Introducing Songs Of Worship - Classic Hymns (Volumes 1-4)

Posted on July 20, 2020

Since the dawn of COVID in early 2020, churches have had to re-envision what congregational worship looks like. For some it is smaller gatherings, for others it is online or at home. At PraiseCharts, we have also noticed a rising desire for the familiar songs and hymns of the past. We are excited to introduce a new collection of hymns in the Songs Of Worship series of song sheets. more

Introducing Hymn Sheets - Modern Worship Songs In Four-Part Harmony

Posted on July 16, 2020

Let's be honest, there are still a lot of people in our pews who appreciate the sound of four-part harmony -- and not just from the choir loft! We have experienced a major shift since the dawn of the overhead projector. That tool of the '80s and '90s was replaced by PowerPoint, ProPresenter, and a host of other programs designed to lift our eyes from hymnbooks toward lyrics projected above the stage.

Alongside PowerPoint and ProPresenter came a wave of new worship music that traded-in four-part harmony for catchy rhythms and smooth chord progressions. What we have gained on the stage with our refined worship bands, we have lost in the pews with our simplified melodies.

Here is the big question more

How To Match Your Vocal Range To Any Song With The Key Finder

Posted on March 28, 2020

Do you ever feel flustered, wondering what key you should sing a song in so that it matches your own personal vocal range? Every song has its own unique vocal range, and most of the time, the key of the original recording is not going to be a good fit for your own vocal range. You can see that at PraiseCharts, we create many custom key options for all the popular songs, but how do you know which key to choose? That is exactly why we built the Key Finder! It is free to use and incredibly practical. You can watch a full video demonstrating how it works by reading our blog, How To Use The New Key Finder ... more

Taking Chord Charts To The Next Level In 2020

Posted on December 28, 2019

If there is one thing I can't stand, it is a poorly written chord chart. Wrong lyrics, wrong chords, spelling mistakes, misplaced chords, unclear rhythms, missing lyrics... the list goes on. I am a self-proclaimed chord chart fanatic. To me, there is an art to representing a song on a page with chords and lyrics in a way that is clear and memorable. A few weeks ago, I decided I was going to methodically go through all of our top selling chord charts and edit them to perfection. Perfect spelling, perfect chords, perfect phrasing, perfect line-breaking, perfect timing, and a perfect match to our corresponding lead sheets. Why should you have to waste your time at band practice with a bad chord chart?  If you are interested, I'm going to take you on a back-stage tour of PraiseCharts -- to places that no one else has permission to access.  Then, I'll show you some hidden features on the front-end of PraiseCharts that will unlock your hidden chord chart superpowers. Get ready to take it to the next level in 2020.

Everything You Wanted To Know About PraiseCharts Audio Resources

Posted on July 11, 2018

Summer time can seem a little like the “off season” for our worship ministries. This can be a good opportunity to regroup for the future and think about where you want to lead your worship experiences as Fall approaches. Perhaps it’s time to make some adjustments in your worship ministry and try some new things. And let’s face it…our teams may be a little lighter with people gone on vacation and time away with family. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had the resources to mix in missing musicians utilizing some backing tracks with your live band? If you’ve been thinking about using backing tracks or multi tracks in your worship experiences, but haven’t made the jump, now is a great time to try something new. If you have never heard a click track or tried playing to pre-produced audio stems, this could be your moment to open that door. Or maybe you have been using click tracks for a while but want to go deeper and expand your capabilities with multi tracks.

Readings and Prayers for Thanksgiving, Advent and Christmas

Featuring Ryan Dahl Posted on October 31, 2017

We have taken some time to put together a collection of readings that you can use during your worship flow, specifically around the themes of Thanksgiving, Advent and Christmas.  Slow down, dial down the volume, and use these well chosen words and prayers to speak to people’s heart. I have found that when I am leading worship, I’m often looking for something to read that would give some depth, transition and flow. What can I, as the Worship Leader, say that would offer some depth, meaning, and direction? ... more
