Recipient of numerous scholarships and distinctions, she was elected Fellow of Trinity College and Christ’s College Cambridge and taught at the University of Cambridge, Liverpool University and the École Normale Supérieure, Paris.

During 2009-11 she appeared as soloist in Paris, Buenos Aires, and she was Artist in Residence in February 2010 at Interlochen Arts Academy. 

A limited number of private lessons take place in the calm and concentrated atmosphere of a music studio in the heart of Paris. Aiming to develop the potential in each individual, Perrey's students have gained places and scholarships at Oberlin, The Royal Academy London, CNSM Lyon, l'ENS and Cambridge among other institutions and entered competitions including the concours international de piano de l'Ile de France, concours Steinway or the Concours des Grands Amateurs de Piano. However, competition is here viewed neither as a goal nor as an end in itself.
