If someone wanted to move to Europe to study for a while and experience the culture without attending school, how would one support themselves?
I know one of my piano teachers did that WAY back in the day, and he and his wife supported themselves through teaching piano, house sitting, and baby sitting, but that just doesn't seem realistic nowadays.
Let's say, for example, that I wanted to go to Germany and live for a year or two and take lessons with Matthias Hofs, travel to hear the great orchestras, catch a couple of shows at IRCAM, hear some of the European soloists like M. Stockhausen, Gabrielle Cassone, Hakan, Antonsen, Aubier, etc. - how do you do it if you're not independently wealthy (which I am not
)
Great topic!
