Calling all host families …

We have another young person coming to us for a year in the Music School who needs a host family in Edinburgh:  a delightful young chap from Germany named Theo.  He is 16 years old, plays the trumpet and piano, and likes football, tennis, reading, and drawing.  Click here to see his letter and pictures.

Would you like to host Theo for the year?  Get in touch and say hello!

We have a 15-year-old percussionist coming to the Music School for a year, from Germany. She is the daughter of an orchestral percussionist, which probably helps explain her top-ten ranking in national music competitions recently. Her father is looking for a host family for her, starting this August. He is happy, of course, to cover her living expenses.

If you or another Broughton family might be interested, please drop a line to intouch@bhspc.org.uk, and we will send it on. There is performance video, which is very impressive!

Please let us know.
