Keep Getting Better

The Mission Statement for Heartfelt Music Ministry is to lead others toward intimacy with God and toward excellence in artistry. Wherever I go, I share stories from my own life experiences to build faith in Christ and pass on significant lessons I’ve learned from life. I also want to train and coach others to be their best in serving the Lord through music. It’s been so fun to see students go from beginning to advanced in their music skill. One thing in common is that they want to keep getting better. Hearing of students progress brings a lot of joy, but seeing their motivation to use their talents to glorify God is so fulfilling! Here’s a letter I came across from Tyler Woodall, one of my guitar students who graduated from Valley Christian School a couple of years ago.

“Dear Mr. Coates, I’ve taken your class all four years of high school and it’s honestly been my favorite class and something I look forward to during the week. I’m so thankful for your teaching getting me to where I am today as a guitar player! I started as a freshman having never picked up a guitar before. But being able to learn simple songs in the class gave me a desire to want to keep getting better. All the exercises, techniques, and songs I’ve learned in your class have been so helpful in my development. But beyond the guitar, I really appreciate the life lessons you’ve incorporated and the positive energy you have every class. Thank you for the impact you’ve had on me and helping me to find one of my passions.”

My schedule has changed for this weekend and I will not be doing an online Home Concert this Sunday. I’m looking forward to doing an online concert in December.

On behalf of the Heartfelt Music Board, we want to thank you so much for your prayers and support. You really help us steadily care for and equip all the lives we touch!
