Tyler Landers is a student at Norcross High School in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, who began playing the tuba in 2021 at Pinckneyville Middle School. Since beginning his musical studies, Tyler has developed into an accomplished young tubist and active performer throughout the Metro Atlanta area. Now entering his fifth year in the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s Talent Development Program (TDP), he continues to study with Michael Moore, Principal Tuba of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and his mentor, Roland Ventura, Director of Bands at Pinckneyville Middle School.

Through TDP, Tyler has become an active performer throughout the Metro Atlanta area. He is currently in his fourth year with the Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony, where he serves as principal tuba; his third year with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra; and his second year with the Emory Youth Symphony Orchestra. These ensembles have provided him with extensive performance experience and opportunities to develop the skills that will support him throughout his musical career. Tyler has also participated in the Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) All-State Band and Orchestra for four consecutive years. TDP has also provided Tyler with opportunities to grow through masterclasses, recitals, and coaching while emphasizing the discipline and preparation needed for continued success beyond the program.

During the summers, Tyler continues to expand his musical experience through camps and performance tours. This past summer, he toured Chicago with the Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony before traveling to Spain with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. Following his return to the United States, he attended the inaugural Cleveland Institute of Music Summer Brass Lab, where he further developed his musicianship and deepened his experience as a brass player. Previously, Tyler attended the Brevard Music Center in 2024 and 2025 and participated in the International Euphonium-Tuba Festival at Emory University. These experiences have allowed him to study with accomplished musicians, perform in new settings, and continue expanding his musical perspective.

Outside of music, Tyler enjoys cooking, which provides him with a creative outlet and a sense of balance alongside his demanding musical schedule.
