My 6 year old daughter had her first piano concert, played 4-hands with my husband who also made his pianist debut. It was very cute, as my son (3) ran to them during rehearsal and insisted that it was “his turn”. Maybe next year…

My husband and I (he is French) have contemplated on Lycee Francaise in NYC, but kind of torn about it because of the expense.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Wow, how wonderful to see your daughter play the piano with her dad.

My daughter has asked to learn but at this stage, I’m proceeding slowly. I think I might start by teaching her the basic fingering with the help of books, as and when she want to learn rather than sending her for lessons. I don’t know what it is, but for most 5.5 year old, the minute they have to GO for classes, they develop and resistance to it. One of my friends had a child’s guitar that her son would pick up and strum and play, for more than a year. But within 2 weeks of starting classes, he didn’t want to go anymore and hasn’t touch the guitar since.

________________

Lycee Francais is an excellent choice of school for the Jolie Pitts. Not only was Cambodia but Vietnam too, were once French colonies. And you can go to a lycee in many major cities in the world.

Anyway, I’m all for children, anyone learning a second language. According to studies, the long term benefit of knowing a 2nd language stretches beyond the obvious access to a different culture and society. It apparently improves the brain development of the child, all round.

In addition, they have found that older people who speak a 2nd language with some fluency, are less prone to Alzheimers and other conditions of this nature.
Every member in my family and my husband’s family are bilingual or tri lingual or more (if you count dialects). There is no Alzheimers yet amongst the older generation in both our families. I’m very hopeful it stays that way.

I can sympathise with your thinking twice about sending your children to an lycee though. I’m sending my daughter to an international school and it will cost me an arm, leg and the shirt of my back.

Which is why we can’t afford to go out and I spend my time on the internet, voting for Brad and Angelina in all the polls, heheheheheheh

why are angie and gwen sefani still showing as 29%? am i doing something wrong?

Boring does not mean Jennifer is not a good mother.

Angie is my girl, but I like Jen Garner too.

Well I guess Prague is out as a place Brad, Angelina and the kids can go and just hang out. Back to New Orleans. Wishing all the best to the Jolie Pitts.

**************
Now, why would they want to go back to Norleans?!

Jen Garner is very interactive with her child so I would not take offense if she won. It is easier for her to be more visible with Violet than it is for Angelina to be with her kids because the media hounds Angelina and not Jen Garner so much.

lylian,

Thanks for your note!

Re: music lessons
I’m a professional musician, so I was actually torn even more whether to subject my kids to what I went through. I started piano at 3 and violin at 5. So when my daughter turned 5 I took her to a group lesson called Dalcroze; it’s a specialized musical education developped in Europe for kids that I heard a lot about and thought it might be good for my daughter. I don’t know if you saw my eariler posts (year ago or so…) but my daughter was diagnosed with PDD, a spectrum of disorder which includes Asperger and Autism. She goes to an integrated special ed kindergarten which has been WONDERFUL and she is progressing beautifully. One of the upside (or downside) is her communication skill, which she is working on it now. So back to Dalcroze–the teachers are quite a believers, almost like a kind of ’sect’. They firmly believe this is the right method and devoted. My daughter being herself, who is blatantly honest to a fault, just didn’t mesh with the teacher. One day (actually the last day eligible for a full-refund) everyone was sitting in a circle and pointing to their nose saying their names in rhythm. My daughter said loudly: “MOMMY, This is SILLY!!”. Red-faced, I decided to pull her out of the class

Anyway now she studies privately with a piano teacher who is an old friend of mine from highschool conservatory. It’s amazing several of us ended up in NYC and she and I have been developing a special way–more visual way– to teach my daughter who is flourishing. I think all kids have their own speed and way to learn, and us parents just have to find what that is….

Re: Lycee, Intl. school etc

Well, it’s not just the actual cost that we are concerned. Although my kids have FOUR nationalities, it is likely they will live in the USA, then what does it mean to be culturally French in NYC? Or will they live in France… My husband believe in firm elementary education in France and he is extremely worried about that in the USA. He however believes that USA is the best for university education (he came here for PhD). He reads to my kids in French, and after some resistance (”daddy, SPEAK ENGLISH!”) they usually switch after 5 minutes. We go to France every summer, and last summer we put the kids for 22 days of full immersion at grandparents’ without me. They were fluent by the time we left, but now it’s gone again. We have to keep doing it. I’m so glad your daughter is in international school—I definitely think language skill is such a resource that you and Jolie-Pitts are doing such a great job. My son is September-born that means he doesn’t go to Kindergarten next fall–I’m still confused about this P.S. vs private school, age-month thing… I’ll keep you posted

I GOT YOUR MAN AND THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT-LOVE IT #187

I wonder if they will add the rest of the phone interview? Hopefully they will before the end of the month…around premiere time…MAYBE?
