The woodwind specialist
“Mr. Bell is the definition of a renaissance man. His level of proficiency on multiple instruments is amazing to say the least. We have been working with Mr. Bell in private and group instruction settings for the past 4 years and he was also working with our feeder middle school before that. We have seen exponential growth in our Woodwind program with various honors and recognitions. He is a dynamic educator and our program is indebted to him.”
— Adam Brooks Director of Bands (North Atlanta High)
