In addition to a great deal of self-education, Bizarro studied music while attending the Regional Conservatoire of Sobreda in Portugal, choir and classical piano with professor Luís Pinto and took personal classes with professor Jorge Santos and Lucía del Campo and attended Master Classes at the Royal College of Music in London.

He received the Audio Engineering Diploma at SAE (School of Audio Engineering) in Madrid, Spain, where he was also a supervising monitor.
