Biography

Zimbabwean-born pianist, Corinne Marsh, received her early musical training in Harare at the Zimbabwe College of Music, studying piano and oboe with Jeanette Micklem and the late Neil Chapman. During her studies she won numerous awards and scholarships including the Young Musician of the Year when she played Grieg’s Piano Concerto with the Leningrad Chamber and Harare City Orchestras. Corinne also took part in several masterclasses with artistes such as Leslie Howard, Mikhail Voskresensky, Liz Wolff and Liliana Maffiotte.

Later 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.
