    Intuitive piano: learn to play & understand like the pros with a pianist composer

    Learning piano with Tyler is a dynamic partnership between teacher and student. From games and activities that help master the basics of playing and reading music to having the student take ownership through choices about what music they learn, Tyler’s approach to teaching centers around building an intuitive understanding of music customized to each student’s interests and goals. Instead of mindless repetition, students learn the “secret sauce” that makes famous music work while they study pieces in a variety of styles, genres—and even write their own!
