In addition to being an Associate of the Royal Academy, Miss McKenzie is a Member of the Royal Society of Musicians, and also an Associate of the Philharmonic Society.RL = ; "The Minin", May 1894. Marian McKenzie is one of the best vocalists the Royal Academy of Music has ever produced, and her record of successes there is a long one. The Parepa-Rosa Scholarship, Llewellyn-Thomas Gold Medal and bronze and silver medals all fell to her lot; and on her leaving the Academy she was created an Associate, a distinction awarded only to students of any special merit. She still, however, continued to study with Signor Randegger and, later, with her sister-in-law, so well known on the concert platform, Miss Anna Williams, In fact, up to the present time she is still as earnest and devoted a student as ever; a fact worthy of imitation by many who leave off hard study with their first paid engagements. In 1927 she died.
