Stafford Music Academy

Stafford Music Academy provides high-quality music lessons in Bloomington, Indiana to both children and adults. Established in 2005 by Bloomington native Christopher Stafford, Stafford Music Academy is now owned by Jessica Harris. We are proud to say that we have helped bring music to thousands of lives.

Our instructors’ priority is to get to know you or your child personally so that they may tailor-fit the music lesson to your needs and desires. Some of our teachers are professional musicians, while others are current or graduated students of Indiana University’s esteemed Jacobs School of Music. All teachers have passed extensive screening and background checks and are locally famous for "going the extra mile” for their students.

We currently offer lessons on piano, guitar (acoustic and electric), bass (upright and electric), drums, violin, viola, cello, flute, piccolo, clarinet, bassoon, oboe, saxophone, recorder, voice, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, French horn, trombone, tuba, trumpet and euphonium.

We are conveniently located on Bloomington’s east side, right between Rogers-Binford and the College Mall. With such amenities as a large, free parking lot, free WiFi, two spacious waiting areas complete with magazines and kids’ activities, and studio space that was designed and built specifically for music lessons (with extensive soundproofing), our facilities will not disappoint!
