Parent & Student Testimonials
“Many teachers coach, Mr. Bell inspires! Listening to him rehearse with my son is like story telling through instrumental music. Since studying with Mr. Bell, my son is now 1st chair at his school, has been 1st chair in All-State for 2 consecutive years, and has been a member of the Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony since the 9th grade. It is a blessing to have Mr. Bell as my son’s saxophone teacher. “

“My Son got only 70s in his first All State Alto Saxophone audition. After taking Saxophone lessons with Mr. Bell for only 8 months, his All State score increased to 93! He has since gone on to be accepted by AWYS(Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony) and the Georgia All State Band after continually taking lessons with Mr. Bell. Mr. Bell is an excellent music tutor!”

from music educators
“Mr. Bell has been teaching my students privately for over 8 years. My students have earned seats in District Honor Bands and the Georgia All State Band. He is one of the best private teachers in the metro area. Not only is he an awesome musician and teacher, he forms a lasting relationship with his students and encourages them to be successful in all aspects of their life. I highly recommend Mr. Bell to students interested in private lessons.”
—Dr. Gregory Denson-Director of Bands. (E. Cobb Middle School)
“Jacques Bell has been such a blessing for my woodwind section! He has established a great relationship with my students and they love to see him come...and hate to see him leave! His talent is UNMATCHED! When he is working with my students, I know they are getting the highest level of information. My only hope is that he teaches long enough to have a hand in my daughter’s musical journey!”
—Jennifer Theisen-Director of Bands (Bennetts Mill Middle School)
“Jacques Bell is a masterful teacher that I have known as a friend and colleague for over 20 years. Jacques has consistently provided dynamic and high quality instruction to the students in my band program. He has an innate ability to motivate students to not only reach their true potential, but exceed it well beyond anyone's imagination. He is firm in his expectations and truly has the best interest of the students at all times.”
