Luca Cubisino is a polyhedral artist, whose path is paved with performance, teaching, research, and organizational activity. Prize winner in more than twenty national and international piano competitions, he has played at prestigious venues in some of the major cities throughout Europe and the U.S.



Dr. Cubisino owns a BM from the Conservatory of Music “Vincenzo Bellini” in Catania (Italy); a MM from the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Rotterdam (The Netherlands); a second MM from the Conservatory of Music “Bruno Maderna” in Cesena (Italy); a third MM from Texas State University-San Marcos (U.S.); and a DMA from the Frost School of Music, University of Miami, where he studied under the guidance of Professors Tian Ying and Kevin Kenner, earning a keyboard pedagogy’s cognate with Dr. Naoko Takao.



Dr. Cubisino has worked with dozens of teachers, focusing for years on the pedagogical approach of Vincenzo Scaramuzza, who taught the very young Martha Argerich and Fausto Zadra. Thanks to the mentoring of Franco Scala (Zadra's pupil), Dr. Cubisino was able to closely understand the peculiarities of this method, which he now applies to his students.



Dr. Cubisino currently teaches at the Preparatory Program of the Frost School of Music, where he has developed and coordinates a program for advanced piano students (Frost Prep Advanced Piano Program). The program offers a comprehensive curriculum that allows students to develop technical and artistic abilities at the highest level. His students have been playing for eminent pianists, winning top prizes in more than 40 piano competitions, awarded scholarships, playing with major orchestras of South Florida, and accepted into the undergraduate programs of prestigious universities in the U.S. and Europe.
