Episode #241: Glory St.Germain Part 2

Glory St. Germain, Ultimate Music Theory — Turning Music Teachers into Six-Figure Educators

Glory St. Germain is the Founder/CEO of Ultimate Music Theory, a TEDx speaker, and the international bestselling author of 50+ (now ~60) music theory books. She’s on a mission to make music theory simple, teachable, and profitable—equipping musicians with a universal language and empowering teachers to build real businesses. This jam-packed conversation (Part 1 of 2) dives into her playbook: pedagogy, NLP, scalable group teaching, and focus habits that ship books—20 in one year.

Top 5 Takeaways from the Episode:

  • Mindset moves results: Shift from a fixed mindset (“Nervous Nelly”) to a growth identity (“Glory the Gladiator”) to lead your actions and outcomes.

  • Visualize, then step into it: Use lifeline/placement exercises (inspired by NLP and books like Money Magic) to feel your future state—then return to the present with clarity.

  • Own your trajectory: No one hands you success; take the next step, learn the lesson, and keep going—especially as you level up your circle and your coaches.

  • Health powers performance: Glory’s journey from 200+ lbs to marathon finisher started by creating a “new normal”—small, consistent actions that compound.

  • Programs for teachers & adults: From the UMTC Elite Educator Program to the Complete Music Theory Course for adult learners, there’s a clear path to skill and confidence.
