I wish I could have posted this sooner. I didn’t get the etudes until a week ago. Next year I’ll be sure to get the etudes right when they release and make a video. For the vocal etudes, I’m not much of a vocalist…but I could make a video playing the music on trumpet so you can at least hear the pitches and style. You’ll need to add the lyrics yourself though. Let me know if that’s something you’re interested in.
I just posted it so that students can use it for reference. The audition is for high school students only. I wish All-State mariachi existed when I was in school!
Beautifully played! However, that piece is far easier than the Georgia 1980 audition music. No hi Cs at all. Wow! There really is not much variation in tempo. I would have loved it. Is this Junior high? Again, the player did amazing!
Thanks for the comment! I’m actually the player in the recording. This audition music was for the Texas All-State Mariachi for High School. I was not auditioning, I am a professional mariachi based out of Austin, TX. In traditional mariachi music, it is rare that the music ever goes above a high B. Mariachi music tends to be scale and arpeggio heavy, which is why these etudes are written this way. I agree about the difficulty. I learned this piece in maybe 2 hours and had it ready for recording in a day. Classical etudes require a greater amount of control and endurance. If you see my other videos, there are a few classical etudes that I’ve recorded. The purpose of this video was not to bring attention to the difficulty of mariachi etudes, but simply for the students to have a reference on style. The All-State mariachi etudes are unique and written from scratch every year, unlike classical etudes where you can find multiple recordings for reference online. That’s why I took the time to record this.
It’s actually not very common to find that specific rhythm in mariachi! You can get a similar style with 6/8 timing…but I believe the challenge of this quintuplet is to make it NOT sound like a 6/8 measure.
They are written from scratch each year. I have the 2022-2023 music in my Dropbox. I’ll upload the 2024 audition music once it’s available. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/72j2bfq6tzer4m8sozqvl/2024_Trumpet_Etude_Packet.pdf?rlkey=15r32pv6jquk55dym6b54hk10&dl=0
It could be a few things that are making you sound too dark, such as a large mouthpiece or heavy trumpet. Long tones are boring but they’re great for dialing in the tone that you want. Adam Rapa has a good video on this explaining how to find the most open tone. You can do this with notes in the staff, no need to play anything crazy high. ua-cam.com/video/UcRio9qzTY8/v-deo.htmlsi=Zf_YVbygGKPmkY6-
No! Sorry, that mistake was brought to my attention months ago and I had it addressed in the pinned comment, but now that the auditions are over I’ve updated the pinned comment to congratulate the winners.
Congrats to Isaac Carrales, Josiah Martinez, and Christian Martinez on making the All-State Mariachi!
TEXAS HAS ALL STATE MARIACHI !?
They do! I believe it started 2021-2022 school year.
There are some videos online of the All-State Mariachi concert.
If you ever get the chance to go to TMEA, every Mariachi performance is absolutely fantastic
Right ?! My thoughts exactly !!
@@ericmpenaphenomenal , i love it
@@rbv2819 Appreciate the compliment!
Perfect musicianship reading all the dynamics and slurs and stacato. Well done!

Thanks for the compliment!
You have absolute phenomenal articulation good job!
That was beautiful. Such a clean and colorful sound!

Absolutely. I started looking at #2 last night. I’ll try to get the video up before the end of this week.
I just posted Etude #2 to my channel. Check it out!
Amazing !
Thanks!
My favorite video🎉
I have been waiting for this video for so long 😭… anybody know where I can hear the Vocal Etude?

@@ericmpenano it’s ok, the vocal should be easier to work on!
Great job! Please check the rhythm in measure 10 and 12
Thanks! I have a pinned comment regarding the mistakes I made in those measures. Great catch!
@@ericmpenamy apologies, I missed your note. Sorry about that. Keep up the great work. I wish I had these learning tools when I was in school.
Are you kidding me! The year after I graduate they finally have Mariachi!!!
Never mind, I'm from Virginia
You should win that if you have entered. Sounds great………

Man I wish I was in Texas lol
That quintuplet feel at 0:47 is so sick!! Is that a common mariachi thing?

Are you a director
Not anymore. I used to teach mariachi here in Texas, but these days I make a living as a full time musician in Austin.
Very nice recording! Are you double tonguing or single tonguing the 16th notes?
The 16th at the beginning and ending are double tongue. I used single tongue during the slower, middle section.
I have to do this for regional tomorrow and I just started reading it pray for me guys 😅
Watch the rhythm in measures 10 & 12! I played it wrong.
Good luck tomorrow!!
@@ericmpena thank you 🙌
Where can I find the pdf

Ah ok. Do you know who the composer is?
@@robgreaney3203 John Nieto who teaches at Brackenridge and Josue Eddy Lopez who teaches at Grand Prairie Fine Arts Academy
@@ericmpena awesome thank you so much!!!!
@@robgreaney3203 No problem!
how is your tone so bright? mine rn is sort of a smoky jazzy tone which i hate. any help?

ty!
Are the rhythms in measures 9 and 11 being played correctly? Asking for a friend.
No! Sorry, that mistake was brought to my attention months ago and I had it addressed in the pinned comment, but now that the auditions are over I’ve updated the pinned comment to congratulate the winners.
Good catch though!
Pero si te dice son jalisciense, metele saboooor, parece orquesta 😭
Measures 10 and 12 are the wrong rhythm….
Yeah, I’m aware!
