George Brassens, a classic French singer!

Description

We will listen to his at times romantic, at times hilarious songs and study their meaning. The knowledge of French is not required, but the love of the French chanson style is. Handouts with the French text and its English translation will be provided. We will also sing.

Participants will want to listen to more Brassens chansons after this session. I will prepare a lesson plan for one song in case some French teachers would be among the participants. Refreshments will be served.

Teaching French is a passion and a hobby. But, my world would not be complete without my family, my friends, my garden, literature, music, knitting, movies and exercise!!!

Still trying to speak French the language I love. Singing is easier and I love the group. Welcome back, Bonnie

Suzanne Murray spent 32 years working at the Earle. It was there that her interest in all things culinarily Italian and French were nurtured. A year in Paris solidified her leanings. Twenty years of teaching high school opened the door to Spanish and she now dwells on the three languages and is obsessed with etymologies. To keep her hands busy, she and her partner bake and sell baguettes, brioche and madeleines.
