Her father, Franz Alten, was a well-known conductor, and her mother, Maria Alten, was a pianist. Bella grew up in a musical environment and started playing the piano at a very young age. Bella's talent was evident from an early age, and she received her first piano lessons from her mother. She quickly progressed and started performing in public at the age of six. Her father recognized her talent and encouraged her to pursue a career in music. Bella continued her studies at the Vienna Conservatory, where she studied under the guidance of renowned pianists such as Emil von Sauer and Richard Robert. Bella's talent and hard work paid off, and she won several awards and accolades during her time at the conservatory. She won the prestigious Beethoven Prize in 1924 and the Mozart Prize in 1925.
