My name is Akiya Maston, author & educator for over 17 years. Quick question: does your child know all of the names and locations of states, and countries? Not many people do! I know first hand how schools are not teaching Geography with the same rigor as they once were. Music to Mastery fills in that gap in a fun way!
There are tons of Geography songs out there, so what sets Music to Mastery apart from all the others? Well, these songs are not in alpha order or jump around a map just to rhyme. This series teaches names AND locations in a fun way. Check out our complimentary USA song and judge for yourself!: https://bit.ly/3oVFvaF

This is my 17th year as an educator with an Educational Specialist degree (E.d.S). I spent 10 years as a high school teacher, 4 years as a middle school Administrator, and 3 years as an elementary school Assistant Principal. I've experienced all levels of education, and enjoyed what each opportunity has taught me. I'm a wife, and a mom of a middle schooler, a high schooler, and a college student. So, from a parent's perspective, I too, have seen every aspect of education! I recently wrote a book, The Wonder Years of Middle School, available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3GGqM9v, because I saw a need to help middle school students and parents maximize success during those years. My passion is helping students and families, so I will do what I can to help them reach their potential!
As a first year teacher, I was surprised by how little my students knew Geography and they were in high school! So, I created songs to help them learn in a fun way. Everyday at the start of class, we sang Geography songs to learn the maps. One day, a student turned and asked me, "Mrs. Maston, why aren't you sharing these songs with people
As a first year teacher, I was surprised by how little my students knew Geography and they were in high school! So, I created songs to help them learn in a fun way. Everyday at the start of class, we sang Geography songs to learn the maps. One day, a student turned and asked me, "Mrs. Maston, why aren't you sharing these songs with people outside of your class, like parents and teachers?" Good question! But life was busy, and I didn't have the time. A few weeks after his inciteful question, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. After that challenging experience, I decided to put my goals into action and launch my passion! Years of work went into creating Music to Mastery which is tailored for elementary students. So, here it is, time for me to share my passion with the world!
Music to Mastery teaches the names and locations of the 10 Canadian Provinces, 50 states of America, and nearly 200 nations of the world through 11 short songs. Each song follows the flow of the map. I used to tell my students, "If you know the song, you'll know the map!" The Activity Workbook contains fun facts, song lyrics, completed ma
Music to Mastery teaches the names and locations of the 10 Canadian Provinces, 50 states of America, and nearly 200 nations of the world through 11 short songs. Each song follows the flow of the map. I used to tell my students, "If you know the song, you'll know the map!" The Activity Workbook contains fun facts, song lyrics, completed maps, and blank maps for practice. My goal is to take children on a musical adventure while they enjoy the process of learning.
My hope is for this Geography series to inspire young people to explore this incredible world we live in which could add so much richness to their life experiences.
My students went from knowing only a few states to quickly learning the whole world. One student didn't know where Florida was, and we live in Florida! The average grade on the final World Map Exam was an "A". Students who I taught 17 years ago tell me how they still remember all the songs and maps! This works, that's why I'm sharing it with the world.
This complimentary USA song is catchy and fun, PLUS, children (and adults too) will quickly retain all the states and locations. The following link contains the complimentary download: https://bit.ly/3oVFvaF
