something old, something new

With a long list of songs and scores that have impacted his life and creativity, Tyler has enjoyed work as an arranger, often creating mashups and melodies of related songs and invigorating them with fresh life through reimagined harmonies, colorful orchestration, and tight-knit vocal interplay.


Tyler graduated summa cum laude from West Chester University of Pennsylvania with both Bachelor’s (B.M. 2013) and Master’s (M.M. 2017) degrees in Music Theory & Composition. He has studied composition with Robert Maggio, Mark Rimple, Van Stiefel, Adam Silverman, and Larry Nelson.

Tyler’s musical skill set has been invaluable to the Servant Stage team. Whether it’s creating original compositions or arranging music for an entire show, he brings musical excellence, artistry, and professionalism to every project. He is able to write and arrange for a wide variety of styles and instrumentation and we are so grateful for the many memorable and artistic works of music he has created.
