INTRODUCING…

The Ultimate Music Theory Certification Elite Educator Program - Guaranteed To Make Teaching Theory Easy, Effective & Profitable!

Learn how you can become an Ultimate Music Theory Certified Teacher Today.

You already know studying music without theory is like studying English without grammar…

But finding the right music theory curriculum to keep you (and your students) motivated isn’t easy.

Let’s face it—there are thousands of music journals, workshops, & teaching philosophies out there already…

It feels impossible to keep abreast of all the information & choose the right materials for every single aspect of your teaching.

All you want is for your students (AND their parents) to commit to music lessons with the same passion they commit to *gasp* sports…
 

You try to make theory relevant to your students, so they can see how it applies to their music… and it’s not just another course or homework assignment!

But you often end up feeling like you’re pushing a piano through a brick wall... 

Heck, by the end of a looong week, you’re left feeling overwhelmed, alone & completely discouraged!

 

 

 

You might even end up asking yourself the same questions repeatedly, like:

  • How do I motivate my over-scheduled, busy students to practice (...after all, music is a daily activity!)
  • How can I teach music theory so that children are engaged in learning?
  • How can I keep up with all the newest music theory methods & supplements?
  • How do I show the parents the importance of investing in music (not just sports)?
  • How can get my students to register for 2 lessons per week (theory AND piano, etc.)?
  • How can I help my students reach their full musical potential before giving up?
  • How can I attract more students and maintain a full teaching studio, so I’m not scrambling for money?
 

 

 

Sound familiar?

It’s not like you’re lazy, unfocused, or unmotivated. Quite the opposite—

You’re teaching nights and weekends, trying your best to accommodate your students’ schedules—while juggling your own time with your family...

 

And don’t even get me started on scheduling!

Scheduling is an ongoing issue—with all the cancellations & special requests to move days… it feels like you’ve lost control over your ENTIRE calendar.

And how are you supposed to get more students—and more money—if your time is maxed out already?

On “bad” days, you might ask yourself…

What am I missing? What’s THE secret ingredient other “successful” piano teachers have that I don’t? Why do I feel stuck?

We’ll answer those questions in a minute...
 

 

 

Burnout is a real thing—and it could kill your *passion* for teaching music AND your income…

Maybe you entered into this business because you felt a strong desire to share what you love with your students (...while also getting paid for it).

Maybe you’re eager to grow your music studio (so you don’t have to worry about taking on a second job to make ends meet)...

And hey, wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy a relaxing meal with your family every once in a while?!?

(Pssst! A ton of talented piano teachers struggle with the same challenges you face.

But, once you’ve mastered music theory and you’ve got access to the strategies, tricks & tools you need to teach it in a fun AND effective way, things fall into place, FAST.)

HERE’S THE ONE QUESTION I’M ASKED REPEATEDLY...

So, why do I NEED to master music theory?

THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE...

50% of children quit piano lessons within the first 2-3 years.

These kids quit because they find it too hard. And they find it too hard because they don’t understand the language of music...

You wouldn’t hand your 5-year-old kid Shakespeare without first teaching them grammar and the ebbs and flows of poetry, right?

The same goes for teaching children music...

You wouldn’t ask your 5-year-old student to pick up a book and read chords from the top down without first teaching them music theory.

The study of music theory can help students gain a deeper understanding of music composition & performance, so they understand the WHY behind all of it…

And guess what?!? The principles that govern the study and production of music are the SAME that govern those of math & science.

So, when you help your students understand music theory, you’re helping them understand how the world around them works. Win-win!

Music theory ALSO has the power to free your mind from self doubts...

So you can master the art of teaching music theory classes in an easy-to-understand way that delights your students (because they’ll learn faster) AND increases your income (we’ll talk about this in a minute).

MUSIC THEORY is the MISSING INGREDIENT you need to build a thriving studio—even if you’ve struggled in the past.  

This is how you not only transform your life, but you also transform the lives of your students, forever.

Basic, Intermediate & Advanced Rudiments Music Theory (plus an exam at the end of each level—we’ll talk about the certification process below!)

 

What if someone could show you how to get paid more to teach music theory in a FUN, effective way?

 

Hi, I’m Glory! The Founder, CEO, Author & “Party Queen” behind The Ultimate Music Theory Program…

I’m ALSO the eccentric music teacher who loves peanut butter with my coffee (don’t judge!) and dreams of driving my someday “candy apple red mustang convertible” from Vancouver down the coast to LA… top down all the way!

I started teaching at the age of 16 because I wanted to earn enough money to buy a car…

I ended up with 35 students ranging from young children to adults. I loved seeing the absolute joy in their eyes when they learned a new piece of music.

Turns out you can make more money teaching music than working at the local Dairy Queen. (I was the only one out of my friends with a car!)

 

But, I STILL wasn't comfortable about knowing how to teach music theory!

Every time I attempted to teach theory, I walked away frustrated, confused, embarrassed, and I had NO IDEA where to find the answers.

As I sat in on my young daughter Sherry's theory class, the language was “technical” and not related to the music itself. There were no games and no laughter – just this feeling of get this theory done and DON’T YOU DARE have fun!

Up to this point in my piano teaching studio, I didn’t have the confidence to even teach theory.

I even sent students to a different teacher for their theory lessons, because I loved my students and wanted the best possible education for them.

I knew that when it came to theory, I couldn’t give them the best.

I finally learned theory when a young student begged me to teach her theory.

Her exact words… “Miss Glory, I know you don’t know anything about theory, but if you are willing to learn, I would love it if you would teach me.” 

And so my journey began...  little did I know this conversation would one day become the beginning of the Ultimate Music Theory Certification Course.

 

Here’s what shocked Elizabeth about the UMT Certification Course...

“I signed up for the course to learn how to market theory classes for more income… but I was in SHOCK. I re-learned some theory in a new way, I learned lots of theory I never knew, and I finally understood some concepts that have caused me grief for years. This course was ABOVE and BEYOND anything I expected. It took me HIGHER and FURTHER than I expected to go." 
-Elizabeth Freiter, UMTC, Private Piano & Theory Teacher

 

SO, I WENT ALL IN.

I wanted to learn and teach concepts in the simplest ways, to help young students RETAIN information and have fun learning (so they wouldn’t think it was boring like I did as a kid!).

After years of study, (ARCT Associate Royal Conservatory of Music Teacher's Diploma), research & development, I created my own program and realized there are many teachers, just like me, that could use help teaching music theory and growing their teaching businesses.

 

AND TODAY?

Professionally, I’ve partnered with Shelagh McKibbon-U'Ren as we've written over 50 books, created 10 online music courses, UMT Flashcards App and built a business that helps teachers just like you and me grow profitable teaching businesses on our own terms because…

I BELIEVE ALL MUSIC TEACHERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE & TEACH WITH PASSION.

Listen to Becky Landreth UMTC, NCTM share her Success Story!

 

How can I get certified as a music theory teacher, you ask?

At the end of each section of this program (Basic, Intermediate, & Advanced) you’ll find a written Teacher’s Exam (don’t panic—I promise you, you’ll know waaay more than you need to know!).

Once you have completed the Teacher’s Basic Music Theory Exam, you submit it via email to our UMT Examiner Shelagh McKibbon-U'Ren for marking.

And then you continue with the Intermediate Music Theory sessions, followed by the Advanced Music Theory sessions.

What’s the criteria for the Certification?

When all 3 written Ultimate Music Theory Certification Course Teachers’ Exams are completed and marked (with a pass of 80%—*First Class Honors*)...

You’ll receive the designation of U.M.T.C. and we’ll send you the official Ultimate Music Theory Certification Teachers’ Certificate (hang that baby on the wall—you earned it!).

Worried about the exams?

This will make you feel better—remember how I said you need to score above 80% to pass the exam?

 

GET THIS...

Every single one of our UMT Certified Teachers has completed the course with an average mark of over 90% on the exams!

Not bad, eh?

 

How is this course different from ALL THE OTHER music theory courses out there?

 

First, this is the only pedagogical teacher training designed to help you:

♫  Learn Easily In Your Own Home At Your Own Tempo

♫  Save Years Of Time In One Step-by-Step Online Course

♫  Get Certified With The UMTC Professional Development Program 

Second, when you join me inside, you’ll discover WHY students need to be taught in their own learning style, HOW to teach music theory effectively & WHAT you can do to increase your income teaching group theory classes (so you can make more money without adding extra hours to your schedule!).

WARNING: What I’m about to say might BLOW YOUR MIND...

You could make an extra $4K/month
teaching group theory classes...

 

QUICK MATH:

If you teach 4 group theory club classes a week ($250/class), you could make an extra $4K a month (and you’d only work 4 hours a week!). Crazy, right?

If you’re not sure how to package group music theory classes (I call them ‘theory club classes’)...

You’ll find out how to structure these UMT Club Classes and sell them to your students (and their parents!), so it’s a no-brainer decision.

Increase Your Confidence and Income with The UMT Certification Course…

 
 

Listen to LiPing Hudson UMTC share her Success Story!

“I wasn’t very confident in my theory before this course… but now I feel confident, and I love watching my students apply what they’ve learned to prepare for theory examinations.

I now offer three group theory classes (with 15 students), which has provided additional income. I began with one group theory class and now I have three!

I would even say that this course has helped me increase my income by MORE than $1K/month, solely from teaching group theory classes.  

The best part?

One of my music theory students (who’s also my piano student and a rising 7th grader) auditioned for the Middle School Orchestra and was accepted into Advanced Orchestra because of her solid music theory knowledge.

Teaching music theory classes has helped her and many of my other students excel on the RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music) Examinations.” ~ LiPing Hudson UMTC
