About Henry
Website - hbentley.org
- I currently have full availability through this agency and am accepting new students.
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.

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.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
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
