Life’s a song at any age
Music has the power to shape character and broaden perspectives.
You’re never too young or too old for music in your life.
That’s the reason why we have programmes for every age group.
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.
Open to all singers, dancers, actors, and instrumentalists from 14 years to adult.
WEST SIDE STORY
We have extended the deadline to the end of this month, so now it's up to you to make THAT choice and sign up to get involved in one of the greatest shows ever written!
Since 2018, over 300 performers have participated in our international biennial collaborations. West Side Story is our fourth, and largest, production to date.
You can expect three intensive and fun weeks in which you will be guided in every step, bar, click, riff, and rumble by a team of great coaches!
Together with The Culture Exchange, Orkestra RTM (Orkestra Radio Televisyen Malaysia), and #sriwilayahballet you will collaborate in one the greatest shows ever written!
