Dr Michael Spacie writes:
“Rachel Perkins, a Biomedical Scientist, gained a distinction in her ARSM piano performance diploma taken in November 2019 under my tuition. In 2020 and due to Covid, Rachel decided she would like to continue her lessons remotely online which gave rise to an opportunity for me to advise and teach further on matters of technique and interpretation in piano music and the performance of music of various composers and periods of musical history which continue to develop musical understanding and knowledge for Rachel going forward in her musical pathway.
Rachel resumed her lessons face-to-face in February 2023, and still continues in 2025 to progress in pianistic and musical understanding.”
