THE MAGIC OF MUSIC

I Emily Johnson lives in Nashville, a city in the United States. She is a street musician. Her job is to play music on the streets for people passing by. One day, she found an old guitar in a second-hand store. She decided to buy it and started to learn how to play. Whenever she had free time, she practiced on her new guitar.

II Emily lives in a busy neighborhood. Many of her neighbors enjoy listening to music but cannot afford to attend concerts. As Emily's guitar skills improved, people began to ask if she could play at their parties and events. Emily was always happy to share her music with others.

III Today, Emily performs at various community events. She also teaches music to children in her neighborhood. A few years ago, Emily started a free music school in her garage. Her friends and neighbors help her run the school. They also donate instruments and money to support the school. The name of the school is "Harmony for All."
