My sis­ter and I are col­lab­o­rat­ing on a solo album for the hymn col­lec­tion “Sing a New Song,” which will be avail­able on Sound­Cloud, Purev­ol­ume, and sev­eral other music-hosting web­sites. This would have been in the works sooner, had I real­ized its poten­tial ben­e­fits for local congregations.

Have you ever sung a new or unfa­mil­iar hymn and had trou­ble focus­ing on the words because you didn’t rec­og­nize the tune? If we are to “sing with under­stand­ing” in accor­dance with 1 Corinthi­ans 14:15, we need to over­come any­thing that hin­ders this activ­ity — even if it means practicing. With these vocal tracks, you will be able to grow acquainted with the tunes prior to wor­ship, and can use them as an aid for memorization!

The album will ini­tially con­sist of solo piano/voice tracks, but may be updated over time. These tracks will be avail­able for free stream­ing, though down­loads will cost $.99 each ($9.99 for the entire album).

I will post updates and sam­ples over the next few weeks.
