Songs are usually intended to praise God, and they are traditionally the gifts that the Christians are given to praise God. More so, songs are usually the most important element in every spiritual program since it acts as an avenue to communicate with the Supreme Being. However, there are slight differences in the way people do their singing. The Adventist music Seattle has some principles that are followed by the congregation and the church takes this form of melodies to be compatible with the principles of the church.

Other forms of classical like jazz, rock, pop songs and any other related melodies are usually not considered to be compatible with the principles of a church. The church songs are thus considered to be the eternal and primary activity of mankind to praise God. Therefore, there should be careful planning in every classical element to make sure that the congregation participates.

Melodies used when the song service is in progress should only be directed in praising God. Therefore, they should be singable, strong and be poetic. More so, the minister of the church is required must be keen during singing to make sure that the singers are singing quality anthems that are in line with the church principles.

If there is a choir, there must be a master composer who composes meaningful anthems which will be sung by the musicians that are well prepared and dedicated. There should also be instrumental classical such as a piano to harmonize with the choir during singing, and they must be handled by a player who is able and well trained.

During the singing session, it is upon the instrumentalist to make sure that the piano harmonizes with the melodies of a congregation. If there are vocal solos as well as special songs, the singers have to see to it that the context of a song follows the general principles and sing to praise God not to show off his/her prowess in singing.

In the evangelism of young people or youth, the melodies must also follow the set principles at all times. The reason behind this is that youths usually like to select songs that showcase the youth culture. They thus use idiomatic features that tend to bring rhythmical problems with the songs. Therefore, they end up differing with church principles in singing.

There are so many traditional folk songs that are legitimate and respected thus some of them are acceptable in the Adventist melodies. However, any folk song is supposed to be judged just like the other songs thus it has to follow the general principles laid on the other themes. Any distortion of a human voice is not allowed. Thus it should be avoided.

More so, the harmonic treatment should not be so saturated as it will act as the distraction from the true quality and spirituality of the anthem. When singing, the performers should not have a visual presentation that is excessive and inappropriate. More so, they must be appropriately dressed while singing. Additionally, there should not be excessive instrumental as well as vocal amplification by the instrumentalist.
