Plus, pre-registered students get a discount! 💙 There’s still a time to sign up ➡️ www.newcastanets.com 💙 And yes, if anyone is annoyed, it’s my dog – and rest assured, we always protect her ears. 💙 | New Castanets / Kastaněty JINAK

Now the New Castanets Academy is available in English too! 💙💙 This unique technique was created by my dad when he found castanets as a kid and had no idea how to play them. For our students, we offer special castanets—designed by him and made exactly for this technique—and we ship them worldwide. (They are not free and can’t be ordered without the course, because they’re made just for our students.) Get 30% off until April 25 – valid for both the English and Czech courses! www.newcastanets.com

Even the least creative people still manage (tutorial) We play castanets — originally a Spanish instrument — but in a whole new way. My dad created a different playing technique, blending rhythm and melody. Now I’m sharing it with the world. 💙 | New Castanets / Kastaněty JINAK
