Growing up in Port St. Lucie, Florida, Isabella began her musical journey at a young age, initially studying voice before branching out into guitar and piano. Isabella immersed herself in a wide variety of genres—from classical and musical theatre to classic rock and contemporary styles. Her passion for music led to years of dedicated practice and active participation in solo performances, recitals, competitions, school choir, and church ensembles. Isabella remained committed to her musical growth and ultimately chose to pursue a formal education in music at the University of South Florida.
As her skills continued to grow, she deepened her understanding of musical theory and composition and dedicated time to performing and teaching through both academic and professional settings. As a teacher, she instructs voice, piano, guitar, and ukulele to individuals and groups of all ages and various skill levels. Isabella’s teaching style is tailored and studentcentered—focusing not only on technique and theory but also on building confidence, creativity, and a genuine love for music. She believes that music lessons should be both structured and filled with enjoyment, adapting each lesson to match the student's learning pace, personality, and goals. This mindset was further strengthened by her experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where she provided therapeutic support to individuals on the autism spectrum. In that role, she followed structured clinical procedures and individualized behavior plans, developing patience, adaptability, and strong interpersonal skills—all of which seamlessly inform her approach to music instruction. Whether working with neurodiverse students or tailoring lessons to accommodate different learning styles, Isabella creates a welcoming and effective learning environment for every student.
Throughout her time at the University of South Florida, Isabella was both invited and participated in multiple international vocal festivals, competitions, and performances—largely within Italy and locally in Tampa. Through these opportunities, she had the pleasure of performing in various musical theatre and operatic roles such as Carmen (from Carmen), Dorabella (from Così fan tutte), Hélène (from Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812), Maria (from The Sound of Music), and many more. Isabella has since graduated from the University of South Florida with her bachelor's degree in music and psychology. Currently, Isabella is attending Adams State University to obtain her degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and plans to further her education beyond her master’s degree with an educational equivalency in music therapy.
