An important message from our Commander-in Chief:
Dear MUI Students,
I’m writing to remind you of our guest speaker on campus this Tuesday. We are fortunate to have Larry Marchese on campus to speak with our MUI students and any others that wish to join us. Larry currently serves in a managerial role with MakeMusic Inc., a company noted for their Finale music notation program.
As a manager for MakeMusic, Marchese works throughout the southeastern United States, promoting MakeMusic products including the SmartMusic learning program and Finale music notation software. Larry joined Sibelius USA as their second employee in 1998 and fulfilled several roles for the new company in the subsequent nine years. He worked extensively with music educators and district decision-makers in presenting technology solutions and managing the sales process. Prior to joining Sibelius USA Marchese also served as a product manager for Peavey Electronics, one of the largest suppliers of musical instruments and professional sound equipment in the world. In addition to holding other positions in the music industry, Marchese is also a multi-instrumentalist, and continues to be an active music-maker.
Larry will be speaking in three classes on Tuesday, August 26th. All music industry majors are invited and strongly encouraged to attend:
