Hmm. This one's a little over my knowledge. Steve could probably answer this though.
I don't know how many spaces or how large the facility is, but my guess (and I don't know the electrical standards in Spain) here in the states they would probably run a three phase line into the building. Usually in a smaller building, a single phase 200 amp run is all that's needed.

Hugo, without more info no one can say; it's like asking "how many miles per gallon of gas will a car go?" - Volkswagen, limousine, ferrari, all different answers.
If you have some idea of your equipment list for the studio, we could get closer.
Practice rooms - if you're running 127 volt power instead of 220 (not sure of Spain's exact setup either, only those two voltages listed) then at least two 20 amp circuits per room (If your power system uses two phases as I suspect, keep both circuits in any room on the SAME PHASE) plus separate circuits for lights - and do NOT, please, use flourescent lights in your practice rooms - kids and their crappy amps already make too much hum without picking up flourescents on their guitar pickups...

More than enough; rough guess is, that total list of gear would use less than 2500 watts cranked. 10,500 watts would make it so you didn't have to worry what you plug in that's extra, or where you plug it in - will you have separate circuits for lights and heat/cool? if not, then it may NOT be enough...
