Mr. Jaime Valenzuela
is a professional mariachi and has been a teacher and mentor to Tesoro
musicians since most were in kindergarten. He has a knack for bringing
together talented young musicians. His first youth mariachi group was
Mariachi Milagro Juvenil, later Mariachi Milagro, also a wonderful
group of talented musicians from Tucson.
Mr. Valenzuela's
expertise serves many young mariachis well as he teaches at the annual
Tucson International Mariachi Conference and at an elementary school in
Tucson, Arizona.
The Valenzuela Family is
perhaps The First Family of Mariachi in Tucson. Jaime's dad is "Dr. V",
formerly "Mr. V" - Dr. Alfredo Valenzuela received his honorary PhD in
Music Education from the University of Arizona in 2008. The decision
was unanimous in the University Senate and President affirmed the
decision without hesitation. The entire family is musically gifted
including Jaime's brother, Rudolfo "Rudy" Valenzuela and wife Kathy;
his sister Myrna and her husband, and niece, Ara, who is a member of
Tesoro and of Mariachi Aztlan.
We thank Jaime Valenzuela for his hard work and devotion to Tesoro's musicians and families!
