HOW TO PLAY CASTANETS
A castanet is a percussion instrument, very old and much used in Phoenicia civilization. Phoenician civilization was an enterprising maritime trading culture that spread across the Mediterranean during the first millennium BC, between the period of 1200 BC to 900 BC. Nevertheless, through the history castanets were used to evoke a Spanish atmosphere. Castanets are a part of the spanish cultural heritage (they are considered to be the spanish national instrument). That way the castanets are generally used to give colour and to evoke a Spanish musical atmosphere.
How to put on the castanets
First you must see which castanet in higher pitched than the other.
The higher pitched castanet is placed and the right hand and the castanet with the lower tone on the left hand. In order to do this, the cord of the castanets is put on the thumbs and then the other. The castanets must be tight, but not uncomfortably so.

corret position that wehave explained, and moving the wrist as little as possible, begin to play the CA-RRE-TI-LLA, wich is composed of four clicks: CA, with the little finger; RRE, with the ring finger; TI, with the middle finger; LLA, with the index finger.
· TAN: This click is called TAN and is played by the left hand immediately after the CA-RRE-TI-LLA. The click is played by the ring finger and the middle finger at the same time.
· TIN: The TIN sound is produced by the ring finger and the middle finger and the middle finger of the right hand and should sound after the CA-RRE-TI-LLA-TAN
· TIAN: when the sound TIN and the sound TAN are played simultaneously, it is called the sound TIAN.
· POSTICEO: This sound consists of the clicking together of the two castanets. In order to do this lift the right hand so that it is level with the left hand and click the castanets together.
