Ms. Martin returned to the US in 1993 and established a vocal studio in Laguna Niguel. She was a member of the Voice faculty at CSU Long Beach from 1997- 2005.  She has since become a recognized expert in training young voices and was invited to speak at the NATS National Convention in Houston in 2004. Her high school students have been accepted into voice departments at The Julliard School, Manhattan School of Music, USC, Northwestern, Boston Conservatory and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
