About Marti

I sang for 16 years as a professional chorister and soloist with the world famous Los Angeles Master Chorale and Los Angeles Music Center Opera, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, just to name a few, performing with world class singers, conductors, and instrumentalists from around the globe.

* I have performed in and can teach anyone to sing in any style including classical, Broadway, opera, jazz, pop, and choral

* I have maintained a private voice studio for 30 years (since 1990)

* I have taught voice on the University level at four different universities: BYU-Provo, USU, BYU-Idaho, & FSU

* I am a Member of NATS (National Association for Teachers of Singing) and support and uphold the standards expected from one affiliated with the organization.

My passion is helping you accomplish what you want to do and get you where you want to go. I LOVE teaching and laughing and giggling with my students through every lesson. I am intensely interested in how the voice works and presents itself in each new student.

I look forward to working with you and helping you become the singer you’ve always wanted to be!

A friend of mine, knowing that I was performing regularly with the most prestigious musical organizations in Los Angeles, asked if I would give her lessons. That's how it all started... :D

Experience

Professional Chorister & Soloist

Aug 1986 - Jul 2001Los Angeles Master Chorale & Music Center Opera

I sang for 16 years as a professional chorister and soloist in the larger Southern California area with the world famous Los Angeles Master Chorale and Los Angeles Music Center Opera, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, just to name a few, performing with world class singers, conductors, and instrumentalists from around the globe.

I have maintained a private studio since 1990 (28 years) and have taught voice on the University level at four different universities: BYU-Provo, Utah State Univ., BYU-Idaho, & Florida State Univ.

I am a Member of NATS (National Association for Teachers of Singing) and support and uphold the standards expected from one affiliated with the organization.

Education

Doctor of Music: Vocal Performance ABD
Florida State University Aug 2007 - May 2010

I completed all the course work for my doctoral degree, but for various personal and professional reasons, I decided not to continue. Even though I do not have the paper that says I earned my doctorate, I still acquired all the knowledge and information from those classes and performances to use for my private students and THAT'S what matters to me.

Masters of Music: Vocal Performance Major / Music Education MinorAug 2000 - Dec 2003Brigham Young University in Provo, UT

Bachelors of Music: Vocal PerformanceSep 1985 - Jun 1990
California State Univ. Los Angeles

About the lesson

We talk first to set the student at ease with me and to get to know each other a little bit. It also helps me to discover what the student's experience has been already. We sing a little bit too so I can hear the student's voice and assess where we need to begin and then we learn the basic exercises that I use to warm up the voice and teach correct principles of good vocal technique.

I have worked with male and female voice types, in a variety of styles (excepting hard rock or rap), and all levels of expertise (even professionals). I love working with very accomplished vocal musicians, but I find it particularly gratifying to help those who think (because they have been told all their lives) that they can't sing to learn to match pitch and carry a tune.

You should be looking for someone with lots of performing experience (preferably the professional kind where they were hired and paid for their singing), knowledge of the anatomical vocal mechanism (preferably one who has at least a Master's Degree or more in vocal performance or education), and one who has an ear for and an ability to diagnose vocal problems or the regular impediments to good singing. Most importantly, one who agrees with and subscribes to the standards of integrity upheld by the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS).

I just sang a lovely duet a couple of weeks ago with my husband of a song that we loved and I arranged. It was beautiful!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
1. What do I want out of this relationship? What do I want to be able to do with the skills I will acquire in these lessons?

2. Does this teacher have the experience and expertise to be able to help me sing better in the style that I desire to sing?

3. Will this teacher be able to train me as a musician as well as a singer? (Not all people care about this one, but it does come with the territory... :)

4. Do I like this teacher as a person? Do we get along?

The progress I have made working with Marti is astounding, all thanks to Marti's technique, experience, and patience. I went from common folk songs sung by children my first month to working on an operatic aria from Mozart in less than two years. I would never have imagined the range I am reaching at this time; again, all thanks to warm-ups, drills, and challenging pieces Marti and I tackle together. She is patient, compassionate, fun, and a wealth of knowledge. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, Marti has something to teach you. If you're hesitant, wait no more! Singing is so therapeutic and Marti makes it well worth your while.

Marti’s vast experience, education and training make her nearly magical when it comes to knowing what you are and aren’t doing with your voice. She is patient, clever, and generally wise. I have recommended her many times and will continue to do so. She gave me the control over my voice that I needed and didn’t think was possible! I am so grateful to her for that and much more.

I have taken lessons from Marti for several years. Over that time, the quality of my singing voice improved exponentially. I could alway sing, but with Marti’s help my voice became richer, fuller and more confident.
My musical knowledge has also grown.
Sight reading is a lot easier than it use to be.
I know the different techniques for different genres and how to implement them. This knowledge has opened me up to a broader range of singing. Giving me choices I never knew I could have.
I have really enjoyed my time with the Castle Music Studio. Marti not only became my teacher but my friend too. Thanks Marti! Love you!

Mrs. Marti is a fantastic teacher. She dedicated months and months to preparing both me and my daughter for live performance. She makes learning fun, and her dedication to our development was very apparent. I don't know about you, but when I'm selecting a vocal coach, I prefer going with someone who has decades of experience and multiple degrees in music. Mrs. Marti is all of that and more!

My pricing depends on the length of lesson and how you choose to pay. If you pay by the lesson, a single half-hour lesson is $20, 3/4-hr lesson is $30, and an hour-long lesson is $40. However, if you choose to pay monthly rather than by the lesson (recommended), the half-hour monthly payment is $70/mo, the 3/4-hr is $100, and the 1-hour lessons are $130/mo, payment for a minimum of 4 weekly lessons/mo and payment is due at the 1st lesson of each month. It covers however many lessons that will fall within each month on the designated lesson day. For example, during some months there are 5 Wednesdays during the month, but in another, there may be only 4. The $130 1-hour lesson fee is the same for both months. The 5th lesson is often a bonus for the student. Sometimes, however, depending on circumstances, I (or you) may take that fifth lesson off or we may use it as a make-up lesson for one missed earlier in the month.
