I will be doing a semi-paid internship in Germany this summer (of course not an internship in piano performance, but for my other non-music degree). My guess is I won't be practicing 8 hours a day or so, but I will certainly want to keep up some practicing. So questions (for everyone in the know, but especially for binx

):

Where can I possibly have access to decent pianos? I'll be in Germany for about 3 months or so, so does it worth it to rent a piano? (or do they even offer piano renting services?)

Should I get a teacher in Germany, maybe for bi-weekly lesson? If so, how does having private lessons work in Germany (where to find a teacher, how much do lessons generally cost, etc)?

Concert hints: how much tickets usually cost? Are there student discount / specials? Where to find out who is playing where (I guess at some point I will need to brave through some German websites...)?

And other tips/hints about Germany, Germans, or living in Germany would be appreciated, too, but that's off-topic

Thanks a bunch.
