Alvaro Carmena-Black is a Spanish-American trumpet player who began playing trumpet at the age of seven. From that point on, he has been focusing on growing his skills as both a performer and a teacher.

Since moving to the United States, Alvaro has been exposed to many different teaching methods and musical styles, from the classical William Adam method to Jazz improvisation.

In May 2022, Alvaro graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Brass Performance Studies.

As a music educator, Alvaro hopes to pass on his knowledge and experience to his students so they can continue to grow along their musical journey.

In addition to private music lessons, Alvaro teaches an early childhood music program at a Spanish immersion school in Los Angeles. Cumulatively between private and group classes, Alvaro plans to continue to grow as a music teacher to impact students in the LA area.
