Taught by Lili Petrovic, Stefanovich started to play the piano at the age of five, gave her first public recital at the age of seven, and became the youngest student at the University of Belgrade at the age of 13. As well as music, her broad university education encompassed many other disciplines – psychology, education, sociology – and she received her Masters degree in piano at the age of 19. She also studied at the Curtis Institute with Claude Frank, and subsequently studied with Pierre-Laurent Aimard at the Cologne Hochschule where she is now a member of the faculty staff.
