Some of the group members of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan are now offering online private lessons. On a phone call with trumpet player Agustin Sandoval, he disclosed the following:
“I’m offering 1 hour lessons to trumpet players of any level. We can cover anything from fundamentals to specific repertoire. It is up to the student and where they need help in. The class will take place through Facebook or instagram video call” (Translated from Spanish to English by Leon Camacho). Each member of the group offers different services. Jonathan Palomar is giving 45 minute lessons on guitar or voice. His guitar lessons are for any level player but strictly on mariachi guitar, whereas his voice lessons are more general and not only on mariachi.
With the exception of Jonathan Palomar, who spent part of his life living in the United States, private lessons offered by the other members of Mariachi Vargas are in spanish, so keep that in mind before contacting them.
The following Mariachi Vargas members are offering their services throughout the quarantine:
