I incorporate a fun, practical and systemic approach that will get any student up and running in a matter of days. I am passionate about teaching and strive hard to see growth in my students. My favorite aspect of teaching music is the ability to see how students grow in their journey of learning to play the instrument and how their understanding of music blossoms with time. I am happy to transfer this knowledge to anyone who is willing and ready

Dear Parents & Students, I am a piano/guitar teacher who loves and enjoys teaching people of all ages interested in learning music as whole. I believe that patience, persistance, collaboration, empathy, adaptability, and good communication are one of the qualities that make a nurturing environment for the student to grow and nourish their abilities and capacities to learn the instrument and music iteself. Moreover, I strongly believe that theory, music history, technique, ear traning, interpretation, and analysis are the main components for practicing an instrument, and to deeply understand music and as consequence build a strong relationshi

It is great pleasure to share my experience here. Ms Bella is my son - Eric's first piano teacher. Eric took piano lessons with Bella beginning September 2013 and he stayed with Ms. Bella ever since until she left Syracuse in December 2016. Ms Bella is good at teaching her students according to their levels of knowledge and ability. She not only taught the basic skills and emphasizing on scales and fingering, but she also focused on the dynamics, on how to bring color to the music piece. She was also able to impart her enthusiasm and love of playing the piano onto Eric. Rather than working directly from a piano lesson book, she would select and play difference pieces of music to allow Eric to choose what he wants to learn. She also encouraged Eric to find out more about the composer of the music he played. By doing so, Eric became more interested in practicing and playing piano. Ms. Bella is friendly and patient. She would praise Eric's accomplishments and acknowledge each newly learned measure of music. She was very proud of each student and was evident during recitals that were held twice a year. Ms. Bella plays an important role in fostering Eric's interest in music. It also helped him to learn other music instrument with the greatest of ease. I respect Ms. Bella for many of her qualities. I highly recommend her as a piano teacher and I am envious of her future students who can experience her passion and love of music.
