Practice songs for gospel beginners
I’ve put together a selection of songs that are suitable for practice for those new to gospel.
Gospel is a form of religious music that originated in the United States within Protestant Christianity, and the word also means “good news.”
The distinctive vocal style heard in church singing is something many singers admire and try to emulate.
