Unit 4 - Street musicians.

Good afternoon!

This is the text we read in class today. I want you to read it again and find the new words. I also put the questions and answers in the end, so you can correct them.

Street musicians

How do you usually listen to music?. Probably you use Youtube or Spotify, in your computer or mobile phone. Did you know that you can listen to live music on the street?. It's a very interesting thing. Read on if you like music!.

On the streets of big cities or around underground stations you can find musicians. Many of them compose their own music and play it every day for the thousands of people that pass every day. They probably play for more people than famous singers!.

Street musicians are very varied. You can find a single person singing and playing guitar, rock bands, classical musicians and folk bands. All around the same place. It's a lot more than what you get when you go to a concert.

Also, you should know that street musicians must be talented to succeed but they also have to find a good spot!. A famous violin player tried playing in a metro hallway and failed. People were always passing by but they were in a hurry and didn't pay attention!.

When you see videos of your favourite artists you may think all musicians are rich, but that isn't true. Street musicians won't charge you for listening to their music. You can always leave some money in their instrument cases. They will be very thankful!.
