Acclaimed Composer Tyler Arcari Visits Keith Valley Keith Valley recently welcomed composer Tyler Arcari for a special Q&A session with 7th and 8th-grade Performing Arts students.

Arcari has performed works around the world and is known for creating music for developing musicians. He is a former middle and high school teacher and currently serves as the Director of Music Production and Editing at several prestigious publishing companies, including Excelcia Music Publishing.
