"Blake approaches new and classic repertoire with sensitivity and intelligence, delivering interpretations that are original yet faithful to the composer's intent. He is also a very talented composer, a fine improviser, and an excellent teacher. It is an honor having him in my ensemble and I always look forward to making music with him."

"Blake Tyson, in addition to being a fabulous performer, has the unique ability to relate to students of all ability levels in masterclass and clinic settings. His thorough knowledge of music makes him a valuable role model for today's young musicians--and not just percussionists. My students are still talking about his latest visit to our campus! I give him my highest recommendation, and hope to have him back soon!"
