School of Music professor recognized with Lifetime Achievement Award

On May 5, during the Liberty University School of Music’s degree presentation ceremony at Commencement, professor Don Marsh was presented a Lifetime Achievement Award for his continued excellence in training the school’s students to become Champions for Christ.

Marsh has served at Liberty for 14 years and teaches commercial music.

Along with his 13 Dove Award nominations, three Emmy Awards, and Gold Record, Marsh has arranged, orchestrated, and produced over 300 full albums of choral music, solo projects, and various works for publishing companies such as Hal Leonard, Shawnee Press, Word Music, Brentwood/Benson/Sony Publishing, and Gaither Music. He has had several national publications, with over 3,500 individual arrangements. Marsh has worked with accomplished artists such as Bill Gaither, Doug Oldham, Sandi Patti and Larnelle Harris (More Than Wonderful), Steve Green, the World Help Children’s Choir, and Todd Agnew.

Dean Dr. Stephen Müller presented the award. He said Marsh’s goal of sharing with students the top-tier knowledge he has honed over decades spent in the professional music industry is invaluable to the school.

“One of my favorite things about Don Marsh is the grace and humility with which he carries himself,” Müller said. “I’m glad Don continues to 
share from the deep well of his experience, talent, and passion for music and the Kingdom.”
