Isabelle Knowles - Violin, Voice

Isabelle Knowles is a current Masters of Music Student at Samford University studying Vocal performance. She received a B.S. in neuroscience and cognitive science from the University of Arizona where she additionally studied voice. Isabelle started taking violin lessons at the age of 4 and studied violin, competed, played in a pre-professional youth orchestra through high school, and began teaching in college. While her singing journey started in musical theater and choirs, Isabelle has come to love opera and is a studio artist with Opera Birmingham. She also serves as a choral singer for EWTN and Mountain Brook Baptist Church. 

In searching for musical purpose, there is one answer Isabelle comes back to: we were made to worship, and God has given her the route to do so through music and teaching. Her goal is to create a joyful and expressive environment for students while holding high expectations and pushing them toward excellence.
