COURSES, ENSEMBLES & PROGRAMMES
Students are spoilt for choices at BMA - this is what music education is about: getting people excited to make and enjoy music - highly recommended!
Bentley Music Academy is a very adult student-friendly place. Their "performance first" motto means the music-making is always enjoyable; thank you BMA for making my musical experience magical!
The newly conceived production of the Gilbert and Sullivan classic, The Mikado, was a world first bringing together over 100 participants. Thank you BMA and Kevin Field for hosting this innovative theatre project with such success!
Bentley Music Academy is an unique oasis for quality music education in Malaysia - be part of it!
Everyone is kind and helpful at BMA, inspiring and helping each other to reach greater heights. The BMA teachers make learning easy to understand, and fun!
We chose BMA for our child as it provides a wide range of music lessons led by motivated teachers and regular opportunities for the students to perform; and all this in very good facilities.
Apart from the individual violin lessons, we appreciate the many performance opportunities Bentley offers through its concerts, both in an individual and group settings.
