Discover the expressive sound of castanets and develop your technique, rhythm and coordination in a welcoming, supportive atmosphere.

Across five progressive sessions, we will explore how to hold and play the castanets, produce clear sounds and build rhythmic patterns, gradually bringing both hands together with greater fluency and confidence.

You will also learn to play castanets to accompany Sevillanas, building the toques step by step and bringing them together with the music. We will introduce arm movements and simple movement sequences, connecting the sounds we create with our bodies.

With step-by-step guidance and exercises adapted to different levels, this course welcomes beginners and those wishing to strengthen their foundations.
