About Marshal

I have taught courses at McGill University and New York University, as well as private lessons for many years. I hold a Master's Degree with honors in Music Performance from McGill University and an Artist Diploma from NYU. I have been teaching music theory to students of all different levels for 7+ years now, and I love to see my students progress. Aside from teaching, I am a professional jazz double bassist and singer-songwriter. I perform regularly as both a sideman and as a leader featuring my own original music. My music has gotten a lot of attention from reputable press outlets, and I have had my songs played on many radio stations (including CBC) and featured in editorial Spotify playlists, garnering hundreds of thousands of streams. I have recently graduated with an artist diploma at one of the world's leading music conservatories; New York University in Manhattan, New York under scholarship. I have recently recorded with GRAMMY award-winning jazz musicians based out of New York City, and I am very active as a performer/educator in New York's electric music scene.

About the lesson

My teaching methods will vary depending on skill level. I believe it is essential to develop sufficient technique on any instrument as a foremost goal, and so if you are new to the instrument, we will start there. I have a broad understanding of world music/musical theory spanning many different genres (specializing in jazz). I approach each lesson with structure, but I have lots of room for flexibility, and I am open to helping people learn whatever musical style they are most passionate about. My lessons can be geared to players of all ages and skill levels. I have lots of experience teaching newer students because I have a strong method to develop technique that my teachers have passed on to me. I also love to work with intermediate and more advanced players, diving into more complex subject matter and musical conceptions. Though I specialize in bass, I also offer beginner to intermediate acoustic guitar lessons and have lots of experience teaching children and adults the basics of guitar. I would love to hear from you and help you or your child develop this craft and discover a love for this beautiful art form we call music. I am a recent graduate from one of the world's leading music conservatories; New York University located in Manhattan, New York. I will be giving lessons via Zoom remotely as I am currently located in NY. My hourly rate is based upon my qualifications, which include a master's degree in music performance, teaching experience at both NYU and McGill University, and CBC national radio airplay for my original compositions.

Marshal's response
Julien is a very adept electric bassist. He has strong technical rudiments and tenacity to learn new material. We are currently going over some musical theory to help strengthen his musical conception and apply it to the bass. I am very lucky to teach Julien he makes teaching easy.

Perfect! My son has been learning the bass guitar by ear for a couple years. Within a few lessons, Marshal was able to assess his skillset and start teaching him the theory behind reading and ultimately creating music. I can definitely see and hear my son's renewed confidence in his guitar skills.

Marshal is patient, punctual, easy to work with, and has great passion for music. I would highly recommend Marshal as a music tutor.

Marshal's response
Jordan already has the basics down. He is a very very quick learner and has strong ears and the ability to pick up new material easily. As with a lot of students that learn by ear, they need to develop strong theory skills as well. This is the next step for Jordan as we look to broaden his sense of music through and Guitar/Bass.

Having worked with Marshal for many years I can highly recommend him as a bassist, composer, and educator.

Marshal's knowledge, experience and deep commitment to the upright bass is what sets him apart as an educator.

I'm impressed by his releases in jazz / folk / country and other genres as well as his overall versatility as a player. Be sure to check out his book on Scott Lafaro style techniques!

Marshal has truly opened the bass guitar for me! Whether we are working on songs, technique, song writing or music theory he notices what I am missing and has beastly recommendations that make a difference. Its also nice to have a teacher who can satisfy my interest in blues, folk and jazz! He's got a masters in jazz bass performance from Mcgill, so yeah he knows what he's doing! I would easily recommend Marshal to any intermediate player who wants the keys to unlocking their instrument.
