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
