Hartland High School

Brad — Band Director

As Isabella’s band director and someone who has watched her grow as both a musician and a leader within the Hartland Bands, I can say with complete confidence that she is an exceptional young educator. Isabella brings remarkable talent to everything she does - whether on flute, voice, or piano - but it’s her spirit that truly sets her apart.

She is endlessly positive, eager to learn, and even more eager to share her musical knowledge with others. Her optimism is contagious; she has a natural ability to elevate the people around her, creating an encouraging and joyful environment wherever she goes. As a student leader, she leads with kindness, maturity, and a genuine desire to help others succeed.

Anyone who studies with Isabella will not only grow as a musician, but will also feel supported, inspired, and valued. She is exactly the kind of teacher who makes a lasting impact.

Joe McFaddin — Central Worship Pastor

Isabella Gembel is a beam of light straight from the heavens. At a young age she possesses the gifting and anointing of a wise old soul. From her brilliant performances on large platforms in front of many fortunate spectators to small intimate settings leading her peers in worship on Sundays - she remains consistently passionate every step of the way. Anyone who would be willing to spend a few minutes with this young woman will walk away with more skill, confidence and instinctual awareness.
