Stevens High School – Mariachi III Intermediate #6357

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course is designed for students to build upon the mariachi fundamentals learned previously and to develop further performance techniques used in mariachi literature. Students will increase technical, musical, and expressive elements needed to perform more challenging literature in a variety of mariachi styles. Guitar, vihuela, guitarron, trumpet, violin, and vocal students rehearse collaboratively with increased public performances to be included. Trumpet, violin, and vocal students should be concurrently enrolled in their band, choir, or orchestra course in order to develop strong pedagogical skills required to engage in the mariachi performance curriculum.  Some sectional rehearsal time is required outside the school day. The history of mariachi and connections to Folkloric Music are explored more extensively. Enrollment in this course constitutes agreement to fulfill all curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular requirements.
