Saxophonist, composer, and educator Marcus Monteiro has released two recordings as a leader (Rapid Transit, and Mm4) and is featured on over two dozen projects as a sideman. He has performed in Panama, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and throughout the United States, and has collaborated with a wide range of artists including the Rebirth Brass Band, Big Nazo, Jim Robitaille, John Harrison, Steve Langone, Sarah Brooks, and Fernando Huergo, among others.
Monteiro received his degree in music (B.M.) from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth where he studied with Santi Debriano, Rick Britto, and Royal Hartigan. After graduating, Monteiro’s own teaching led him to develop original teaching materials for sight-reading, ear training, and other topics for a wide range of students.
