Tyler Luppi

Tyler (he/him) is a versatile multi-instrumentalist with an extensive performance and recording background. Beginning his study of music with classical piano lessons at the age of 5, Tyler Luppi has now been teaching instrumentalists of all ages for over a decade. His teaching career began at Litchfield Jazz Camp, where he quickly went from student at age 17 to teacher at age 18 and was a teaching assistant for 6 years at the program. Before he joined the Lyriq team in 2022, Tyler taught in Park Slope Music in Brooklyn, New York for 5+ years.

While pursuing his Jazz degree from Claus Conservatoire in Groningen, Netherlands, Tyler was a finalist in the 2013 Mechelen Jazz Competition in Belgium as a part of the “Sergej Avenesov Quartet” and was the winner of the 2014 Leiden Jazz Competition as part of the “Yoonmi Choi Trio.” In 2013, Tyler toured and recorded in Lithuania where the trio won the Gitarų šėlsmas in the jazz category.

Tyler’s current performance focuses are his project Lofi_Improv and a monthly VGM jam session he co-created and hosts at NYC-OS every first Friday of the month.

Tyler’s teaching philosophy involves learning the fundamentals of music, developing a repertoire of your instrument’s idiomatic pieces, and connecting those concepts with your own understanding of music and interests. To pursue and master these teaching philosophies in his lessons, you’ll practice the discipline of daily creation, no matter how small. Tyler helps instrumentalists, young and old, to learn the steps needed to achieve this on the piano, guitar, bass, and ukulele in a variety of genres. All in all, it is upward and onward when studying with Tyler- music has absolutely limitless potential!
