Pis j'écris pas juste en français par affectation.

By extension, dancing.<BR/><BR/>So much history, geography and culture are transmitted via music.<BR/><BR/>Trained musicians, no matter their birth language, speak the same language around the world. Even non-formally trained musicians can very quickly learn new modes when they are interested in doing so. This is a difference between a war horse symphony orchestra musician and a top of the ratings world music cat -- the latter is interested in many forms that aren't what he grew up with. Classical players, by and large, are interested only in European historic 'art' music.<BR/><BR/>Music is also a means for learning a new language faster than depending only upon the classroom. Even a little more language knowledge opens doors you never saw before.<BR/><BR/>Well, that's one idea. It means getting away from the computer a lot, though, which for communities so centered in reading, writing and watching may not be reasonable to expect?<BR/><BR/>Love, C.Foxessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754083123669916994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360814020056871156.post-77631866899046349252009-03-07T05:50:00.000-08:002009-03-07T05:50:00.000-08:00N'oublie pas la communauté anglophone avoisinante ...N'oublie pas la communauté anglophone avoisinante (et souvent bilingue) qui se trouve au Canada.Ide Cyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609884814595996474noreply@blogger.com
