La Hacienda Musica School for Strings

Our Teacher: Efrain Munguia, M.M.

Welcome to the La Hacienda Musica School for Strings. Based in San Juan, Texas, our company started as a sheet music publisher for string orchestras, but now we are expanding to music lessons for violin, viola, cello, bass, and soon, guitar!

Our classes will allow students starting at the age of 6 years old to learn any string instrument of their choosing. Options for lesson lengths will be for 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or a full hour.

Pricing will vary depending on each lesson’s length. For more information on lessons and pricing, please call or text us at 956-515-3688. Remember, education is our focus, music is our passion.
