    Happy New Year

    Happy New Year!!! I agree Yervant, thank you and Mosjan and the select few to keep the forum alive! And Facebook is not that bad, especially for young professionals to help with networking. I'm glad that I'm able to stay in touch with my graduate school classmates and we can help each other professionally.
  2. A bit unrelated, but I'm posting from my phone! This mobile version is so user friendly
  3. Yes Mosjan, I was also upset when I heard that comment. I turned to my husband and remarked that it seems those conmentators always have to misrepresent the Armenians somehow. I wonder how much of it is pure ignorance or even a bit of contempt. I also saw it live yesterday. It's been years since I've awoken that early on New Year's Day. Having a toddler changes everything!
  4. How heartbreaking and devastating. My tears just kept rolling and rolling down my face. I'm so so sorry for Fatma and Azad and countless other people in their position. What an unfair world we live in.
  5. Chgitem javan inch e (Chnayats tsanot e hnchum.) Yeghbayrs inchvor mi ban download arets u arajm tsuyts e talis. It turns out Adobe Flash is not supported on newer versions of Android devices. So Armenian TV should update to HTML5 (I think that's what my brother said) and it'll play on new Android devices. Who's in charge of Armenian TV website? I wonder if anyone could be reached and inquired whether they'll do the change.
  6. Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows how to stream live Armenian TV on Samsung Pro Tablet 12.2. We got my dad Samsung Pro Tab as a gift, but it seems he can't watch live Armenian TV on it. I even downloaded the Armenian TV app but it's not opening on the device. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  7. How encouraging to read posts like these!!! :)
  8. Thanks for the video!
  9. Wow, so many people! It takes some great organization for sure. Are Armenians capable of following directions for a common cause? Maybe.
  10. Yep, that's how they start off. But of all my students who have been with me only a set of siblings do gymnastics and karate in addition to piano for the past 6 years. Most everyone else studies the piano and some kind of sport. I think that's a good balance. Those who do too many additional activities/studies cannot focus on anything and play only at mediocre level at best. And of course, having met you I know that you are an excellent mom and your daughters are lucky to have you as their mom! Wow, isn't that truly remarkable?!
  11. Yes, keep praising her! But make sure you don't overdo it (which I'm sure you won't). It's important to praise the effort, rather than the talent. Some parents will say "yes, you play like a star!". Or "you're so talented!". The children are no fools. Even the youngest ones will know that it's not true. (In some cases some actual gifted and talented children who know that they are talented will lose motivation to practice if they are praised for their talents. This happened to an acquaintance of ours.) So just praise her for her effort. And let's face it, learning to play the piano is not an actual walk in the park. Some of my students' parents actually tell me "I want her to have fun!". Well, it's not exactly like playing house By the way, I had an eye-opening experience as a teacher this year. For the past 9 years I have been teaching primarily Asian-American students and have had a great experience with them. The parents' dedication to their children's education is truly remarkable. I have students who have been playing for 6 years with me and I see that finally now they truly love and appreciate the fact that they play the piano. Now they are older and play late intermediate/early advanced repertoire. But this year for the first time I also started teaching white Americans in a different location. The cultural difference between my Asian-American students and white Americans was so interesting to observe. My beginner white American students actually seem to have an easier time liking the piano and practicing, and I believe because their parents don't have too much expectations from their playing. The parents don't constantly ask me in front of their children how they are doing and complain that they don't practice every day. I think it's definitely something to think about. Of course, whether they continue to play for the next 6 years is still a question
