Stephen H. says, "I recently had the immense pleasure of embarking on a beginner violin lesson guided by the remarkable Erika Falasco. She introduced the intricacies of holding the bow, positioning the violin, and mastering the art of bowing technique. It was an experience filled with warmth, passion, and unwavering dedication. Erika's love for the violin radiated through her teaching right from the start. Her enthusiasm and genuine care created a welcoming atmosphere that instantly put me at ease, soothing any initial nerves. Her primary goal was clear: to ignite a deep appreciation for the violin while nurturing a solid foundation in technique. Erika began the lesson by meticulously demonstrating the most economical way to hold the bow. With her patient guidance and hands-on approach, I quickly grasped the importance of a relaxed but controlled grip and weight distribution while holding the bow. She effortlessly transitioned to teaching the proper posture and violin positioning, emphasizing how the chin and shoulder provide a solid foundation for comfort and ease of playing. Erika's approach to bowing technique truly captivated me. Through a variety of engaging exercises and drills, she unveiled the secrets of precision, fluidity, and tone. Her clear explanations and meticulous attention to detail deepened my understanding of bow pressure, speed, and precise placement on the strings. Throughout the lesson, Erika's warmth and encouragement shone brightly. She genuinely cared about my progress, patiently answering my questions and providing invaluable insights. Her ability to tailor the lesson to my individual needs while maintaining structure was truly commendable. In just a single session, I witnessed an incredible transformation in my understanding and approach to playing the violin, all thanks to Erika's expertise and passion. I left the lesson feeling motivated, inspired, and brimming with confidence to continue my violin journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Erika's beginner violin lesson to anyone seeking a solid foundation in violin technique. Her unwavering dedication, profound knowledge, and ability to impart her love for music will leave an indelible mark on your musical journey. Embrace the magic of the violin and embark on a musical adventure under Erika's guidance. It's a decision you won't regret!"See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What is a mariachi band?

Mariachi bands are rooted in Mexican culture. Traditional mariachi bands consisted of two or more members playing stringed instruments, wearing regional costumes adapted from the charro (Mexican horseman or cowboy). Modern mariachi bands, which are likely what you’re looking for when searching for a mariachi band for hire, feature at least four members who play stringed instruments (violin, vihuela, bass guitar called guitarron) and one or more trumpets. The costumes have remained the same, but now trumpets are synonymous with mariachi music. Mariachi bands for hire often play a wide range of music, including styles originating from Mexico and adopted from elsewhere. These include jarabes, waltzes, serenades, corridos (Mexican ballads), ranchera, cumbia, and more. Mariachi bands for hire bring a festive and soulful element to a party, birthday, wedding, corporate affair, fundraiser or community event. UNESCO has inscribed mariachi music on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

How many mariachis can a band have?

A mariachi band for hire can have as many players as you like. Modern mariachi bands typically have a minimum of four players with the trumpet playing a vital musical role along with stringed instruments such as the violin, guitarrón (a Mexican bass guitar with a deep body), vihuela (a Spanish stringed guitar) and guitar. Strong vocals are also an important component of mariachi bands for hire, since one or more of the players will be singing during the performance. For a truly spectacular show, you can hire a mariachi band with 15 or more players. The medley of stringed instruments, multiple trumpets, soaring vocals, and even an accordion or harp is powerful and beautiful. Mariachis typically wear the traditional costume of charros — Mexican horsemen. The look is a very regal, monotone suit, often in black or white, with silver adornments and embroidery. Mariachi bands often wear sombreros as well. Traditional mariachi bands were only made up of two or more players, according to a UNESCO report celebrating the cultural heritage of the musical style. The style of music originated in the state of Jalisco. Now the style of music is symbolic of Mexico but is celebrated all over the world, and adds a fabulous vibrancy to any group’s events, parties and weddings.

How much do mariachi bands cost?

The cost of a mariachi band for hire will depend on how many players are in the group. Each musician in a performance group needs to be paid, so pricing is usually based on the number of mariachis (musicians), the location of the event (and travel time required), and the length of the performance.

Day of the week also affects cost, as does day — Christmas, New Year’s Eve and other major holidays will cost more than regular days.
