About Marcus
Marcus Marianthi
TEACHER & FACILITY OPERATIONS
Marcus Marianthi is a passionate educator who brings a lifetime of musical experience to the studio. He started playing the drum set as a child in his Uncle Don’s basement and hasn’t stopped since! Marcus currently specializes in harmonica, drum set, cajon, shuitar, and percussion.
Marcus has a diverse professional background in City Planning, all-ages transportation education, and curriculum development.
Through his local advocacy work, he sees the irrevocable importance of community—a value he brings into each music lesson and group event at Campfire Music Collective.
Marcus’ strong rhythmic foundation started when he played in all the ensembles he could in high school and visited the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival every year.
Marcus has performed a variety of genres in bands around the great Northwest, including Boise-based Solomon’s Hollow.
Fun fact: Marcus is also an accomplished bicycle mechanic. Did you know that you can “true” the spokes on a bike wheel by plucking them like a harp?
