Alianza Académica

If Music Education teaches us one all-important lesson, it’s that we are more successful when we work together.

It takes a community of students, performers, educators, family, retailers and those who design and craft the instruments to bring music to life.

In support of this community, we proudly present the KHS America Alianza Académica.

Frequently Asked Questions

See if your question is answered here.

My school already owns Jupiter, Mapex, Hohner and/or H. Jimenez instruments. Do we already qualify as Alianza Académica Members?
Signing up for a Plata membership is as easy as filling out the Alianza Académica Membership Form with your school information and level of participation!

If you already have Jupiter, Mapex, H. Jimenez, or Hohner instruments in your inventory, please fill out an Instrument Value Form to see if you qualify for a higher level of membership. View Qualification Criteria

Does my program have to own instruments of every KHS brand to qualify as an Alianza Academica Member?

No. You can actually Qualify for Plata Level membership while owning very few (if any) of our instruments. To qualify for Oro, Platino, and particularly Diamante Level Membership, representation of our brands within your program becomes more critical. View Qualification Criteria.

If my program is accepted as a Plata or Oro level member of the Alianza Academica, can we work our way up to Platino or Diamante in the future?

Absolutely! As you meet the additional qualification criteria, you are welcome to submit a new application to be advanced to the next level. View Qualification Criteria.

I am a teacher that is thinking of starting a Mariachi or Conjunto program in my school. Can I sign up for the Alianza Académica?

Absolutely! The Alianza Académica will provide valuable resources to start your new program and can give you access to experienced educators if you have any questions along the way! View Application
