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.

Online and Face to Face
I offer both online and face to face music theory lessons. I use a clear and structured approach to teaching, and for online lessons you only need a laptop or tablet with a webcam.
Students
I teach music theory to students aged 7 and up, including adults. I cover ABRSM Grades 1 to 5, as well as composition, arranging, and the fundamentals of conducting. Lessons are suitable for beginners through to intermediate level.
Lessons are tailored to your goals, whether that is preparing for ABRSM exams, improving your understanding of notation and harmony, or applying theory to your own music.
Whether you are studying to support an instrument, working towards exams, or developing your overall musicianship, I adapt lessons to suit your needs.
My teaching philosophy
I believe that true enjoyment comes from making consistent progress. I structure lessons so students can see clear improvement each week, with accountability and optional practice plans where needed.
I keep teaching direct and practical, avoiding unnecessary complexity. I use a combination of traditional methods and real musical examples, alongside digital tools such as apps and video resources.

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.

Policies
• Discounted lesson packs are available, followed by 30 minute lessons, which tend to work best for consistency and progress.
• All students have access to 2 yearly performance classes.
• Lesson cancellations require at least 24 hours’ notice. With sufficient notice, the lesson can be rescheduled without charge.
• If there's a long period that you can't attend lessons, due to holidays for example, I'm also happy to work around this.
• For face to face lessons, parents of younger students are required to remain present for the full duration of the lesson.
