About Marshall

Marshall Jones is a composer, musician, and educator currently serving as Associate Minister of Worship and Music at First Lutheran Church in Colorado Springs. Marshall has been a church musician for 18 years in North Carolina, Florida, Nebraska, Montana, and Colorado. In those positions, he has worked with choirs and handbell ensembles of all ages. He has led workshops for area festivals with the Handbell Musicians and demonstrated new techniques at the International Handbell Symposium. Marshall has also been instrumental in introducing congregations to a wider range of music representing the whole church—around the world and throughout time. Marshall’s musical interests include: developing new techniques for handbells, finding new ways of incorporating handbells in electronic music, and developing improvisational techniques centered around musical and physical gestures. Marshall is a pianist, hornist, and tenor who has continued to perform in chamber and large ensemble settings. In Arkansas, he has played horn in the Arkansas Winds and a local horn choir, Horn Force. While in Montana, Marshall played horn in the Flathead Valley Community Band as well as occasionally with the Glacier Symphony. He was also the tenor section leader for the Glacier Chorale from 2021-2023. Marshall earned Doctor of Music and Master of Music degrees in composition from Florida State University and the University of South Florida respectively. He also earned a Bachelor of Music Education degree from the College of Wooster. Marshall was a finalist in the orchestral division of the American Prize in Composition in 2021 and the choral and vocal chamber divisions in 2023 and 2025. His work has been described as a “carefully orchestrated sonic inner landscape.” Marshall’s work has appeared on the Ablaze Records compilations Orchestral Masters Vol. 8 and Electronic Masters Vol. 9. His works have been featured as part of the Impulse New Music Festival, Boston New Music Initiative’s Quarantune Snacks series, Oregon Bach Festival Composer’s Symposium, the Cortona Sessions for New Music, the Washington State University Electroacoustic Mini-Fest, and several regional Society of Composers, Inc. conferences.

About the lesson

My approach will differ depending on your interests and goals, but I will do my best to prepare you for ways in which theory and aural skills will lessen the amount of time spent practicing and improve your sightreading. In composition lessons, I will help you to begin to look at multiple approaches to composing and generating musical material and help you to learn how to listen to and talk about works of the 20th and 21st centuries.
