Foundations of Mariachi Education: Materials, Methods, and Resources,
the first book of its kind, is a comprehensive handbook on teaching
mariachi in secondary school to music students of all levels. Beginning
with how to start a mariachi program, each chapter addresses a specific
topic in mariachi education, including choosing appropriate repertoire,
preparing for performances, and teaching each mariachi
instrument-including voice. Each instrument chapter includes practical
advice on care of the instrument, tuning, posture, fingerings,
technique, and the role of the instrument within the mariachi ensemble.
With dozens of music exercises distributed throughout the chapters, this
resource shows you how to build your students' technical skills using
mariachi repertoire so your students truly shine onstage. You'll also
learn how to develop a district-wide program and use mariachi to support
literacy goals. Whether you have experience teaching mariachi music or
not, this book will guide you through each step of starting or
developing a program, from changing an instrument string to buying
trajes for your students to executing mariachi mOnicos. This resource is
a must-have for every music educator looking for ways to bring new
energy to the music classroom.
