Mariachi Ensemble
Mariachi Ensemble
(Instructor: Mr. Chen; Semester)
Music of all mariachi genres is explored. Mariachi is a traditional music of Mexican culture, incorporating a rhythm section that comprises guitarron, guitar, and vihuela, a string section (violin, viola, cello, bass, and harp), trumpets, and singers. Mariachi Ensemble at Niwot High School is part of the Orchestra Program. We include information here on our NHS Bands website for students (especially trumpet players) who may be interested in exploring this music genre.

"I feel very proud to be an ambassador of Mexican music. Wherever I go, I will always bring my mariachi. It's what I grew up with. It's what I love the most."
— Alejandro Fernandez
“One string is good enough to a good musician.”
