Childhood and youth of Nadezhda Krygina
The artist's date of birth is September 8, 1961. She was born in the small village of Petrishchevo. Almost nothing is known about Nadezhda's parents. Only one thing is clear - they did not belong to people of creative professions.
To feed the children, the parents kept a large farm. Little Nadia helped her father and mother take care of farm animals. At home, the Krygin family was very comfortable: icons and handmade decorations hung.
There was no school in the small village. Children had to cover more than 10 kilometers daily to gain basic knowledge. Parents had no choice but to send their daughter to a boarding school. Nadezhda lived in an educational institution for 5 days, and spent the weekend at home.
Nadezhda began to sing in her native village, whose inhabitants were famous for their chic voices. The locals sang Russian folk songs, ditties and ballads. Krygina - inherited her voice from her mother.
Her talent was soon found out in the boarding school. Since that time, not a single creative event has taken place without a performance by a talented girl. Even then, she told her parents about her dream to master a creative profession. Hope dreamed of becoming an actress.
Krygina's admission to an educational institution
After receiving a matriculation certificate, the brave Kursk girl went to the capital of the Russian Federation. She decided to become a singer, and she was not embarrassed by the fact that she did not even know elementary musical notation. Moscow was not so hospitable. In "Gnesinka" the singer was refused. The admissions committee advised her to come in a couple of years.
Then she decided to try her luck at the school of M. M. Ippolitov-Ivanov. She had no idea what musical notation was, but she perfectly remembered the words of the Gnesinka teachers about “F major”. She wrote down this phrase on a piece of paper, but lost the note during the audition. At the audition, she could only remember the words "Fi Major". The selection committee collapsed with laughter. The teachers promised Nadia that they would enroll her in an educational institution, but only in a year.
