Try keeping chickens with a couple of cockerels. Get up at the usual country time of 4:30 to 5:00 and mow the lawn, take out last nights bottles and throw them in a metal dustbin.Try to get through as many noisy chores as you can. Then go back to bed.

I think Laura Norder will be after you if you start mowing before 8 a.m. Chickens and a cockerel is a good idea.

Fortunately for the neighbours I'm not a beginner
When I learn a new piece, I practise the difficult passages out of earshot of everyone, including OH !

Lori, do you have any taped bagpipe music? If so, play it quite loudly towards your neighbouring gite. They will move away fast, go indoors, leave or commit suicide!

My elderly neighbour used to play the accordion. It was lovely to hear, even late in the evening.

The music teacher isn't THAT bad. It also isn't constant. I'm not sure exactly which house she is in. Sound travels strangely sometimes. I often hear the boulangere's big dog barking when I am in our cour. It sounds like he is just next to me when in reality, he lives on the opposite side of the street/opposite side of our house.
We won't be living in this house forever, so we cope like everyone else that lives in town. Last Sunday was the wine festival in town. I have never seen so many people packed into this town ever.. Inch to inch everywhere. Must have put a huge strain on the already strained utilities of the village.
