MICHAEL PALMIERI is a noted composer of modern classical music with
hundreds of original compositions to his credit.

Mr. Palmieri's composing ability and know-how have been enhanced by his
experiences teaching courses in keyboard harmony and ear training in
the music theory department at Penn State University, teaching as an
independent music instructor since 1976 and administrating and
concertizing for a major piano manufacturer.

Influenced by his classical music and piano training, which includes an
M.A. degree in music, his years of performance as a professional
musician and his composing, arranging and improvising abilities he has,
as news articles put it, "developed his own musical language and style."

Since 1981 he has regularly presented concerts displaying the
achievements of his pupils at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall
in New York. This annual event has been listed in The New York Times,
New York Magazine and other major newspapers.

Michael Palmieri has created numerous pieces for major performers. Both
the Baltimore Symphony and the San Antonio Symphony Orchestras played
an arrangement written by him. A String Quartet was performed by
the Allard Quartet. His music has been choreographed and performed at
The University of California. "Music for Clarinet and Piano" was played
by prize-winning musicians at music festivals and competitions. Four
scores for brass quintet are played by as many as thirty ensembles
worldwide. The Electric Alligator Ensemble, an electronic keyboard
ensemble, presents performances of his original electronic music.

Mr. Palmieri has written many "Piano Pieces" for his own and other
professional performances and is the author of "Student Piano Pieces",
an ever-growing collection of music written for and performed by his
pupils.

Mr. Palmieri orchestrates music for live performances and produces
instrumental midi/audio tracks for professional recordings.

He has written and performed background arrangements for singers,
string arrangements for rock band, a symphonic accompaniment of a
patriotic song recorded with chorus, a project sponsored by the
government of Norway, and has been commissioned to write original music
and arrangements for innumerable performers.

For over 30 years, Michael Palmieri's technique, reading ability,
improvisations, arranging and compositional skills, as well as his
adaptability to each very different musical situation, increased his
reputation as a top freelance musician. In addition to solo
performances, he has played with virtuoso musicians and singers
including major show business figures. His responsibilities have
encompassed classical, ethnic, popular, Broadway, jazz, and rock music.
Mr. Palmieri has discontinued freelance performing concentrating his
energies on creating new musical compositions and training musicians.
