“The standards and work ethic instilled in me as a member of Dr. Marchiando's studio at UNM have allowed me to thrive as a musician in the United States Army and beyond. John's consummate musicianship, beautiful sound, and meticulous attention to detail will forever influence my playing and teaching. His passion for his students and the trumpet are truly contagious and a continuous source of inspiration.”
