Since 2011 I\u2019m also Head of the Department of Music and Program coordinator for our Chamber Music Program.<\/p>\n<p>I have been a performer since I finished my Postgraduate Diploma at the Royal College Academy of Music in Stockholm in 1998. After some years of freelancing I started my Doctorate Master of Arts program at Stony Brook University in the United States, which I finished in 2008. My doctorate studies\u00a0 were made possible thanks to the Swedish Royal Academy of Music, who twice awarded me a Grand Scholarship for studies abroad.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy performing as a soloist as well as a chamber musician, and I also like to give masterclasses and lecture-recitals on specific themes or singular pieces from the piano repertoire. Since I\u2019m very interested in internationalization, something which I find very important to nourish our artistic experience and inspiration, I have had the opportunity to perform in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa.<\/p>\n<p>After spending years living abroad in the US and in Paris, France, I moved back to Sweden in 2011 and I\u2019m now living in the countryside in a house from the 1700th\u00a0century outside the city of V\u00e4ster\u00e5s which is the town of my University.<\/p>\n<p>\u25ba <a href=\"http:\/\/staffansandstrom.se\/?page_id=96\">Concerts and other<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nUpdated 7 september\u00a02020 I\u2019m a Swedish pianist and Senior Lecturer at M\u00e4lardalen University in Sweden, where I teach piano, chamber&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/staffansandstrom.se\/?page_id=36\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;About me&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"sfsi_plus_gutenberg_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_show_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_type":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_alignemt":"","sfsi_plus_gutenburg_max_per_row":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-36","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffansandstrom.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/36","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffansandstrom.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffansandstrom.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffansandstrom.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staffansandstrom.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/staffansandstrom.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/36\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1228,"href":"https:\/\/staffansandstrom.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/36\/revisions\/1228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staffansandstrom.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
