Isabel's education began with Gymboree and preschool in the Bay Area.

She played in school bands - first on saxophone in 4th grade, then on flute from 5th to 9th grades.

An early love of singing and performing led Isabel to participate in local community theater.

Her special gifts became evident at age 5, when she sang a solo in her first show, "Santa's Frosty Follies" in Sun City.
