As the child of a professional clarinet player and woodwinds professor, Tyson’s musical background dates back to his early childhood, when he started learning violin and guitar. He has explored many styles of music, including jazz, bluegrass, and folk varieties, with an emphasis on the upright bass, guitar, and fiddle. He is passionate about the traditional fiddle and banjo tunes associated with southern Appalachia, often referred to as old time music. Tyson has taught for the Pacolet Junior Appalachian Musicians program, the Montessori Academy of Spartanburg, and offers private lessons for guitar, banjo, fiddle, upright bass, and ukulele.
