Tyson's Story
College
After High School, I proceeded to Southern Illinois University to obtain what I thought would be a Music Education degree. Five years later I had a double degree in Piano Performance and Piano Pedagogy with a minor in Voice/Opera. What a mouthful! I went on to get my Masters degree in Accompanying from Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music where I was able to work with many world-class faculty as well as guest teachers that have shaped the beginning of my performing and teaching career. It will be important that I continue to learn and grow and as my career has and hopefully will continue to do.
