Legal Creation and Use of Rehearsal Tracks and Accompaniment Tracks

A rehearsal track is a recording of a song that is distributed to worship team members for the purposes of rehearsing the song. An accompaniment track is a recording of a song that is intended to be played along with a band’s or singer’s performance. These tracks can be an original recording by an artist or a recording of a worship band performing the song themselves. Permission is required when making rehearsal or accompaniment tracks using copyrighted songs.

Be Careful How You Measure Success

by Rory Noland on Wed, 12/16/2009 - 8:08pm
By Rory Noland

You could sign a major record deal, make a lot of money, and be famous all over the world and still not be a success in God’s eyes. On the other hand, you may never know success as an artist and still be successful as a person. That’s because God looks inside. He’s not impressed with outward appearance; He looks at the heart (1 Sam. 16:7). So be careful how you measure success.

The Things That Kill Teamwork

by Rory Noland on Sun, 06/28/2009 - 9:34pm

by Rory Noland

In spite of how powerful and how meaningful team ministry can be, the task of getting a group of people to interact and perform as a team is a difficult one. Besides the fact that we artists have a propensity to shy away from teams and community, the Evil one does everything he can to disrupt teams. He’ll try to sow disunity; he’ll try to undermine morale; he’ll try to sabotage the cause; he’ll try to frustrate plans. Believe me, he’ll do everything he can to defeat any and every team that’s trying to advance the kingdom of God.
