Mr. Tyler Larson is an instructor, performer, and recording artist who resides in Windsor Heights, Iowa. His 8-Bit music received international attention upon the release of "THE 8-BIT HYMNAL" back in 2013 via Noisetrade. He is also an accomplished pianist & performer -honing his craft and signature sound for over 20 years. Though classically trained, Tyler's original piano compositions and live performances are reminiscent of ragtime and early musical theatre works intertwined with the high energy vocal stamina that can be heard throughout the rock era of the seventies and the eighties. Mr. Tyler Larson is also a producer and audio engineer. His production work is audible throughout the arrangements of hundreds of tracks that he produced and recorded with artists at his Lincoln, Nebraska recording studio (Good Times Studio) between 2011 and 2016.

Lessons

Tyler loves teaching all ages of students!
He’s a classically trained pianist and multi-instrumentalist. He starts each of his piano students with classical training. Once the basics are acquired, he works with students on taking ownership of their musical craft by building/reading/hearing chord progressions, ear-training, composition, and performance mastery.

Performance

Tyler has a passion for songwriting and performance. He currently performs under the guise "Billy Saffyre". He records and plays shows around the midwest as “Billy”. Inspired by dueling pianos, Tyler created this over-the-top celebration of singing and playing. It’s an all ages piano and vocals show -with enthusiasm!
