Hi!

It's Álvaro from Spain. I'm a pianist and composer focused on jazz and improvisation. I studied at Manhattan School of Music and currently play and record with my bands around New York and Europe, having 4 albums released as a leader.
After years of teaching experience, I direct my classes to ear training, harmony, and developing your intuition as an improviser. We can also work on sightreading or more technical issues. I teach at my own rehearsal space in Manhattan or I can also go visit you.
