My History
|
I began my professional career in high school by performing and teaching music and as an All-State musician. After graduating with honors from the Armed Forces School of Music I toured Europe with the Army Band for several years. Later I served with the CT National Guard Band and performed in various parts of the U. S. Europe and Asia. I retired from the military in 2013.
My B.A. in music is from Western CT State University. I also hold an AA from the University of Maryland European Division, BS, MS and post masters from Central CT State University. I am presently very active on the local music scene as a free lance musician and with groups such as; Simply Swing, a 10 piece jazz orchestra, Lost Together, a 5 piece classic rock band, Indian Summer Jazz Trio, The Sue Lopes Quartet, and occasionally as a duo with my cousin Chris Marolda featuring rock, blues, funk and pop. My own group, DenMar Jamz! is versitile and professional, performing jazz, pop, rock blues, funk, motown and more! The featured vocalist is Carol Hahn, a Billboard charting recording artist. I also perform frequently as an accompanist for school and church choirs. |
