Vertical Music – review

Fed up trying to find good quality free worship songs… that are legal? Hopefully this website will go some way to satisfying you.

Quality music with a little extra thrown in for free!

You may have noticed that a few of the recent recommended free songs have come from this website. Vertical Music is primarily a music store, but on some albums they offer a free mp3 song that you can download. What is so great about this site is the high standard of the songs that are free – they are almost all superb worship songs. Some of the artists included are Hillsongs and the New Life Church.

Also, for all the albums (that I looked at) you can download a pdf of the words and sheet music/chords. This is even for those songs that are not free. Rather than cluttering up this review with a full list, I will be adding a stand alone page for this in the future.

How do I get the free songs then?

1. Sign up to the website
2. You will notice a ‘featured free song’ box at the top, so you could start by looking at that
3. The rest are slightly less obvious, basically though any songs in mp3 format are the ones they are offering for free. So you just need to find those songs…
4. Thankfully they have mp3 in the name so simply go to the search box and look for “mp3″
5. And there you go! A list of all of the current free songs you can get! Just go to the individual pages to get the mp3 songs (you may need to right click and “save link as”)

You can also sign up to an email list to be notified of any future free ones, or you can just check out the free songs category of this blog and I will post it there.

What else is there?

A really nice touch on this site is that there are some additional articles written by worship leaders on the site. These are not all articles just for people in worship bands though. It covers topics such as:

• Bible Resources
• Personal Growth
• Local Ministry
• Global Vision
• Practical Training(practical worship help)
• Vertical Vision (about worship music, including AW Tozer’s ‘The Art of True Worship’)

You can get to these articles by going to the ‘Resources’ section of the website.
