His father was his first violin teacher at a young age of four, and he would make his first public performance circa 1852. Two years later, the renowned Italian violinist Teresa Milanollo recommended and introduced Henry to Hubert Léonard who accepted him to his violin studio at Brussels Conservatory where Hubert took the place of Charles de Beriot. Mr. Schradieck stayed at the school until 1859, after-which he left for Leipzig. His instructor for two years was the very important pedagogue, composer, and editor Ferdinand David. This let to him being appointed the soloist to concerts conducted by organist/composer Carl Martin Reinthaler at Bremen Cathedral.
