All attendees should bring a trumpet or violin with them to the workshop. If you have a guitar, vihuela, or guitarron and can bring that as well, that would be very helpful! There will be instruments available for attendees to use during the workshop sessions.
The Elgin Mariachi Education Workshop is made available by School District U-46, and instruction will be provided by Mariachi Education Consultants based in Clark County, Nevada.
*NOTE: Attendees will receive a hard copy of the course materials on the first day of the workshop.
