The Mariachi Youth Academy’s Mission – Is to establish a continuing and comprehensive course of study that will challenge and enhance the student’s ability to read music, master their instruments and enhance stage presence through the art of performing mariachi music.

Our Goal – Is to prepare and encourage academy students to further their musical education. The program instills responsibility, discipline and stresses the advantages of higher education.

The Academy currently has forty-seven students that attend middle and high schools from San Bernardino, Rialto, Fontana, Bloomington, Riverside, Oak Hills, Phelan and Hesperia. Classes are currently being taught for intermediate and advanced students with plans for beginner classes very soon.

With world-class musicians/instructors guiding the program, the Mariachi Youth Academy is poised to be a nationally recognized learning institution for the advancement and promotion of the art of mariachi music and performance.

We invite you to come see and hear these talented students and discover the opportunity to help these youth reach beyond their potential and support their dreams and ambitions through the "Adopt a Mariachi Student" program.

Respectfully,

Oscar Tostado

Director-Mariachi Youth Academy
