The City of San Fernando, in partnership with several local institutions, brings an unprecedented project of professional mentorship, musical enrichment, and cultural expression to its community. With the collaborated efforts of the Los Angeles Unified School District, Ballet Folklorico Ollin, the California State University, Northridge Department of Chicano Studies, and La Voz del Mariachi, San Fernando welcomes the inspiration of world-renowned mariachi pioneer, Nati Cano, and his Mariachi Los Camperos to present the Mariachi Master Apprentice Program. This program unites world-class mariachi masters with community youth who are ready to advance their skills as mariachi musicians. Weekly sessions provide professional instrumental technique development, vocal coaching, music theory education, and performance etiquette, while enhancing repertoire that emphasizes the traditional and popular mariachi music forms, including sones, rancheras, huapangos, boleros, and polkas. Training focuses on the core of musical instruments traditional to the mariachi ensemble: guitarrón, vihuela, guitar, harp, violin, and trumpet. Through the MMAP, the City
of San Fernando aims to carry-on the mariachi tradition by targeting
promising youth that strive for musical excellence.
The program is designed to transcend the basics, shaping ambitious youth
that have the potential to become masters in their own right. MMAP’s
vision is that these apprentices may then serve to further develop this
valuable musical tradition in the San Fernando community and beyond. |
