Noon Rotary raises funds for Mexican music program at CHS
The Rotary Club of Carpinteria Noon has secured a $5,000 grant to bring a Mexican music program to Carpinteria High School, with the goal of creating a Mexican music ensemble. The program will use the funds to purchase guitarrón and vihuela Mexican guitars, for two-hour music lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays. “Regional Mexican Music is significantly important, as it gives some students a musical link to their heritage and invites other students from other ethnicities and cultures to use this program as a vehicle to research more about Mexican-American culture,” Juan Zaragoza, the CHS music teacher, said in a press release. The grant came from the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation. The program will first have to recruit students and assess which type of regional Mexican music students would be interested in, such as norteńo, banda and surreńo.
