Tyer was born in Sydney. In 1960,[4] she was one of two students (the other was Ann Carr-Boyd) to graduate from the University of Sydney[5] with a Bachelor of Music Degree.[6] She worked as the managing editor of Music Now for four years, and taught music in public schools and at the University of Sydney.[3]
Tyer then earned an M.A. in the analysis of contemporary music from University College in Cardiff, Wales, under Dr. Arnold Whittall. While there, she worked in the electronics studio and studied psycho-acoustics in the physics department.[3] Her thesis was about The Church Parables of Benjamin Britten.[7] In 1974, she became a lecturer in Academic Studies at Newcastle Conservatorium of Music, a branch of the New South Wales State Conservatorium of Music, where she remained through at least 1985.[3]
