Improvements:

Class size ! When I first booked I was told class size was small no more than 6-7 people. I was also told that they would talk about Mexican culture and history. My son was not happy or interested.

Location: BELMONT/CRAGIN: Metropolitan Family Services - North Children's Center | Instructor: Erendira Izguerra

Response from Sones de Mexico Ensemble

I have alerted the teacher to include the units on history and geography to provide cultural context for the music in the book. Regarding class size, I'm sorry that you were misinformed: 6-7 is actually the "minimum" size. Feel free to communicate directly with the teacher if there is something else you are missing. He is very receptive. Thanks for bringing it up. Sincerely - Juan Dies, Director.
