My Project

Castanets and Guiros are a staple of music classrooms everywhere. They are an inexpensive yet valuable asset to students trying to keep a steady beat, play together, and learn about the world around them. Instruments make for a fun learning environment in music class, and make great incentivizers for good behavior.

Castanets and Guiros are easy to use, fun to play, and connect students to music of Latin cultures in South America and Europe alike.

These models are low cost, but highly effective tools. My students would be lucky to have them!
