Mariachi Performance (For Majors), Minor
Program Overview
The School of Music offers a minor in mariachi performance to BM in Music and BM in Performance majors 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 minor will produce highly competent mariachi performers and educators. As mariachi ensembles continue to proliferate in secondary and higher education, the minor will add value to the degrees of music majors. The minor also fulfills UTRGV’s values as a bi-cultural, bilingual, and biliterate institution, and the mission of the school of music to promote greater appreciation of the cultural heritage of the region. This minor is restricted to students enrolled in the BM in Music and BM in Performance majors. The minor in mariachi performance is not a substitute for teacher certification.
