given the fact that cultural subsidies have been cut a lot in the Netherlands
this year (I believe WORM suffered too), and the price of real estate in
Rotterdam... (WORM is renting the location and has people around to manage
it, e.g. for drinks and other support). I don't think all of the money goes
directly to mr. Lievens' fees. Also assuming that he has to commute from
Brussels to Rotterdam for each class...
350 euro for 12 times 3 hours is less than 10 euros per hour...
I think that makes the course almost cheaper than a visit to a hollywood
movie, or to a sport's school. Not too unreasonable, I think...

I'm also guessing that the amount of students will be around 10, rather than
20...

Anyway, I think it is great that WORM is offering such a course and thereby
promoting Linux Audio, as well as building a local community for it...

sincerely,
Marije
