He sings and also plays five instruments including the guitar, vihuela, harp, trumpet, and guitarron.
Alfredo started working at the school in the early 1980s before Jaime became a student there in 1985. “So many lives have been impacted through music. That’s the thing that surprises most people…is to see how many kids that have gone through our program,” Jaime Valenzuela said.“I like making like memories and like…experiencing what my dad experienced from his dad,” he said.
However, it’s not just Jaime who is an instructor at the school. His brothers and sisters and their kids also teach classes at the camp.They also perform together at parties, fundraisers, educational conferences, and other local events.So if you see them playing at a concert or teaching at schools, for JJ, Jaime, and their family, music isn’t just their passion; it’s also their legacy.
