Both/and Music School was founded by teaching artist and multi-instrumentalist David Alvarez (b. 1996). He's played both piano and saxophone for 20 years, and specializes in improvised music. His teaching approach helps students connect with music by developing both the technical facility and stylistic awareness needed to reach their goals. He welcomes students of all ages and skill level for instruction.
