigned to you from your teacher for winds, strings, drums/percussion? Email diane@rocknfunmusic.com.
10 RockNfun Practice Tips
- Ask your teacher to play songs you enjoy. Our online library is always adding new song/pieces of music. Don't see a song you like? Email: your request to diane@rocknfunmusic.com.
- Keep a notebook for your teacher to write down what he/she would like you to work on.
- Keep a list of songs you would like you or your child to learn. Ask diane@rocknfunmusic.com for song suggestions. She'll post the music on the library site.
- Listen to the songs you want to learn. It's very inspiring when your playing starts to sound like the song!!! Listening to the song provides you with feedback on your progress. (Free songs are on www.youtube.com. You can't download them, but you can listen to them for free).
- Use the learning games from the online practice library often. Students succeed at mastering and enjoying the basics of music using the available software.
- Focus on mastering a little piece of your song or exercise at a time.
- Remember that a teacher can show you how to play, but improvement comes from regular practice.
- Set a regular time to practice every day. Younger children should start slower: 3-5 times per week.
- Break your practice time into a few smaller sessions-it's easier to focus during shorter time periods. For example, three ten-minute sessions is often better than one 30-minute session for the beginning student.
- Play the song or exercise slowly at first then speed it up when you have it exactly right.
