Life in Stauffer
Being a student at the Stauffer Academy means being part of an artistic community of excellence, where talent develops through dialogue and sharing. The experience at the Academy goes beyond simple lessons: it is an immersive training journey in an environment of mutual stimulation and constant enrichment.
The Academy offers spaces and opportunities where students can interact, play together, exchange ideas and inspiration, fostering lasting artistic and professional bonds.

In this context of excellence and collaboration, each student is guided on a path that enhances their uniqueness, preparing them to face their professional career with awareness.
Recording Studio
The Stauffer Academy provides its students with a recording studio equipped with audio-video instrumentation and a control room with professional recording technology. This space allows students to record their performances at the Sala Stradivari – a crucial opportunity for audition preparation and the development of their artistic portfolio.
Guest house
A comfortable and modern facility, the Stauffer Guesthouse offers students the opportunity to stay at a discounted rate just a few steps from the Academy during lesson periods. It features 9 rooms with 12 beds, a fully equipped kitchen, a laundry area, and shared spaces.
Nkoda
At the Stauffer Academy, students have unlimited access to the extensive digital library of nkoda, which contains over 100.000 musical scores: a service of great use in facilitating the study and knowledge of the repertoire.
All-Steinway School
Thanks to the acquisition of a new collection of Steinway grand pianos, the Stauffer Academy is the first All-Steinway School in Italy, thus joining the circuit that brings together many of the world’s most prestigious institutions for higher music education (including the Curtis Institute of Music and the Yale School of Music).
