Accommodation of the students by host families

The warm atmosphere and the extreme conviviality that is produced by the personalized welcome in local families is absolutely remarquable and represent the specificity of the Master Classes in Wavre. 

The investment of the host family is obvious: they take in their home a young virtuose, offering bed and food (breakfast and dinner) . If possible, driving the student to the Academy.
In exchange, the family gets the pleasure of creating contacts with young people from all over the world, to understand  their engagement, to exchange ideas between people from different cultures and to discover the richness of direct and extended contacts with those young people. 

Most of the time, the links created during the Master Clases continue via mail or e-mails. They can evolve over long times, especially for those pupils that choose to continue a professional carrier in Music, and eventually will become renowned.
