Tyler “Finley” Ridenour

Dynamic church organist with perfect pitch and a passion for liturgical music, previously leading Salem United Church of Christ's choir. Known for efficient leadership and exceptional communication skills, I thrive in collaborative environments, bringing joy to congregations through music.

I've been a musician my entire life, playing piano since 4, singing since COVID, and recently fell in love with the organ. 

When I was in High School, I've had the privilege to be in all three major choirs; Concert Choir, Chamber, and the award-winning acapella group, Evolve. After High School, I've spent one year at Frostburg State, where I've participated in University Chorale, Chamber Singers, and directed the acapella group, the Xenharmonics. There, I was also music director for Salem UCC, right outside of campus. I've also interned at Divine Mercy Catholic Parish as a cantor.
