I am Tyler Tvrdy, and I am very excited to be teaching music at Norterra Canyon for a second year! This year, I will be teaching grades 1-4 General Music and 6-8 MYP IB Music. 

I graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Vocal Music Education. I taught pre-k for a year in Missouri before moving abroad to the Kingdom of Bahrain where I taught middle school music at an international school for five years. Last year, I moved across the world to another desert here in Phoenix. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, hiking, cooking, and playing piano and ukulele, and I am always singing! 

I can’t wait to start making music with all the amazing students at Norterra Canyon this year!
