About
My name is Maria Arenas. I was born in Juarez, now I'm a Texas resident. I am recently studying Music Education in classical voice at the University of Texas at El Paso. I have been studying music since my Freshman year in High School. I always wanted to sing but I didn't have the resources until I came to live to El Paso. Now, I am living my dream, for I am doubling major in Music Education and Music performance with a minor in Education. I am a member of Young Artist at El Paso Opera I love singing as well I love teaching children. I hope to achieve my goals and graduate soon.

I would like to go and study at the University of Cincinnati to get a Master degree either on Piano or choral music.
