This original rock-style power ballad is a musical journey for young people of all ages! Finding My Way begins with a lyrical statement, tentative at first, which gradually grows in confidence. The ballad finds its way in the second theme, building into a bold and affirmative musical statement that drives to a joyous conclusion. Lyrical melodies accompanied by gentle rock rhythms are laid over percussion parts that combine to give the presence of a full drum set backing up the band in this fun piece. Find YOUR way, and rock on!
