A Deep Dive Interview with Glory St. Germain, Founder/CEO of Ultimate Music Theory: Exploring a Decade of Innovative Music Education and Visionary Guidance
The story begins with Glory St. Germain, the passionate music theorist, establishing Ultimate Music Theory on December 1, 2008. With a burning desire to simplify music theory and make it an unforgettable experience, she took the plunge, teaming up with Shelagh McKibbon-U'Ren to pen more than sixty books on music theory education.
This duo didn't just stop there, they embarked on a journey across North America in search of music teachers eager to dive deeper into the art of teaching music theory. Ultimate Music Theory was born out of the need to respond to this thirst, leading to the creation of the Ultimate Music Theory Certification Course for Teachers, with Shelagh serving as the UMTC Course Examiner.
Glory's personal quest for knowledge led her to achieve her Associate of the Royal Conservatory of Music (ARCT) Music Teacher Certification, and further honing her skills as a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner. Integrating the power of NLP into the UMT Certification Course allowed it to reach resources globally through an innovative online format.
Empowering music educators is the heart of what Ultimate Music Theory does. Leading with a focus on personal and professional growth, it goes beyond teaching music, instead striving to transform educators into leaders. With the UMT Membership, musicians and educators become part of a supportive community, with Glory inviting them to explore their diverse offerings at UltimateMusicTeachers.com and UltimateMusicTheory.com.
Ultimate Music Theory tackles global transformation in the way music is taught and learned. According to Glory, "Music Matters" deeply and the vision for Ultimate Music Theory embodies that conviction. Their mission extends beyond traditional music education, aiming to elevate educators to entrepreneurs, architects of dreams, and catalysts for change.
The Ultimate Music Theory Teachers Community fosters a dynamic network committed to ongoing professional development, sharing knowledge, and continuous learning through the UMTC Elite Educator Coaching Program. One educator experienced remarkable growth by joining the UMT Membership, doubling her student base and tripling her income. This success story is a testament to the real-world effectiveness of Ultimate Music Theory's approach.
Glory's journey to success was filled with peaks and valleys, moving from crafting effective music theory workbooks to nurturing relationships with fellow educators, musicians, and course creators. In 2021, she achieved the milestone of being a 5-time international best-selling author of the Power of WHY Musicians Anthology Book Series.
