Bella Riitano enjoys watching children and adults discover their love of music at the piano. Her strengths lie in Romantic and 20th Century repertoire, but she also enjoys teaching other styles of music. Bella has a particular interest in how piano technique affects tone. She has a gentle personality, which endears her to our students.

Bella has been on staff at HPMS since 2020 but has been part of the HPMS family for over 12 years as a student. She is currently studying a Bachelor of Education and working towards her Associate Diploma in piano. Bella was a finalist in the Outstanding Youth category in the 2020, 2021 & 2022 Blacktown Local Business Awards.

Bella’s favourite piece is Tarantella by Pieczonka. Outside of music studies, Bella enjoys Dancing and playing Netball.
