Marshall is a singer, pianist, songwriter, and educator with a unique blend of educational and practical qualifications. He is a graduate with Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in jazz music performance from York University. As an experienced private music teacher, he is qualified to teach voice, piano, music theory, and even guitar.  With an equal passion for the art of Hank Williams, Ray Charles, Nina Simone, and Tom Waits, it is easy to hear that he has spent many hours soaking up the sounds of the greats, effortlessly blending them into a voice that is completely his own. He is passionate and knowledgeable of music on many levels, and originally fell in love with music holding a guitar in his hands, later developing his skills on piano, which has been his instrument of choice ever since. He performs regularly solo and with his band, and is always working on new musical albums and projects. 

Marshall is a patient and understanding teacher, running lessons in ways that are both fun, extremely supportive, and educational.
