During this time, he studied piano with Wei-Yi Yang, Elizabeth Parisot, and Yevgeny Yontov. He subsequently attended the University of Michigan to pursue an M.M. with Logan Skelton and was fortunate enough to study as a Toshizo Watanabe Fellow at the Inter-University Center for Japanese Language Studies in Yokohama, Japan. Lyndon received an Artist Diploma at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music under the guidance of Roberto Plano in 2023. He is currently working on a doctorate at the Yale School of Music under the guidance of Wei-Yi Yang.
Lyndon has performed for the American Liszt Society annual conference and has been invited to Kneisel Hall, Pianofest in the Hamptons, and the Virtuoso & Belcanto festival in Lucca, among others. His early training was completed with Chun Chi An in his hometown of Carmel, IN, where he also performed with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra at the Palladium. Other eminent artists he has worked with include Ning An, Boris Berman, Martin Canin, Julian Martin, Robert McDonald, Yong-Hi Moon, and Jean-Yves Thibaudet.
