Los Cenzontles Cultural Arts Academy

A nonprofit cultural arts academy, a band, a production studio, and a community space for youth and families, working together to amplify our Mexican roots here in the Bay Area and beyond.

Los Cenzontles has provided quality arts education training to young people since 1989. Our unique approach is both disciplined and fun. Our highly trained, internationally recognized, faculty focus on building our students’ skills in listening, awareness, communication, teamwork, and expression.

Our maestros use their expertise and take the necessary time to assess and monitor each child’s strengths and needs in order to place them into the most appropriate class or ensemble. We ask for your patience with this process; it is designed to provide your child the best learning experience.

Los Cenzontles was founded to hold our community youth to the high standards they are capable of reaching. Therefore, we require that our students attend consistently, arrive punctually, be respectful and cooperate to create an environment where they can all learn and grow.

Class fees are designed to be affordable for our community. What our families pay covers 15% of the actual costs of our program, we raise donations and grants to support our program. We welcome and appreciate your cooperation and support. The only requirement to learn at Los Cenzontles Academy is readiness to learn.

Classes at Los Cenzontles provide students with a rich cultural arts foundation that develop skills, confidence, and creativity in young people, while contributing to living Mexican American cultural art forms. Students engage in rigorous, fun, hands-on learning in traditional music, dance, folk arts and crafts, taught by master artists!
