Episode #240: Glory St.Germain

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: Music theory = language. Glory frames theory as the universal language of rhythm, articulation, tempo, melody, and harmony—essential whether you’re a vocalist, guitarist, producer, or choir director. Resources that actually teach. UltimateMusicTheory.com offers free resources, aligned videos by level, and the Ultimate Music Theory App that maps directly to the workbooks. Books are available on Amazon and BookDepository.com worldwide. Certification that scales income. The UMTC Certification Course and Elite Educator Program show teachers how to confidently teach theory in all three modalities (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and grow to six figures—often by shifting from 1:1 to group classes (Glory went from $50/hr to $270/hr). NLP in the studio. As an NLP practitioner, Glory trains teachers to communicate through physiology, tonality, and words, and to boost retention by engaging learners to see, say, and write (note-taking increases learning by 30–40%). Flow & execution. Her “ships-books” routine: pump-up music (to start), low-volume focus tracks (to stay), visual goal boards (book covers on the wall), and a mantra—goal + accountability + execution strategy—to turn desire into results.
