Accommodation There are
two kinds of participant a)
Non-resident: local students, or
participants who choose to live out in hotels, Holiday homes, Campings, etc.
taking two main meals b)
Full Non –residents: who
take no meals, do not board but just
come for music or music and languages c)
Resident: those who board and take all their meals at the
College for the duration of the course. There are several ways to
find accommodation for students wishing more privacy : 1.
Summer lets, Camping , Holiday Homes not far
from the College 2.
Hotel: some
very nice hotels nearby, at walking distance Adults may also be accommodated at the College at
the rate of £40 (board and lodging) per day. This fee comprises the use of
the sporting facilities. All applications must be made in advance. We must however emphasize that the College is
not a hotel (no double beds, and there are more showers than bathtubs!) Meals: particular care will be taken to provide
balanced and enjoyable menus – continental breakfast, French cuisine for
lunch and dinner, varied salads, and a choice of desserts, yoghurts and
cheeses. Organisation Both
types of participant are assigned to one of 2 groups: 1.
The adult over-18’s
group, 2.
The « junior » 13 to
17-year-old group, the junior groups are supervised and given active and
positive support by trained staff. 1.
We take
sometimes –if known to us from a previous course- advanced level only,
unaccompanied children from 11 to 13, but never children who have not board
before with us. The junior group members will have to conform
to the basic rules and regulations of the College and LMFL. Junior students in
possession of a written authorisation from their legal guardian/parents will
be authorised to leave the school premises in the afternoon/evening without
supervision – a copy must be sent by mail before the start of the
course. We want to emphasize that we do not favour this
kind of authorization. Nevertheless if the course directors feel that the junior
student abuses that authorisation and puts himself (herself) at risk, the
authorization will be cancelled. This is
not negotiable. Senior group participants are not affected by the
above arrangement but, nevertheless, in cases of anti-social behaviour senior
participants will be asked to leave the course and the premises without any
refund possible. Any decision on a disciplinary issue is the sole
responsibility of the Course Director. Social life
The LMFL Cévenol College summer courses have as their
objectives - Creating a highly motivating musical atmosphere
for all participants, and - Encouraging social interaction between all in
order to give each student the feeling of belonging to one big musical
family. Social life evolves mainly around music making,
evenings busy with our teachers and advanced students giving solo
performances or chamber music concerts. There are lots of cafés and convenience stores…and
lovely shops within 1 mile of the
Collège Cévenol General Information 1. We suggest that participants obtain a
certificate of insurance against civil liability, theft, and physical injury
and send it with the final payment. 2. We particularly draw your attention to the
need to insure musical instruments as well (loss and theft). 3. Students normally resident outside the
European Union should hold a medical insurance. 4. Use of all sports equipment at the school is
free. 5.
The number of resident participants is limited by
the number the College can accommodate. Registration of non-resident
participants may also be limited in order to ensure high standards of
teaching and an enjoyable working atmosphere. 6.
Applications will be treated on a first come
first served basis. 7.
You can only insure your place by paying the full
fees at the required limit date (June 1st ) 8.
Nevertheless, the Course Directors reserve the right to cancel the course if
the number of applicants is deemed to be too low 3 months before the starting
date of the course. In this instance, the total amount already paid will be
refunded in full and no other type of compensation will be given. Cancellation and Refund .If a
participant decides to cancel before the 1stMay, all will be
refunded, less bank charges After
1st May and before the 1st June the registration fees (£500) will be kept
and the balance refunded After
1st June, no refund will be possible Nota
Bene: In case the student’s boarding place and music booking is required by
another student making the same choices, all will be refunded, less bank charges. 10. The balance of fees is due on or before 1st
June after which date any reserved accommodation not paid for in
full will be re-let. 11. We strongly recommend that you take out insurance to
cover cancellation costs. 12. The College has a very strict indoors non-smoking policy. Anyone breaking this rule in their bedroom or in the common rooms will be asked to leave the course and there will be no refund of fees. |
