Maestro Jose Hernandez will provide a Master Class on TECHNIQUE AND STYLISTIC NUANCES IN MARIACHI MUSIC. The class will be an organized presentation and discussion around important stylistic topics focusing on mariachi violin and trumpet, orchestration, notation practices, phrasing, as well as stylistic trends and tendencies. Throughout the session, attendees will be encouraged to participate actively (play as well as Q&A) and explore the various musical styles. This Master Class is being made available for $25 per person and is payable on site.
Jose will also work with each level individually to assist educators in authentic performance practices for each style. |

Willie Acuña, the highly regarded harpist with Mariachi Sol de Mexico, will provide a Master Class on TECHNIQUE AND STYLE IN TEACHING MARIACHI HARP. He will work with one of the local CCSD high school harp students to demonstrate appropriate playing technique.
Willie will also be introducing the new Serrana 34 harp that he has crafted. Five harps will be available for teachers to use Monday through Wednesday. Sign-ups for exploratory class harp for beginners who may be interested will be taken on Monday morning. Teachers in Intermediate and Advanced classes will have the opportunity to take a 75 minute group lesson with Willie on Tuesday and Wednesday. Six (6) harps are available to be sold at a very special workshop price at the end of the week so be sure to visit with West Music about how YOU might be able to take advantage of this pricing! This Master Class is being made available for $25 per person and is payable on site. |

This workshop is definitely worth attending. The Las Vegas Mariachi Program, implemented under the leadership of Marcia Neel, went from zero to one of the best programs in the country. Ten years ago the groups from Las Vegas were solid but quite basic. Today they are among the best in the nation. The Sweetwater School District brought Marcia in for workshops for all the mariachi instructors. I learned a great deal, even after 20 years of teaching mariachi music. Mark Fogelquist
My time at the National Mariachi Educator Workshop changed my life and my view on music education.
