Tyler Cameron Bragg

Tyler Cameron Bragg started his musical journey at the age of 8 by learning to play the guitar. After gravitating toward drums and percussion, he moved from California to Portland in 2006 and earned his Bachelor’s of Music degree in percussion from Portland State University, studying under Dr. Joel Bluestone. He then earned his Master’s of Music degree in percussion as a Graduate Teaching Assistant from Central Michigan University, studying under Dr. Andrew Spencer.

Upon graduating from CMU, Tyler moved back to the PNW and began teaching award winning concert and marching percussion ensembles at Lincoln High School (Portland, OR), Skyview High School (Vancouver, WA), Beaverton High School (Beaverton, OR), and Evergreen High School (Vancouver, WA). In 2017, Tyler joined the music publishing team at Tapspace Publications in Portland, OR working under Jim Casella and Murray Gusseck. After leaving Tapspace in 2021, he began working with non-profit performance organizations, first with the Oregon Symphony, then the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and currently with The Cleveland Orchestra as Artistic Administrator.

Outside of music, Tyler can be found reading about Anglo Saxon poetry and American history, perfecting his golf swing, or in his kitchen trying to refine his favorite Italian and Szechuan recipes.
