Paul Marshall

Paul Marshall was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1979. He took up saxophone, violin, viola, bass and guitar during his school years and began composing at sixteen, before studying saxophone performance at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music with James Nightingale and Mark Walton. For some fifteen years he ran the Sindel-Marshall Music Studio in Sydney with his wife, Louisa, relocating to Armidale in 2016 to become Head of Winds at the New England Conservatorium of Music, where he teaches and conducts across the woodwind and brass family. Drawing on influences from Bach and Bozza to Brubeck, Mingus and Hendrix, Marshall writes for students and professionals alike, and many of his works appear in AMEB syllabuses for saxophone, clarinet and cello. His orchestral music has been performed by the Beecroft and Armidale Symphony orchestras.
