Biography

BIOGRAPHY
Zimbabwean-born professional musician, Corinne Marsh studied the piano at the Royal Academy of Music, London with Piers Lane, Philip Jenkins and Christopher Elton. She has performed regularly in solo recitals, concertos and chamber music ensembles.
Corinne gained Licentiate Diplomas from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music in both piano teaching and performance. On the strength of her achievements, she was awarded the coveted ABRSM scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London, an honour as this scholarship is only awarded once every two years to a ... musician from any African country, excluding South Africa. Whilst at the Academy, Corinne studied piano performance with Piers Lane, Christopher Elton, Philip Jenkins and Ruth Harte, as well as oboe with Nigel Shore and Sue Bohling. She later graduated with two LRAM diplomas in piano and oboe teaching, as well as gaining the Professional Piano Performance Certificate with Honours.
Corinne is now in demand working as a multi-instrumental soloist and entertainer on cruise ships and on land in festivals and at weddings and parties. She plays the piano, oboe, cor anglais and soprano and tenor saxophones in a variety of music styles which include popular classical favourites, music from films and shows, and jazz standards.
She also performs regularly in solo recitals, concertos, chamber music ensembles and as an accompanist of both instrumentalists and singers both nationally and internationally.
Corinne has played oboe and Cor Anglais in the Newbury Symphony Orchestra as well as the Symphony Orchestra of All Souls, Langham Place. With her musical interests expanding to include music in the traditional jazz idiom, she plays tenor and soprano saxophones and is taking her show, “Ebony, Ivory and a Touch of Bronze” to a number of venues around the UK and on board cruise lines.
Corinne has also enjoyed a successful teaching career as Head of Keyboard at Downe House School where she worked for eleven years. Prior to this, she taught piano and oboe in a number of schools in Knightsbridge and Holland Park, London.
Corinne was also an examiner for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music for 17 years, a position which saw her traveling around the United Kingdom and Internationally.
Her other interests include photography, long distance cycling, triathlon, cookery and gardening.

Corinne Marsh - Other Speciality Act - Swadlincote, East Midlands Event Location: London Event Type: Piano CD Recording 30th May 2018

Pianist, Corinne Marsh presents such an attractive range of music - so many favourites - all beautifully executed. Bravo to your sound engineer at the Old Granary..... it's a true skill placing microphones in just perfect positions and balancing them so well: so as to create that lovely tone of yours that I have been enjoying so. Not too closely recorded (dry) nor too distantly either (wet). Perfect, undistorted tone. ...Thankful to hear this terrific recording of your piano playing. All captured here most successfully.
