About Tyler
Thank you for your interest in lessons! I am a passionate teacher with over a decade of experience and proven results. My students have placed in national and international competitions. They have passed up to Grade 8 of ABRSM and Level 10 of the MTAC Certificate of Merit (CM) exams. I also tutor AP Music Theory, and my students have received up to a 5 on the exam, giving them college credit.
I offer 30-minute, 45-minute, and 1-hour online lessons over Zoom to students ages 7 and up. I teach all levels of voice, piano, composition, and theory. You might think online lessons would take away the joy of in-person learning, but I have had a full teaching studio of over 20 lessons a week since 2020. While the experience is slightly different, I have a wonderful remote setup with multiple devices and a quality microphone that allow for a seamless lesson experience. My students enjoy learning an instrument in the comfort of their home, not having to commute, and having the convenience of online learning in their busy lives.
I have a passion for teaching neurodivergent populations, particularly those with autism. These students are often naturally gifted in music, frequently possessing perfect pitch and a photographic memory. They are often exceptional candidates for training in composition.
I have also taught composition at the college level. As a composer, I teach theory, composition, orchestration, and arranging. I have written extensively for both orchestra and wind ensemble. I have had performances of my works in over 10 US states.
I currently have a large studio, and I have some availability in my schedule. If you are interested in studying with me, please be in touch.
I started teaching piano full-time in California in 2016. Most of my students have opted to continue studying with me remotely throughout the pandemic. Many of them have been my students for 4-6 years.

I typically start lessons with new students by testing their knowledge of music. I always try to have students learn a piece during the trial. For beginners, I work in the Faber Piano Adventures books, Basic of Keyboard Theory books, and Keith Snell technique books. Based on a student's progress, I introduce them to short Classical piano pieces. For students interested in popular music, I ensure they have a foundation in music theory before learning to improvise. Fundamentally, I teach music from a musical AND mechanical perspective. I provide detailed fingerings for students that are indispensable.
I am equally well-versed in teaching beginning, intermediate, and advanced piano students from ages 4 to 60+. My youngest students started when they were 4 years old, and have continued as my students for over 4 years. Many of my students are now advanced and capable of playing difficult repertoire, which includes Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata, Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu, and Liszt's La Campanella.
Learn about music from multiple perspectives. If I said, "I can write and speak English, but I cannot read it", I would not be considered an educated person. The same is true with music, you should be able to read, write, and speak the language in order to be considered fluent.
I recently had two students play the Fantasie Impromptu and La Campanella from memory in consecutive lessons.

Tyler meets his students where they are with zero judgement and bottomless patience. My son’s fine motor skills improved more in just 6 months of piano lessons with Tyler than they did with intensive after school OT. My son is now at peer level and is no longer being monitored for delay. Now that he’s caught up with his peers, my son is a more confident and creative child. We are forever grateful to have connected with Tyler and recommend him to everyone!
Tyler has been teaching my 10-year-old autistic son music composition for the past few months. My son, who is a very hard kid to teach, connected with Tyler immediately and loves working with him. I love that Tyler is very patient with my son and presumes competence which very few teachers do when it comes to a special needs child. We love Tyler. He is the best!
