Mariachi formation
Mariachi education is developing as more and more schools include mariachi in order to raise cultural awareness and provide opportunities for students to learn about and preserve cultural traditions. In school districts across the country, Mariachi joins traditional offerings such as orchestra and band.
¡Viva Mariachi! offers a unique opportunity for our community to learn how these programs thrive in other parts of the United States; how they contribute to the academic success of students; and all while enriching the cultural life and musical traditions of their institutions and surrounding communities. Mariachi WorkshopsThis Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon, Mariachi students and music directors will conduct workshops and offer master classes on Mariachi music and history. Bring your instrument and join us to share your skills, talent and enthusiasm for music.
