BMA Charter
It is the aim & mission of all associated with BMA to provide the best learning environment experienced anywhere in Malaysia; establish a solid foundation for future generations; & thus provide a legacy of quality music learning to which all can access.
As part of that overall vision BMA will host & develop new ensembles & learning programmes to further enhance performance opportunities & develop a school-wide knowledge base for both BMA & non-BMA students, including, & not limited to; choirs, orchestras, bands, ensembles, lectures, workshops & masterclass. The majority of these will meet on a weekly basis, or at least 8 weeks in any one term.
So that BMA can guarantee all that is stated here, all group activities at BMA will necessitate a weekly subscription, with registration & or deposit operating under general BMA Terms & Conditions. Each will start or run when minimum demand is generated. In calculating the potential costs involved, BMA has undertaken extensive research to gain a true perspective relative to the current environment both at a national & school level, as well integrating the expectations of Bentley Music, BMA’s students & its teaching staff.

Management
Nur Anis
BMA Administrator Executive
Always having high interest in arts, Anis had taken up various opportunities to explore not only music, but also painting and photography. Anis strongly believes that exposure to art has various benefits for one’s mind. Not only does it help to reduce stress, it also helps to improve one’s memory as well as sense of empathy, through both viewing and creating.
As an active student both on and off-campus during her university years, Anis was the ex-co for the student committee for Multimedia and Publishing. She was actively involved in various activities including participating in performances and competitions for Zapin (traditional Malay dance). She was also a member for Rakan Muda, which led to her participation in community services and physical recreations during the breaks between her semesters.
Having administrative experience under her belt, Anis is capable of handling general tasks, students’ concerts as well as emceeing. With the belief that music has the power to unite people even to the global scale, she enjoys having a career that revolves around music. This passion drove her to join as an administrative member of Bentley Music Academy, starting February 2019.
