How to start mariachi

Posted by Mariachi Beginner on 9/19/2024, 9:50 am

I have a few students that really want to do mariachi. I wouldn't mind helping them, but I have never played it and have no idea where to start. Any advice?

When I was working on my master's degree at TTU, I had a colleague by the name of Rosendo Ramos who is SUPER passionate about mariachi education. I believe he is currently the head director at Lake View HS in San Angelo ISD. He would LOVE to help you start a program!

Excellent, simple answer is to check with directors that have a successful mariachi program. There are many in our state who love to share information. John Niento wrote a comprehensive Beginner Mariachi method book which is excellent!
