Sing Hymns Accompaniment Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use these recordings for a congregation in a church service?
A: Absolutely! These recordings are specifically designed for that purpose. Each song begins with a last-line type of introduction and then plays through all the verses. The audio music features piano and/or organ accompaniment played by a church pianist and/or organist, allowing you to sing hymns in church as if you had someone playing for you. Please note that there are no voices on the recordings.
Q: How many verses does each hymn have?
A: The number of verses varies, but most hymns have four verses. You can find the titles, keys, and number of verses for each hymn in the product descriptions on this web site.
Q: What about licensing and streaming?
A: You are allowed and encouraged to use our recordings, including for online streaming. Churches are exempt from CCLI requirements for our hymn recordings since they are used as accompaniment for services. However, please keep in mind that the licensing and streaming landscape can be complex and subject to change. Currently, you are free to use all our hymn recordings for streaming purposes, and you do not need a CCLI license for our hymns.
Q: Should I choose high or low keys?
A: The choice of key depends on the general overall voice range of your congregation. High keys are most common in hymnals for congregational singing but may be challenging for seniors. Low keys can be more comfortable for them. However, if you order the wrong range, simply let us know, and we will replace it with the correct range at no additional cost.
Q: Can I listen to audio samples before buying?
A: Yes! Each item description on our website includes the titles, keys, number of verses, and play buttons. 
Simply click the play buttons to listen to audio samples. Make sure your sound is turned on.
Q: Are these hymns compatible with our hymnal?
A: We believe so, although we have not personally checked every published hymnal. Our hymns are not taken from a specific hymnal but are the same songs with arrangements in keys found in most hymnals, including Baptist, Celebration, and many others. While there may be some minor differences, your church should be able to sing with your hymnal using our accompaniment. If it doesn't work out as you hoped, you can return your order within 30 days for a full refund without any hassle.
Q: Can I download the MP3 files directly to my iPad/iPhone?
A: Our download files are in .zip format, which is a Windows PC compressed file. Apple devices do not recognize .zip files, so you will need to use an app such as iZip or Goodreader to open/extract them. These apps are available for free download from the Apple store. Once you have the app, you can download and extract the MP3 files to access them on your iPad/iPhone.
Q: If I choose the thumb drive option, would it work in my Yamaha Clavinova?
A: Some Clavinova models support USB MP3 playback. This means that it is capable of playing the audio through its speakers or its Aux output. Models that do not have this feature are the CLP-400 series, CLP-500 series and CLP-600 series. Here are some of the models that can do it:
CLP-725, CLP-735, CLP-775, CLP-785, CLP-765GP, CLP-795GP
CLP-255, CLP-275, CSP-295, CSP-295GP
