As a boy, "young Alwin" (his parents addressed him by his given name) used to sit beside his mother as she played piano in church, and later sang in the choir. Jarreau was bright, and after high school opted to study psychology, earning a masters degree and landing work in San Francisco as a vocational rehabilitation counselor.
