About Brent

Brent is a musician, educator, and founder & owner of Henderson Academy of Music.

He was classically trained on the piano starting at age 6, and started playing rock, jazz, and other contemporary music as a teenager. He has a wide variety of performance experience, having played in rock bands, jazz trios, wedding ceremonies, and most importantly…for his mom on her birthday.

Brent has been teaching piano since the age of 15 and has taught hundreds of students and thousands of lessons over the years. He also teaches electronic music production, specializing in Ableton Live.

Piano lessons with Brent combine a solid musical foundation with repertoire of the student’s choice- whether that be classical, jazz, pop, rock, or anything else. Brent believes that when a student is having fun and playing music they enjoy, they will practice more, progress faster, and stick with lessons longer.

Brent teaches all ages and skill levels- beginning to advanced. He has taught students as young as age 3, and generally recommends children start lessons as young as age 4 or 5- however- it’s never too late to start!

In addition to running his private piano studio, Brent is the founder and owner of Henderson Academy of Music, a music lessons company that provides in-home music lessons (for all instruments) to students throughout the Greater Seattle Area.

You can find Brent’s music (both electronic music and acoustic piano music), as well as both short- and long-form piano lessons on Youtube.

Brent’s electronic music can be found on Spotify.

And you can find his daily piano content (lessons and short performances) on Tiktok.

In addition to teaching piano and making music, Brent enjoys reading (mostly nonfiction- history, science, biographies, fitness stuff), staying active (gym, running, and biking are the current favorites), and of course spending time with friends and family.
