THE MUSIC WITH ME

Valentina Kostyaeva, TV journalist for life, singer by vocation:

Was handed an exceptional tool - the rod of the media.I became a TV reporter with a wonderful mission: to glorify my muse. My voice is "... a coloratura soprano of a silvery shade," was written about me after the reporting concert of students of the music school in the article "Turkmen spark" - the central newspaper of Turkmenistan at that time.

"Voice - soprano, surprisingly beautiful timbre, great culture, musicality. Teaches the work quickly and competently. The range is full ..." - so it is written in the "Characteristics", which I was given at the end of the music school ...
My voice is well preserved, it is still beautiful, the timbre, the coloring is still fresh today ... And I want to sing ... And I continue to sing, responding with pleasure to the proposals to speak to the public ..

The sun paints the earth, and man paints the work. My profession is not the most ordinary and remarkable in her a lot. But after all, this is probably the secret of true vocation, in order to transform the work of a lifetime into creativity, which with interest will endow you with romance, recognition and respect. This is not a rant and my life, to some extent, evidence of this.
As a child, I did not know and did not think that I would ever be a journalist. I always loved to sing, dance, and I was told to be a singer to me ... I did not become a professional singer. But music accompanies me all the years ..

January 12, 1942 one of the strongest and most talented women of our Turkmenistan was born - Kostyaeva Valentina Ivanovna.
It is with this amazing, beautiful and talented woman that I want to introduce anyone who is unfamiliar with her. Well, it may be familiar, but not as deep as a few of us. Yes, I brag to you dear readers.

Once upon a time, at a very long time, at that time, my visual perception of this beautiful, kind and pure world. I loved to watch TV, both Russian and our Turkmen channels, and I really liked the voices of our announcers, one of which was she Kostyaeva Valentina. Many years have passed since then, and now I am already blind, but life always presents me with amazing surprises.

In early January 2014, we introduced to Valentina Ivanovna in the house of a carpet-weaver and innovator of Shatgeldy Bozaganov.
Hearing her voice in a dialogue with the artist, I was wary and could not believe his native ears, It dawned on me: Yes, it is the speaker from the TV, a woman with a velvety voice. What a meeting! The artist is a great carpet master, a famous announcer!.. I felt a little uncomfortable. And here I'm blind...but, to my relief, next to us was another journalist Bayborodina Dina, here she is it stopped my confusion.

We communicate with Valentina Ivanovna and now it is very warm, I have such moments when I can call her calmly and just talk to her, well, sometimes even ask for advice in some cases. And she is always glad to communicate with me, and she does not hesitate and is not afraid of my blindness. In our BDST (Societies of the blind and deaf of Turkmenistan) Valentina Ivanovna performed together with other artists with beautiful songs many times, and they sang live for people with hearing impairment, and for people with visual impairment.
She has a really wonderful voice, and plus she is a talented actress, and starred in the movie "Menin Serdarym" in early 2000. The director of this movie is Orazdurdyyev Nurgeldy.

Acquaintance with Valentina Ivanovna taught me to be more attentive to the people around me and my relatives, don't to close, and not to dwell on attention and communication, especially with those people who are much higher than me in their achievements and more experienced in anything. I try to be more open to many people.
