Approved Music
Under the direction of the Area Presidency a Music Committee is in place to ensure that
music played at Church dances meets the requirements outlined in the "For the
Strength of Youth" booklet.
The PDF documents below list the approved music sorted
by song title, artist or decade in which the music was recorded. The leader running the
dance should ensure that DJ's (or other assigned persons) should only play songs from
this list.
The list will be updated every two months and displayed on www.lds.org.au (the
Australian Church Website). Also available in PDF is a document that gives suggestions
and ideas for a successful dynamic dance.
The approved music list has been refined to bring it
in line with Church music guidelines, which is that for
Church activities and dances the beat of the music is
not to overshadow the melody. Many songs have been
removed from the approved list where it was felt that
the beat over shadowed the melody. These song titles can
be found in a PDF document on this web page. The list
may be refined further over the next few months.
There are many songs on the approved list where
either the artist listed or other artists have recorded
an up-beat or up-tempo version. These versions are to be
avoided as they would fall into the category of the
melody being over shadowed by the beat.
