It depends on when and how you schedule them, and how much time each 
extra-curricular thing takes. I see other parents spending time taking their 
child to eight weeks of soccer...games every Saturday, practices three and 
four times a week....then they start all over again with the next seasonal 
sport, with barely a break in between. No, thanks, that wouldn't be for me 
either. My girls each take one lesson per week over and above their piano 
lesson with me. Jennifer *was* involved in choir, but that was seasonal as 
well. I prefer this method...once a week, predictable. When I take one to 
lesson, I can spend time with the other one, one on one. It's really nice.
