About the Brocks
The Brock Family, including their 4 sons (Joseph, Stephen, John & Samuel: ages 19 to 27), are a family of musicians. The Brocks began their musical prayer journey as a family in 2004 when they left their jobs and home to become musicianaries. The Brock family frequently tour over seas, training in worship & music at HOPs in Turkey, Israel, Greece, Europe, Malta & Cyprus. They also give family concerts while teaching music in both secular & sacred settings.
Tim & Melody started a music school in Kansas City in 2005, using the Suzuki method to teach violin and flute, they also trained teens and children to improvise as a form of prayer. In 2009 they moved to the Charlotte NC area (MorningStar Ministries), where they helped pioneer a new Suzuki Music Co-op in Fort Mill SC after directing their 1st Suzuki & Worship Music Camp (SWMC) in the summer of 2015. They currently reside in KC where they teach on-line and direct a Suzuki School of Music & Worship, training children & youth guitar, piano & violin while helping to facilitate a soaking prayer community of artisans & musicians.
