About Me

My name is Henry and I just moved to RVA from Columbia Missouri where I studied classical guitar with the acclaimed Anthony Glise. Before this, I was part of a local band that played several shows in and around St. Louis and taught students ranging in age from 5-65. My musical taste and background are extremely diverse and I'm comfortable teaching any style and any age group. Whether you're interested in how to play chords, scales, learn by ear, improvise or learn your favorite songs note for note, we will go at you pace and study what you want to learn!

Henry L. has over 11 years of music experience in the Midlothian area.

Henry L. is proficient in and teaches Guitar Lessons, Bass Guitar Lessons, Drum Lessons, Keyboard and Piano Lessons .


What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner -

Although Henry has just begun teaching piano/keys in the last few years, his students are loving the mix of improv, note reading, and theory training they can expect from each lesson. With the piano/keys, just about anything is possible. Join Henry for exciting and exploratory lessons in which you discover your own musical voice and build your musical vocabulary... if you're looking to learn out of a book the whole time, you're in the wrong place.


What to expect in my Bass Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

Henry currently plays bass for a local band and has played bass in several bands before this. He's taught several students their favorite songs, 'best practices' for full band scenarios, and theory. As always, you and Henry will work as a team to uncover the best learning path for you and your goals.


What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Henry's been teaching guitar for over 11 years. Expect an open platform in which anything is possible. Open to all skill levels, genres, and goals. Whatever you'd like to learn, Henry's lessons are the best place for it.


What to expect in my Drum Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

Playing the drums is a blast so learning how to play them should be just as fun. Henry has taught drums for just shy of 5 years and has found that students benefit most when they are open to the journey of learning bit-by-bit; sharpening their skills through practice and inspiration. Expect to share some of your favorite artists or songs and we will go from there. NOTE: Henry teaches through an *electric drum kit*! Rim shots and double kick stroke technique will not be possible... unless your up for pantomime...

Review:

Professor Anthony Glise's Recommendation

1. How long have you known the candidate and in what capacity? -•• Henry was my private classical guitar student at the Univ. of Missouri for 3+ years. He was also a participant at "Red Socks and the Guitar," an international music festival that I direct in Chartres, France. Henry was also highly active and a performer with the MU Guitar Ensemble, and one of the original founders of the extracurricular MU Guitar Society at the university. 2.      Why did employment end?  if applicable -••NA 3.      Would you rehire? If not, why not? -•• While not a "rehire," I would be thrilled to have more students with Henry's innate musical skills, amicable personality, and sincere commitment to his goals—encased in his tremendous ability to achieve those goals. 4.      The applicant has applied to work as a Music Instructor. Do you see this as an appropriate position for this applicant? Why or why not? -•• Absolutely. As well as his work with me during his university musical course studies, Henry's calm, rational personality, would be a welcome addition to any corporate or community music program and his interpersonal skills from fellow students up to administrative superiors is astounding. 5.      How would you characterize this applicant's performance on the job? -•• Henry is highly organized, rational, friendly, and has tremendous leadership skills. 6.      Please describe her/his work habits such as: follows directions, flexible, reliable, demonstrated initiative, creative, accepted responsibility, good written/verbal skills? -•• Henry's ability to adhere to directions and carry out assignments is exceptional. He has tremendous self-drive while espousing a rare combination of organization with adaptability. His verbal and written skills insofar as I can judge from his verbal/written course assignments are exceptional; beyond what I have typically seen in most graduate students. 7.      Is there any other information you would like to share that will help us assess his/her capabilities/suitability for the position? -•• While hardly a normal job application citation, Henry literally saved my life. While picking up Henry and several other participants for the "Red Socks" Festivalat the Brussels Belgium airport, we were on the train headed back to France. I had recently had a heart attack and unfortunately unbeknownst to anyone, the US doctors had over-presecibed several blood thinners which resulted in a cerebral hematoma—a "blood leak" around the brain. Roughly 10 minutes after our train departed from Brussels, that blood pooling caused me to go into a life-threatening seizure. On the train—in the midst of Brussels rush-hour traffic all without speaking a word of French or Flemish—Henry had the forsight to pull the emergency brake, stop the train, call an ambulance, and with not an iota of exageration, Henry saved my life. The neuro surgeon in Brussels confirmed that if the brain bleed had continued it would have crushed my left temporal lobe, which would have resulted in a coma and near immediate death. The following 5 days as I was still in the hospital, the festival faculty, Henry, and a few other festival participants assumed responsible for organizing those first days of the event, maintining the schedule, while assuring the other festival participants and the local festival sponsors that the situation was under control. Again, while this is hardly the sort of recommendation I have ever written, I cannot stress enough the level of responsibility, maturity, and support that Henry showed during this extreme event and of course his musical skills are exceptional. Few people are thrown into this type of scenario and fewer still could have managed the situation in such a mature, rational, and supportive manner. You will rarely find another young man with greater inate leadership and interpersonal relationship skills, combined with his astute musical prowess and a "take action" personaity. I recommend Mr. without the slightest hesitation and with the utmost support. Please feel to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns. Sincerely, Prof. Anthony GLISE Henry Liscio wrote on Thu, 03 Nov 2022

    The Bennett Family

    "Hello, Henry- I ask the boys every Tuesday at dinner time how you are and how lessons went. And I always receive positive chatter from them. We so appreciate you keeping up virtual lessons, but we miss seeing you in person! It is a testament to you that you are soliciting feedback. You are a wonderful music teacher, role model and influence on the boys, and our entire family is happy to know you. I apologize for not responding sooner. I  spoke to the boys about your request, and they were eager to provide comments and quotes for your use please see below. Michael and I will also be sure to write some current reviews online. Let us know where to post them for you. Finally, we are delighted to host you and your cousin and any friends for a driveway mini recital/concert. We will invite neighbors and or will be great exposure for you plus a welcome bright spot during this pandemic. Please let us know what evening works and we will “advertise” it and plan for a fun evening. Thanks again for all you do! Best regards, Nicole Quotes from the boys edit/use as you like: “I have a lot of fun taking lessons from Henry. There is nothing he could do better. I like lessons with Henry because I learn to play some of my favorite songs he lets me pick what I want to learn and how to play ukulele, which makes me happy. It's fun to learn new stuff and how to play better.” — Liem Bennett-Nguyen, Age 11 ukulele player for four years, two years with Henry “Henry explains things really well. He is super patient and is a terrific teacher, whether you are a beginner or advanced.” “Henry let's me learn music that I like and also suggests interesting music that helps me learn new technical skills on my guitar.” — Griffin Bennett-Nguyen, Age 14 guitar player for nine years, two years with Henry Henry Liscio wrote on Thu, 03 Nov 2022

      The Scharpf Family

      Hi! So sorry for the delay in getting back to you!  Ryan absolutely loves his lessons and says you are "the best teacher ever".   I like that you let him pick songs he enjoys, but also push him to try harder things at the same time.  For example, having him learn Classical Gas is something he would never have known to ask about. I would be happy to post your flyer or contact information on our neighborhood site.   Are you looking to stay virtual or do some in person? Thanks, Denay Henry Liscio wrote on Thu, 03 Nov 2022

        Drum Lessons Review

        Hi Henry! Your lessons have been awesome and jack loves having you as his teacher! I've included a review below! We have been so lucky to have Henry as our son's drum teacher. He goes out of his way to connect with students, finding out what they like and using that to engage them in learning. Our son has been a reluctant music learner in the past, but looks forward to his lesson with Henry every week!-Colleen Henry Liscio wrote on Thu, 03 Nov 2022
