The true purpose of arts education is not necessarily to create more professional dancers or artists. It’s to create more complete human beings who are critical thinkers, who have curious minds, who can lead productive lives.

Bryce Henderson Stevens

“I spent three months researching possible music coaches before interviewing with Belle. She was at the top of my list in a large part because she is a performing pianist, and a critical listener was what I felt I needed. I could not be more pleased. I studied music under many teachers, including at Indiana University, and can say without reservation that Belle is the finest teacher/coach I have ever worked with. She has brought me to a level of performance beyond what I ever thought possible.”

Aakash S.

“My 12-year old daughter has taken lessons with Belle for around 2 years and my 9-year old for about a year. They both adore her and, what is most unusual, they look forward to their lessons with her. (They never looked forward to their lessons with other instructors.) Belle makes her students really interested in piano and teaches them well while somehow managing to make them enjoy it. She’s a great teacher and also 100% reliable in every way”

Jessica V.

“I have taken piano lessons off and on for 30 years. Belle has taught me lessons and ways to view playing the piano no one else ever had. I was always told I couldn't play by ear. Belle has helped me learn I can play by ear. She is wonderful at discovering your true talent, even if you are unaware of it. I highly recommend her, she is the best piano teacher I have had.”

Baily D.

“Belle is a fantastic teacher! I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as her pupil. You can tell that this is not just a job for her, she truly wants each student to learn to the best of their ability and to realize their true potential. She has the perfect combination of patience and sternness, listens to every question I may have (no matter how silly it may be), and is always pushing me to be the best pianist I can be. I look forward to many more lessons with Belle and I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn piano!”

Lin L.

“We enrolled with Ms. Belle a year ago. Ms. Belle is a knowledgeable, energetic and fun teacher who imparts good techniques, extremely professional and responsive. She knows how to let kids play piano in a professional way. Mr. Belle is our second piano teacher and my daughter has been improving dramatically during the last year. I would certainly recommend Ms. Belle to any one who has always wanted to learn piano.”

Jill T.

"Ms. Belle is an amazing teacher with the right amount of patience and not too strict! Highly recommend!! I am 14 and have been taking lessons for about a year now. I love learning with her. A specific thing that I like about her lessons is that she teaches me technique which is something that is rarely taught to piano students."

Hannah B.

“Belle is an amazing combination of technically-driven and fun! I'm an adult learner, so I want to enjoy what I'm doing while I also develop solid skills. Belle explains technique with amazing detail - she really wants you to get it right. She also gets you laughing and enjoying what you're playing. She's a great teacher!”

Marietta D.

“I have been taking piano lessons with Ms. Belle for about a year now. She is by far the best piano teacher I've had, and I can see how much I have learned in just a year. I am always excited to learn something new every time I go!”

Monica J.

“Ms. Belle is very supportive, helpful, kind and funny. I really enjoy lessons because Ms Belle chooses cool songs and lets me hear them before I learn to play them. As a parent, I highly recommend Ms Belle, she is an incredible pianist and it is amazing to see how much my daughter has learned after only a year of lessons. My daughter absolutely loves piano lessons.”

Odegua I.

“My children have been attending Belle’s Piano Studio for over two years now, and we continue to have a great experience. After so many years into her professional career, Belle still comes across as personable and relatable. I would highly recommend Belle’s Piano Studio to not only help you nurture the budding pianist but also to teach technical skills required for the intermediate learner in your family.”
