Behind the Scenes: How We Learn a New Song in One Day
Hey guys! Tonight we have our most requested video! We explain how we learn a new song in one day. During the 2020 quarantine when we started, we were learning 4 or 5 songs a week but we modified the arrangements to their skill level at the time. The kids were done with homeschool and it was something fun that kept us sane during a very chaotic time. As the world started opening back up and the years went by we gradually decreased the new songs/videos to twice a week but with more difficult arrangements. The days that we film the songs start with a morning drive (and coffee) around a pretty neighborhood we all love. We listen to a playlist that we’ve all added songs to and come up with one that we all like for the day. Once we choose the song, we head back home. Cash and Beckett spend about 15 minutes on their own learning their parts. Colt and Cash will work together on guitar tones and getting the guitar sound perfect. Then Colt will work with Bellamy on her bass part. She can usually learn that in about 30 minutes. Next Colt will play with Beckett, working on the breaks and fills. The order that he works with them can be subject to change based on whether we have homeschool that day. Lastly we run the song all together around 3 or 4 times and film it right after. We hope you enjoy this little behind the scenes video of our process. Also, if you’re local to the Tampa Bay area, we’d love to see you at our show at Hutchinson Auditorium on Florida College’s campus on 9/20 at 7pm. I’ll leave the link below. Hope to see you there!

Hello everyone! We're the Clark family. Colt (the dad) is a professional musician and Aubree (me, the mom behind the camera) is a photographer. Together we home school our three children. To keep busy during the shutdown we started learning and recording a new song every other day to share with our friends and family. We love playing music and spending time together as a family. Hopefully these songs brighten your day!
