Hi All,For those of you who place instrumental solos in your worship music, may I request to know: 1.) How your worship team actually do it?  Would you try to be specific? 2.) Why do you do have…Continue

About Me:
I've got a heart for leading people to God's throne, and one of the ways I attempt to do this is through musical worship, which is what I'm engaged in on a volunteer basis. For years I've "ministered" outside of the local churches, in all sorts of "venues", and almost always for evangelistic purposes. Nevertheless, I play ony Praise & Worship music so as to do this.

I am also the Administrator of a Christian Praise & Worship Song-Sharing Ministry called "Worship of Heaven" (http://WorshipOfHeaven.com) which provides a great way for Praise & Worship songs to be shared throughout the body of Christ.

Yes, it is amazing. Before I found out about it Ithought I will have to take singing lessons which I cannot afford, so we just began to pray for someone who could sing better to lead worship. then I went to my favorite local music store and the salesman recomended it so he said we could take it and try it, good to have good report at stores, anyway we tried it and the first thing I said was wow, it turned me from an offkey barely singer to sounding almost profesional. The wonders of electronics, and even moreso the wonders of an awesome God who knows our needs!!!!!

I added the info in the thread it was brought up in.

But here it is again for others to see also.

TC Helicon Voice Tone Correct XT

It works great and I use it all the time.

My Wife sings with me but she does not lead so I needed something to help me correct my tone, If I was background singing it wouldn't be a problem because I can blend in once I here the right tone but for leading this really helps me to start in the right tone.

Hi David,

I enjoyed your comment on the link about opening songs.  I too spend a great deal of time figuring out the music for the worship and looking at whether they are a good spiritual fit as well as a good musical fit.  It takes a lot of time and I don't think people realize how much effort goes into putting a set together.

Thanks for sharing that.  It is nice to know there are others out there.

Blessings,

Jeanne

Yes, it is the CEV version. I just like the way that it read.  Matt 5:3-4.

Yes, I am having some difficultly finding musicians etc.   Give me a email later...
