Beginner Level
**As a Florida FES-UA/EO and Step Up PEP eligible music elective teacher, my courses are reimbursable for those seeking to utilize their funds for a Florida state approved music elective.** This 16 week course has 20 scaffolded lessons that cover the majority of the core national music standards for elementary students within the United States. The format and materials used are geared towards the 2nd-4th grade levels, but would be beneficial to any student who would like to learn how to read music notes, sing better, identify various types instruments, differentiate music styles, and learn basic music vocabulary. If you student does not yet read, the course would be more difficult to follow. At the start of each unit there will be a video introduction by me and instructions about following the written lessons which will be posted. I will be facilitating their music education through systematically posting materials for them to view and work with. Each lesson post will provide links to either educational or practice videos where students will review the music concept taught, or they will be able to clap, dance, or sing along with some songs. Additionally, vocabulary sheets, and other worksheets created by me will be available for download to help the student master the content. At the end of each unit, (not lesson) there will be an optional, but recommended assignment that students will be able to receive feedback from. The class culminates with a final music project, and two options will be given that the student can choose from. One will be performance oriented and the other a written assignment. During the full 16 weeks, if a parent or student ever would like more material to practice, or more information about something covered, ( ie the orchestra, rhythm, or singing solfeggi etc.), I can gladly answer personal inquires and share other free resources.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to identify music notes on the grand staff, various instruments, voice parts, historic composers, and different genres of music at the completion of this course.

Supply List
Students will need at minimum: Internet, paper, something to write or draw with. A few of the recommended assignments would require printing worksheets for homework. However, I always give a second option or way students can write out a practice assignment if they do not have access to a printer.

Florida Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Bachelor's Degree in Music from Mount Vernon Nazarene University
Welcome,
I am excited to be back on Outschool and am giving voice lessons for the fall and winter 2024-2025 season!
About Me:
I am a certified voice and music teacher with a bachelor's degree in music who has been singing (professionally) for nearly 25 years, and teaching music and voice for over 15 years.
It all started at the age of 13 when I began training in the Bel Canto method with Louise Savage, the founder of the Fine Arts Association school in Willoughby, Ohio. I studied with her weekly for five full years, during which I recorded 3 CDs and began to sing publicly for several professional and regional events, choirs, and programs. This was the beginning of my musical career.
Since that time, I have continued diverse vocal training with multiple amazing vocal coaches, have had the opportunity to sing in several professional choirs, musical theater productions, and special events in multiple states across the US and have earned a bachelor’s degree in music, with a focus in voice.
In addition to holding a degree music, I have also received the Voice Teacher Certification from New York Vocal Coaching after training 50 hours with renowned founder Justin Stoney.
I am a Florida music teacher and have been teaching music and voice both publicly and privately for over 15 years in addition to performing at a professional level within the state. I have been asked to sing the National Anthem 3 times at the Tampa Bay Ray's stadium for a MLB game, have been in productions at both Manatee and Sarasota Players Theaters, performed with the Children's Theater of Michigan, was a member of Sarasota's professional Choral Artists for 10 concerts, and in 2021 sang in several Epcot's Candlelight Processional shows at Walt Disney World.
In addition to those solo endeavors, my husband and I, known as "The Martin Duo" have sung for restaurants, theaters, weddings, and exclusive community yacht and country club events. We are most well-known for our Musical Theater and Show-tune tribute shows alongside of being popular Christmas Carolers throughout the state. We also work as voice-over artists for Worldbook where we can be heard voicing several characters for children's graphic novel audiobooks.
Currently I also work as a voice instructor at one of Nord Angelia's international school campuses. As a voice instructor I can teach various styles of music and how to manipulate the body to produce differing sounds needed for each genre. However, I specialize in coaching full voice use for Musical Theater, Jazz, Classical Cross-over, and Classical styles.
Musically, I am able to teach courses for any age, from those just starting out on their musical understanding of pitch and beat while also challenging older students to analyze musical themes through a variety of ways. I also teach music theory and sight-reading/ ear-training as well.
