Biography
Israel T. Martin started playing the piano at nine years old. His mother woke him up one Saturday morning and said, "Get your clothes together; you are going to private piano lessons." In other words, he had no other choice. However, it was one of the greatest decisions he never had to make. He played the piano throughout his middle school and high school years. He also started playing full-set drums and the snare drum in his high school marching band. He attended Baton Rouge Community College and Full Sail University (Online) and retained a B.S. in Music Production. He also received his engineering certification for AVID Pro Tools DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
As he began playing piano and drums in church, playing for bands around the city of Baton Rouge allowed him to be exposed to different genres and styles of music like RnB, Jazz, Soul, Classical, Funk, and many other styles. His ability to play piano and keybass (playing the bass line on a keyboard) was one of the talents that came from learning the piano. Israel played music with Todd Dulaney, Jor'Dan Armstrong, Kim Burrell, Jessica Reedy, Niyoki, Vashawn Mitchell, Gifted, and countless other notable artists. Music production has become his greatest asset from learning the piano. One of many highlights from Israel's career was the music production of Sunday Best Contestant Tiffany Favorite (Carlin-Laird).
The ability to teach runs in Israel's family. His mother is a teacher who has been teaching for 40-plus years in the field of computer literacy. Israel has learned that having the information and knowledge he has acquired through experience and his musical journey is one of the many ways he excels in his pursuit of teaching music. Music is the most beautiful universal language that has ever been created. It breaks the most significant barriers and can be the most motivating factor in life. Music helps to ascend moments in life that otherwise would be dull. One of the most important ways to help students learn is to "execute the demonstration from end to beginning." Another way to help students learn is using the "Suzuki Piano method." He specifically loves this method for its rhythm enhancements when learning the piano.
