Wyatt then studied guitar performance at the University of North Dakota (UND), where he discovered blues, jazz, and classical guitar. While in his undergraduate studies, Wyatt learned all about music theory and how to read and perform classical and jazz music on guitar. To develop those skills, he studied under professor Thomas Anderson for classical guitar, and professors Mike Blake and Kris Eylands for jazz. During his four years at UND, Wyatt performed in numerous college music showcases on classical guitar, two major solo recitals, multiple jazz bands, several solo wedding ceremonies, and regularly played in the city’s premier wedding/event band. At the same time, Wyatt began his first teaching job at a local music store/school, where he discovered his passion for teaching students of all ages and all genres.
Immediately following undergraduate college, Wyatt was accepted into the graduate program of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where he pursued a masters degree in Guitar Performance, under the direction of classical guitar master David Tanenbaum.
