Mark is a hugely popular performer and we are very fortunate to have him as our amazing Piano teacher and has been teaching at Bentley for a number of years. His lessons remain virtual currently but will be resuming face-to-face lessons later in the term. Most students are Year 3 upwards as pupils need to be reading to start.
