Description
Mr. Morrell grew up in Portland, living close to Jefferson High School, which he would later attend. His father worked as a machinist and cab driver while his mother stayed home, parenting her three children full time. Morrell began trumpet at an early age, setting himself into a lineage firmly embossed in brass – his brother, father, grandfather and great grandfather were all trumpet players. This musical thread wove deep, leading Morrell to pursue a music degree at Lewis & Clark, paying his tuition with money earned in music jobs played in town. His education was interrupted by a two-year term in the U.S. Marine Reserve in which he played in the Marine Corps Band before being deployed to Korea. He returned, completed his degree and launched into a lifetime of music education, serving as a director for numerous high school bands. Morrell still loves and teaches music today.
