Me and my group challenged ourselves to pick a song we haven't played before or know it.
My goal:
My Goal is to try and be on time with others, and to get excellence
1. Your song choice
My group chose the song called 'Breakaway' by Kelly Clarkson, because we've never heard of it and we decided to challenge ourselves by learning a song we've never played before 0r sang before.
2. Who are you working with and what are each person doing?
Manuwa & Tyrepa
Manuwa has the skill to sing, so she's singing.
Tyrepa is playing guitar because the song sounds real nice with a guitar
My instrument:
My group wants me to play the drums because the song we decided to all play has a lot of drumming.
Drums maybe the oldest instrument of man kind, back to the time where people learned to keep rhythm, and was bought into the word as far back as 6000 BC.
Drums have been found in China which goes back to ancient times. Originally they were made in ancient Turkey or China, but were also used in Israel and Egypt.
3.What is the song about (research it ) and find out the original composer:
Originally it was written by Avril Lavigne which she worked on with professional songwriters Matthew Gerard and B. Beneate. It was meant to be for Lavigne's second album 'Under my skin' but she didn't think it would fit the album so she let Clarkson record it as a single. The song was so good that at the last minute, Clarkson's second album was renames 'Breakaway'.
The song is about breaking away from an old life and trying new things. Some may even know it as a song about growing up, and that could be true in a way, but it is mostly about forgetting about your past and moving on by starting a fresh new start, becoming a new person. The theme came in thought from Clarkson, who could relate to the lyrics.
