Giampiero Bugliarello was introduced to the piano at the age of 4 when he began toying with the family piano, approaching it with an empirical perspective as he explored its sound and range. His formal education began shortly afterward under the guidance of Ketty Teriaca. At age 10, Giampiero studied music theory with Alberto Alibrandi, who set him on the path to become a classical pianist, a composer, and a jazz musician. At age 11, he enrolled at the Vincenzo Bellini Conservatory in Catania, led by Carmelo Pappalardo. He graduated from the conservatory with high honors in piano performance. In 2015, Giampiero left Italy to pursue his studies in Piano Performance in the United States. He received a master’s degree and doctoral degree in piano performance at The Catholic University of America. He received two full scholarships from the university and worked as a teaching and research assistant while pursuing his studies. Later he was appointed as an Ad-honorem visiting scholar, conducting research for the Latin American Music Center in collaboration with the label Naxos en Español. He currently teaches piano, composition, and history of music at the Music School of Delaware and at the Fairfax Conservatory of Music in Fairfax, Virginia. Giampiero has furthered his studies at the Hochschule Sommerakademie Mozarteum in Salzburg and at the Washington International Piano Festival. He is a prize-winner of awards in various national and international piano competitions, including Catholic University of America International Piano Competition, Gianluca Campochiaro International Competition, J.
