Join Fernell López and participate Eugene’s Mariachi del Shedd. Whether you are a beginner, or a seasoned musician, we have a Mariachi session for you! Our introductory section of Mariachi del Shedd (
Tue 4:30-6pm) is designed especially for new members, while our longstanding advanced Mariachi del Shedd (
Thu 4:30-6pm) is geared towards teens and adults with more experience in the genre. On Fridays, López will lead sectionals for both Mariachi sections to help with specific skills on each instrument.
The Music Box
Is your child interested in music, but isn’t sure what instrument they want to play? Not sure where to start with their music education? Come to The Music Box! Students get hands-on experience in a variety of instruments, movement styles, songs, and music crafts!
The Shedd’s Music Box program provides a beginning foundation in music education to help students discover the right “fit” for their musical interests and pick a favorite instrument for further study. Each session introduces a new song from our Music Box CD (from spirituals, folk, bluegrass and more) followed by a hands-on introduction to a new instrument, movement, or craft, led by a Shedd Faculty member!
The Shedd offers 3 sections of Music Box, all limited to 10 students, and full-term enrollment: two 1 hour sections which meet 2x per week (
Mon/Wed, 11am-noon) and (
Tue/Thu, 4-5pm), and one 2-hour section called Music Box PLUS which meets 3x per week that we've designed especially for families looking for an afterschool program (
Mon/Wed/Fri, 3-5pm).
