The main impetus for the development of creativity for the granddaughter was the grandmother. Nadezhda Emelyanovna spent a lot of time with Alena. She sang her folk songs, funny ditties. Granddaughter with pleasure repeated the motives behind her. The song element so fascinated Petrovsky that she decided to become a singer.
