Ensamble Musical is a music program for youth ages 7 to adults. There is no charge for the music classes, but we ask for a strong commitment to regularly practice and perform. Music classes are held evenings and weekends at a Santa Cruz school site. Instruction is provided primarily in Spanish, with English interpretation available as needed.

We currently offer music and voice classes for all levels. Students will be placed in levels based on instructor recommendations, taking into account their knowledge and commitment. The instructor teaches using rhythm, and students learn to read music in the following instruments: trumpet, clarinet, saxophone, trombone, flute, tuba, and percussion. We also have the capability to provide some loaner instruments to students. Our canto class offers an overview of rhythm and tonality with a Mexican Spanish composition focus.

Enrollment is open throughout the year. For more information about the current schedule, contact: info@scsenderos.org  or call (831) 854-7740.

We have an exciting partnership with CIS (Centro de Integración Social #8) School in San Bartolome, Zoogocho, Oaxaca, a public boarding school in Oaxaca known for their exceptional music program and preserving the Banda de Viento regional style of music. We sponsor a cultural exchange with students from CIS to come to Santa Cruz and share the cultural tradition of the Banda de Viento music from the region with our students and the greater community. We have been fortunate to have music teachers trained at CIS.
