Welcome
A word from our founder
My name is Curt Buell and I'd like to welcome you to The Buell Institute of Music's online home. If you're looking to improve your musicianship on the piano or organ, or would like to expand your knowledge of music theory or production, you've come to the right place!
​
I've been playing piano for over 23 years and have been teaching for 13. My goal is to enable musicians of all ages and backgrounds to soar to greater musical heights than they ever imagined, just as I did. Having a wonderful, knowledgable teacher made all the difference for me, and it's my desire to be that teacher for you. Below you will find all the info you need to get started learning. Let's make some music!
