La música de Miguel

Description
This sixth season of Simple Stories in Spanish is inspired by requests from my listeners. Today’s story comes from a request for a story about musical instruments. Perhaps you will remember “La mentira de Miguel” (season 1, episode 11). Miguel wanted to go to a rock concert with his friend Wes, but, due to his lying, ended up going to a classical music concert with his mom and sister. Little did he know how much that concert would change his life. He thought rock music was the only sound worth listening to, but after hearing violins, flutes, trumpets, and tubas, he has a new appreciation for instruments. This story is told in the present tense. Repeated words and phrases include “mentira” (lie), “chido” (cool), “ensayar” (to rehearse/practice), “labios” (lips), and “sopla” (blow). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. You can find a transcript of the story and read along at https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2022/01/23/simple-stories-in-spanish-la-musica-de-miguel/  ¡Muchas gracias por escuchar!
