About this title

About the Author

Rachel Billings graduated with Honours in music from the University of Manchester in June 2000 followed by an upper division diploma and postgraduate degreee in performance (piano) at the Royal Northern college of Music in 2003. She was born and brought up in Lincolnshire, but moved to Manchester at age 16 after gaining a place at Chetham's music school where she owes much to the teaching of Nigel Pitceathly. Since then, she has received tuition from internationally acclaimed pianists such as Ronan O Hora, Murray McLachlan, Stephen Hough, and Paul Janes. Rachel has a wide experience in the fields of chamber music and solo performance and has performed at various venues throughout the UK. Personal tastes range greatly from Bach to Percy Grainger, Poulenc and Scriabin. The All-In-One series is an accumulation of 5 years work which was originally written for the benefit of Rachel s own private pupils but since then has proved very popular amongst weekly lunchtime theory classes taught at a nearby local Girls' grammar school. Rachel has a love for art which has naturally influenced the All-In-One series (which includes no less than 130 illustrations). Personal favorite artists include Shirley Hughes (author and illustrator) and Salvador Dali.
