Ms. Galene G. Martinez
Introduction
I am the Technology Instructor at William Mulholland Middle School. The 2011-2012 school year will be my first year at MMS, as well as my first in teaching computers, and am very excited to start a new chapter of my teaching career at MMS. I have been teaching with LAUSD since 1996, starting with Traveling Elementary Orchestra for 3 years, then moving to Robert Fulton Middle School in 1999 where I was for 5 years, until I moved to Northridge Academy High School in 2004 when the school opened. I then went to El Camino Real High School, before going to MMS. I have a BA in Music from UC Berkeley, and a Single Subject Professional Clear Credential in Music with a CLAD certificate & supplemental authorization in Computer Concepts and Applications from CSU Northridge. I finished all the coursework for the MA in Music Education at CSUN.
Educational Philosophy
No matter if a student chooses to become a musician or technician as a lifetime career, or just a consumer of music & technology during their lifetime, the basic fundamentals and foundations of music & technology should be taught to and experienced by all students in school, as music & technology are an integral part of human nature and development. My job is to further a young person’s knowledge, not only of music & technology, but also of all the arts & education in order to help make the student into a more informed and productive person in our society.
