Educational experiences 

THE MISSION of the brand

The main goal of ACADEMY14 is to develop a path that leads the student to increase 
their musical and drumming skills and knowledge, 
linking them to their individuality, to develop a own musical taste :

  • using the best teaching methodologies in the world,
  • building a detailed study path, with targeted, progressive and musical exercises
  • creating an environment that puts the student at ease 
  • with the excitement and fun of playing favorite songs, riding the student in the difficult path of learning to make music with others.


We strongly believe in creating places where people can grow, with enthusiasm,
 to experience music (also) as a form of personal growth and
of the community to which they belong.
