Biography . . .

Tyler Hawkins began lessons at the age of eight. His first formal studies in classical guitar were with Ray Sealey in London Ontario. He was deeply inspired by the Bach Lute Suite recordings of ten string guitarist Narciso Yepes (1927 - 1997). This motivation prompted an introduction with Toronto music instructor/composer Ted Lebar with whom he studied multi-string guitar technique at York University. Other teachers of notable mention are Lynne Gangbar and Alan Torok.
