Choir Practice

My name is Yew-Weng, Fong. I am serving as a deacon in Jalan Tiga Gospel Hall, a Chinese speaking small church in Malaysia of about 80 people (including visitors), and the majority are not able to read music manuscripts. As with many other churches, this poses a problem when coming to choir practicing. People are reluctant to join the choir as they find difficulty in coping up. The tape recording method was used all this while, but as technology advances tape recorders are facing out as well.

Recently, one brother came up with a brilliant idea. He recorded the songs into 4 different part (SATB) through his midi device (or whatever you called it), into disk and ask the choir members to listen at home in their convenience so as to get familiar with their own parts. The problem is they have to play it in a computer. This creates another problem. There are some who do not know how to operate the computer, especially the more senior folks. Secondly, even those who are familiar with a computer have to "stick" around the computer all the time to “practice at their convenience”. This is not practical.

In our discussion on resolving this obstacle, someone noted that there is a tool that can convert midi file format to Mp3 format, and suggested we try the method since mp3 players are becoming popular nowadays. I thank the Lord, I happen to bump into your website which provided us an opportunity to try out. After trying the Direct MIDI to MP3 Converter I find it easy to use, though it took me some time to get it right and to learn the basics and I am sure there will be much to learn from your midi program, it has met our immediate need. Last night I brought the music, (now converted from midi to mp3 format) to our choir practice and all are very happy with it, and the choir leader have this to said after our practicing, “Now, there is no excuse for not joining the choir!”

Not only that, the converted accompanying music can help in other ministries as well, like cell-group and home meetings where singing is require but no piano, musical instruments or musician available. Wonderful indeed.

I really appreciate your kind and gracious generosity for sharing this service. May the Lord bless you abundantly with His goodness.

Thank you so much.

In His Service, YW Fong
