Mariachi Infantil

The Youth Mariachi program, Mariachi Infantil, began in the Fall of 2006. The idea came out of a need for quality Mariachi education for the San Marcos youth. Students study instrumental and vocal techniques and learn Mariachi music from some of the best teachers in the area. 

Age Doesn't Matter

Students are grouped by age and ability into classes with a low student to teacher ratio. Each child will have the chance to get special attention
and any additional help they may need.
Eligibility
All students are welcome.  We accept experienced as well as beginning students.   

• Students in grades K – 2, will learn to play violin only.

Music Education

The Youth Mariachi program (Mariachi Infantil) upholds the highest commitment to excellence in music teaching and performance for the San Marcos and surrounding area youth.
As part of this mission, Mariachi Infantil fosters the performance and study of Mariachi Music according to the highest professional standards. 
For our teachers, the most important aspect is to teach basic-advanced musical concepts through mariachi music.
Concepts that can be applied to all musical genres as our students grow as musicians.
Our program also seeks to educate our students and the surrounding communities about the rich world of Latin American music and culture.
