This is one of our very first videos. Me – a total beginner. My dad – the inventor of our technique. He was teaching me step by step… and it already clicked.
And you know what? You can start just like this. 💙

Our Story
Hi! ’m Johanka, and this is my dad, Tomáš. We play castanets, that instrument originally from Spain. But we play them completely differently than flamenco dancers.
The technique we use? My dad actually invented it. He was 12 when he found a single castanet in a drawer. He had no idea how to play it and YouTube and Insta tutorials weren’t really a thing back then 😁 So… he just made up his own technique.
Years later, he taught it to me. It was during lockdown... yep, Covid. School was closed, I couldn’t see my friends, and I had no idea what to do. And this technique gave me something. Actually… not just the technique. Music.
Even though I’m a musician’s daughter, I never really managed to learn any instrument properly. I tried! Violin, for example… ouch. But I always gave up. I didn’t like practicing for hours, I wanted results now. 😁
But with castanets… somehow, it just clicked. 💙
This wasn’t practice – it was play!
From the very beginning, you’re playing. To the songs you love. It instantly becomes fun. Play.
Drums in your pocket
Castanets? Warning: highly contagious. Once this “clicking” sneaks into the rhythm of your life, it’s hard to let them go.
It doesn’t take much time.
What really frustrated me about the violin? That I had to practice for hours! When would I finally be able to play without it sounding like a screech from hell?! With castanets, it’s different. Just a few minutes a day is all it takes. 💙
Relax
You play and just vibe. Emotions turned all the way up. Rhythm is instinct. And let’s be honest – it feels good for all of us when we send our brain on vacation. 😎
How to start?
Forget that you can't
You have a rhythm within you. Use it to start a small personal revolution. One that leads to a little victory - and a lot of joy.

But...
I've never played anything, I don't know music theory and I probably don't have any talent...
So there are two of us! I'll probably never learn the sheet music either. It's lucky that no one wrote them for castanets. I understand that it's a step into the unknown, but in life we usually regret what we never tried. 💙
I have very little time for a new hobby...
You don’t need much time. 😉 Castanets aren’t the kind of instrument you have to practice for hours a day. But those 15 minutes just for yourself? We all need them.
