“Gia’s always pushing to do more, and to keep growing and learning, which I believe actually makes her a very special type of teacher. Gia’s passion for teaching music is evident by looking back on the last two decades of her hard work and accomplishments. If it’s excellence you are trying to achieve, search no further. Martinelli Music will no doubt guide you to a path to harnessing your musical power and ability.”
— Dave Brandwein - Founder, Frontman, Producer of international touring band Turkuaz.
“It was my experience as a teacher and mentor where i had the pleasure of meeting Gia and watching her handle a leadership role with organization, joy, and kindness. Helping both students and teachers navigate the learning process together with structure, patience, and focus on the growth of each student.
Creating music is rewarding no doubt, but to use your fire to light another, to inspire others to create, this is the true gift.”
— Mike Schleibaum, Darkest Hour
“her ability to communicate with other musicians and clearly articulate her vision makes for a productive, fun, and memorable musical environment. Gia’s musicianship, personality, and drive help foster environments that allow others to flourish. The accomplishments of students, the abilities of her instructors, and the excitement of the musicians that work with her is indicative of a selflessness that anyone should strive for.”
Composer, Professional Touring Musician, Band Director
I can’t say enough about her talent as a musician and her dedication to her students. It seems to me that the proudest tradition you can take part in, being a talented musician, is instilling that talent in others and awakening innate musical ability, and Gia lives and breathes that.
