It is possible to hire instruments (between £30 and £80 depending on the instrument) for the duration of the stay, but we recommended that every student brings his own instrument (whenever possible).

London is also possible on request, in particular for non-European students and at extra cost. Group leaders supervise the group and animate the outings but will not assume the functions of official guides during the visits and the London tour in particular.
