'“Tyler is a wonderful choir director. His arrangements are beautiful and really showcase the talents of our group. I have had the pleasure of singing under Tyler’s guidance for 3 seasons now and I feel like I have grown as a singer. When I heard the arrangement for one of our songs included a solo, I became interested. I spoke to Tyler about it and he encouraged me to try it. His uplifting spirit and direction during our rehearsals made me feel confident to try the solo. Without his kindness and encouragement, I would not have done it. He continues to inspire me to try my best each week”
-C. Spencer, Choir member
“Tyler’s weekly choir practices are fun, lively, informative, and focused. His genuine love for teaching shines through, and he often adds humour to the mix, creating a warm, inviting, professional, inclusive, and relaxed place to be. Tyler’s energetic and enthusiastic approach lifts my spirits, even after a long day at work!”
