Tyler Adres

Tyler Adres is a first-generation student attending the Fairhaven Interdisciplinary College at Western Washington University. While in his third year, Tyler has curated a specialized major around his passion for working with children: Nonprofit Administration: Education and The Arts. He hopes to work in the Philippines with this degree, making art education more accessible to children in these communities. Tyler was born and raised in Sitka and started playing the alto saxophone when he was in the 5th grade. Inspired by his cousin Kristine Banh, he signed up for the Sitka Fine Arts Camp in the 8th grade and continued to enroll until he graduated high school. While being a student at the camp, he also contributed as an elementary camp counselor and a music assistant for the middle school camp. Tyler’s role at camp has evolved over the years; he will be teaching Saxophone Technique, and will work as the Day Student Counselor this summer. Tyler has gotten to play with the Jazz on the Waterfront band for the past two years, and is currently Lead Alto in Western Washington University’s jazz band. Outside of music, Tyler works for an elementary school during the school year, enjoys photography, and plays basketball with his friends.

Tyler will be teaching Saxophone Technique at Middle School Camp.
