About Henry
Website - hbentley.org
I've played violin professionally on stage and in the studio in multiple genres.
I pursue my teaching and performing schedule alongside my other consultancy work.
• Based in Newport Pagnell studio near Milton Keynes
• London studio location pending (online lessons available)
Before booking lessons, we’ll arrange a short 10 minute video call to discuss any questions and make sure we’re a good fit. Lessons can then be scheduled weekly or fortnightly.
I offer a FREE 30 minute no obligation consultation lesson, to help you decide if you want to continue lessons with myself.
Member of the Musicians Union with Public Liability Insurance, and DBS certificate held.

Students
I offer music lessons for students aged 7 and up (including adults!). I teach violin at all levels, as well as beginner to advanced piano and music theory. Lessons are catered to what you want to explore e.g. classical, jazz, folk, pop etc. We can work towards ABRSM exams, ensemble music, covers of your favourite music or even auditions.
Whether you want to pursue a professional career as a Violinist, simply want to play the Violin/Piano for fun, or even just work on reading music and music theory, I'm happy to work flexibly towards your goals.
My teaching philosophy:
I believe that true enjoyment comes from improving. I do my best to make my students feel like they're progressing each week. My lessons are typically well-structured, offering accountability, and I can provide practice plans after lessons when needed. I like to keep things straightforward because it's all too easy to make teaching violin or piano more complicated than it needs to be. I incorporate both traditional resources and digital tools such as apps and videos into my teaching. Consistently forward-thinking with an in-depth working knowledge of all leading teaching programmes.

I have had a few violin lessons with Henry and have found him to be a really supportive, patient, and helpful teacher. He explains techniques clearly and makes everything easy to understand, which has really helped build my confidence. His lessons are enjoyable, encouraging, and tailored to my pace. I would highly recommend Henry to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive violin teacher.
Such a friendly and welcoming teacher for my two children, and an incredibly talented musician!
Henry has taught my son for over 8 months now and he is enjoying his lessons so much and looks forward to them too, would really recommend Henry
Henry is consistently well-prepared, patient, and able to explain concepts clearly. I’ve seen them adapt their approach depending on the student, which helps keep lessons engaging and productive.
Henry is a highly skilled and knowledgeable teacher who brings a great deal of encouragement to every lesson. He is incredibly patient in answering my son’s questions and excels at tailoring his teaching to meet my son's specific needs and progress
