About Bel

• About me
Music x Mental Health Advocate

• Follow my instagram (concealed information) to learn more about music x mental health approaches to learning and teaching. You will find other students' stories and their progress. Please direct message me there if you're interested!

• I'm 32 years old and have been playing piano since I was 8.
I had strict and serious lessons as a child so I would love to teach and instill more kindness and a self-compassionate approach to learning and teaching.

• I'm a creative designer by day and a music dreamer by night. I enjoy playing piano at annual recitals and have been on the judging panel at Janet's Music school. I love seeing kids have fun and adults light up to discover a new passion. It fulfills me being able to be a facilitator for creative expression and connection.

• I am classically trained with AMEB 8th grade syllabus. I have been teaching from home and traveling to students' homes for 10 years. I'm experienced with teaching children from ages 4 and up to working adults that have been wanting to learn for fun. I have also taught at Rockdale public school afterschool private lessons for several years preparing children for ABRSM piano and theory exams or teenagers/ adults who just want to play for leisure.

• Some of my favourite pieces to learn and teach range from Chopin to movie/game music scores such as Ghibli or Final Fantasy.

About the lesson

Taught on Kawai upright piano/ Roland 140r

• Philosophy:
Music is an expression of your soul.
Piano is therapy for your mental health.

• My teaching style is flexible and adjusted to fit your needs. I'm always open to have a chat and would love passionate students to learn with me as I want it to be an enjoyable experience. If you're wondering if you can show off to your loved ones straight away, don't worry we will play your favourite songs!

• I'm patient, focused, and firm. I have a background in design so I always try to find creative strategies to teach according to the students personality and learning style.

• First 30min lesson is always free to see if we're a good fit and also an assessment to see what level you are at so we can design a program to fit you. I can teach music theory and we can integrate it into the lesson. If you prefer not to read music notes then we can learn a different way!

• I have created a community of liked minded students on Instagram (concealed information) to showcase each student's progress and their musical journey. It combines music and mental health awareness which is a kind approach to learning and teaching. It's a fun and collaborative environment to feel a sense of peace and relaxation. Please check it out and message me for free directly on IG.

• A rough guideline to a lesson structure (but not limited to):

~ Beginners lesson
• 5-10mins warm-up exercises with some foundational theory
•15-20mins learning songs
•2-5min to wrap up and debrief practice plans to achieve the following lesson

~ Intermediate to Advanced
• 10min warm-up exercises
• 40min songs
• 10 min debrief of lesson and practice plan for the following lesson

~ I will provide practice notes, diagrams, and recorded video/audio examples of challenging sections that need further attention. I am also open to communicating via online platforms if you have questions about your lessons.

Perfect! Bel is a very understanding, patient, and simply an amazing piano teacher since day one!

As an adult beginner, playing piano - or even sitting infront of the piano - for the first time was intimidating.

Bel, however, made my first time fun and less overwhelming! She is very flexible, encouraging and adapted so well with my learning style (and knows what is the best approach for it).

Our sessions are always packed with lots of knowledge, insights, and laugher, and I NEVER felt silly or intimidated at all.

I’ve learnt so much from Bel in just a span of few weeks, and although I know I’ve still got a long way to go, I know I’ll be just fine cause Bel is always there to guide me through it. I always find myself looking forward to our weekly lessons! :)

Thank you for being so inspiring, Bel. So lucky to call you my teacher

Patrick is a passionate and keen student. He is a fast learner even though he had doubts. I am confident he will be able to read music and play anything he wants if he keeps up the hard work. It is a delight to teach Patrick.

Being an adult student, I wasn't sure what to expect when I first approached Bel.

She was very patient with me and I enjoyed my time there. I look forward to learning more off her.

Thanks Bel!

Bel is caring and supportive as a piano teacher. She keeps me motivated as an adult student and knows exactly what I need to work on to achieve my goals. She has always made me feel comfortable and is consistently communicative and flexible with lessons. If you're considering lessons, you won't find a better piano teacher. Thanks Bel

Very patient and dedicated, Bel has always had a great passion for music! Classically trained yet believes in loving the music you play, so you can trust she's teaching from a good place. A great teacher since she is observant, considerate and can adapt to your learning style from having many years of experience teaching both young kids and adults. You'll leave your lessons learning more than you intended!
