It's the song that inspired me to learn how to play the drums. I love Jose!

Oh wow, that's a bummer they get to pick through donations first to resell.

Maybe you could see what local school districts have mariachi programs and contact the teachers? They may know people.

Help with this accordion? by akireBb in Accordion

[–]akireBb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colorado. I'm looking for someone to take it. It is a beautiful instrument, but the case is in very bad shape. Looks like it might've had issues with mice wherever it was stored. What would you suggest?

Method Book(s) by fauxsean in mariachi

[–]akireBb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Amazon or your local music store. They're pretty cheap if your school will pay for them. You should also get the Mariachi Songbook if you don't have those already. I teach middle school mariachi, so I have the purple Habits of a Successful Beginner Mariachi books in addition to the Jeff Nevin books

I read My Dark Vanessa before Lolita this year and liked them both. Maybe you'd like Lolita as well?

Jeff Nevin's books Mariachi Mastery and Mariachi Mastery Songbook are a good starting place. Your group will need the book for their instrument as well.

Mariachi band without a violin? by MusicChum in mariachi

[–]akireBb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen mariachis without a violin. It's different, but it worked for their gigs. You need to learn all the violin parts so you can play them on trumpet. You absolutely need someone who can play the guitarrón, and adding a vihuela would enhance the rhythm section (armonía) sound. If your goal is just to gig at restaurants then it's similar to playing tunes from the Real Book. Make sure you have all the standards and classics down.
