“Dr. Marchiando is one of the finest trumpeters of his generation. He is an experienced soloist, chamber, and orchestral performer who brings a great deal of experience and enthusiasm to his teaching. He is also one of finest personalities I have ever worked with.”

John received degrees from the University of Michigan (B.M. ’92, M.M. ’95) and most recently completed his Doctor of Musical Arts degree at Arizona State University (2004). His dissertation, The Rafael Méndez Online Library (mendezlibrary.asu.edu), is the official website of the Rafael Méndez Library housed at Arizona State.
