About this event
In meeting room, unless otherwise noted in branch.. In this program, children will learn about the origin of mariachi, the "King of Mariachi" Vicente Fernández, and what makes mariachi unique as a style of music. This program integrates the concept of identifying patterns in our everyday lives and how it evolves to identifying patterns in music through interactive quizzes with the kids. They will then learn standard musical terms and their definitions like melody, bass, and tempo. These terms will be reinforced with games and live examples utilizing mariachi music that will get them up and moving. Overall, a child will walk away with newfound knowledge on the history of mariachi, an important mariachi figure, pattern recognition in real life and in music, as well basic knowledge of musical terms and the roles they play. Plus, they will get to have some fun playing group games that apply their knowledge! This Music Encounters program is presented by DACAMERA.
