Fall 2024 - SO so so fun! A very relaxed environment, and Chuy is so great. He is very knowledgeable and approachable, and since he can play all the instruments in the arrangements, he's very helpful in helping teach you the different parts of the songs. Beside from playing the song, you also learn to sing along to it, and your final grade based on you singing one of the songs during Week 10. Don't be scared to take it even if you don't know how to play an instrument! There were people who were picking up their instrument for the first time, and the environment was a very low-stakes way to learn with everyone helping you out. Would definitely recommend, especially if you're a non-music major as it can be a good way to get away from the stress of your other classes!

Fall 2023 - Chug has been my favorite professor so far, he’s so understandable and his class is fun. It doesn’t matter if you do not know how to play an instrument you learn in there and also you make friends. His class is three hours every Monday, but if you are learning and forget about time while singing you won’t feel the time. The final it’s you presenting your favorite song from the list in front of everyone. It doesn’t matter if you sing bad, he just want you to have fun. I took this class during the spring last semester, and it had as a final a concert with Mariachi Uclatlan. And if you wanna sign in you just need to go to the first class, and you will get a PTE number.
