This is my project for my independent study class! This independent study basis and outline was created by myself. My teacher helped me when it came to cleaning ideas, giving pointers, and approving topics. ​

My idea for the class was to basically do research on different types of music genres. I'd spend a certain amount of time on one genre, then move onto the next, and the cycle would continue. ​

My final for the class is this presentation, all the research documents I've created in the past months, and some short original songs I created in each different genre and style.

Lyrics:
You Need Help (Rock Song):
I got another thing to tell you
They’re getting sick of everything you do
Yeah you need some help
You’re doing nothing sitting by
I’m getting sick calling your lies
So you should try to change yourself

Favorite Person (Pop Song):
I’ll just focus on you honey
Cuz loving you is all I know
I’m not searching here for money
Just someone who can touch my soul
You know that we could be together
If we took that fighting chance
And no matter what the weather
I know you’ll keep me in a trance

No One (Jazz Song):
Some people want to love someone
But I want no one
I had you once and that was enough
I don’t want anyone else now you’re gone

Monsters (Hip-Hop Song):
(Yuh, uh)
Hear the monster creeping under my bed (Ey)
Gotta tell myself it’s all just in my head (Uh)
Shhhhh
They gonna break your soul
They gonna eat you whole
I’m sure you’d never know
You’re not invincible
Taking my goal, they’re on a roll I no longer wanna be told everyone here is flexing but I’m trying make it all out on my own, breaking the floors creepin up more I can’t believe I’m not dead from this sore ey from this sore ey

I Wanna Move On (Country Song):
Carry on
Hurt is gone
Find a home
Where you can grow
Momma made me I just wanna move on
Love is gone
Turned out wrong
Wanted flight
Crashed in this song
Momma made me
I just wanna move on

You Broke Me (Blues Song):
Sometimes I can’t see you
Even if you’re standing right there
They told me these things that broke my heart
And I’d never, I’d never, find you again

I'm Too Loud (Musical Theatre Song):
Started with a perfect picture made out a gold
Ended with a fighting chapter it’s getting kinda old
I can’t, I can’t make up my mind
And I can’t restart
Cuz my heart
Beats for you
Trying to find the answers I don’t know how
Singing so soft but it feels way too loud
I’m too loud
I’m too
