Performance with Mariachi Concentration, Certificate

The School of Music awards the certificate in mariachi performance to students who choose to complete a structured study of mariachi music that includes instrumental/vocal techniques, and historical, stylistic, and pedagogical issues in mariachi music. The certificate will produce highly competent mariachi performers and educators. As mariachi ensembles continue to proliferate in secondary and higher education, the certificate will add value to the degrees of students seeking this concentration. The certificate also fulfills UTRGV’s values as a bi-cultural, bilingual, and biliterate institution, and the mission of the department of music and dance to promote greater appreciation of the cultural heritage of the region. The certificate in mariachi performance is not a substitute for teacher certification.
