Under Pablo Estigarribia's tutelage, she hones her tango piano skills. She's enriched her craft at the Tango Music Institute and the Tanguero Workshop, both led by Argentine musicians.

Alexander Zeyliger, grew up immersed in 1930s and ‘40s records, honing his musical talent.

Under mentors Frieda Bernstein and Eugene Brancoveanu, he mastered classical singing. Discovering Argentine tango, he delved into singing and playing the bandoneon, attending the Tango Music Institute at Reed College and Stowe Tango Music Festival. Today, he leads multiple tango groups in the Bay Area.
