Castanets

A student sent in this great photo of her new castanets!  She said:

“I am a happy employee today, I have received my castanets and I am practicing at work. It is not only fun but it turns out it is a great way for releasing stress!

I did have to add paper on one of the sides and an elastic to block the noise, otherwise I would be without a job before I ever learn how to play them!!!!!”

It’s always great to see another enthusiastic student!
