The method that Mr. Nieto has created not only allows the students to be set up for success but also the instructor. The method flows in a way that the student will build and reinforce fundamental skills while learning the style and technique that is exclusive to the mariachi genre. The interaction between instructor and student is crucial in developing first sounds and building proper technique.

Habits of a Successful Beginner Mariachi Músico is a great beginner method. Mr. Nieto pays careful attention to beginner fundamentals, first-year tendencies, and student set-up. I really appreciate how he uses visual cues and guides on each instrument that reinforce what each lesson is introducing. Each activity is carefully thought out and sequenced to set up the student for success. I especially like how he has a translation for everything in the book so students can learn the English and Spanish terms. I am beyond excited to see this method being used by beginners in all mariachi programs.
