Fabulous to do.
An unforgettable experience.
Eva accompanied me in my first steps with the castanets, and it was just fabulous.
Eva is a very conscientious person; she presents the different types of castanets and initiates you.
Some basic skills with which you leave and can already have fun at home.

Amazing experience!
Excellent experience! We took the class as a family, and it was an enjoyable and super fun experience! Eva is able to share fascinating information about flamenco and castanets, even in a short amount of time. It’s a pity it went by so quickly! I highly recommend it!

Castanets convert
I loved it! Eva is lovely, very knowledgeable and very passionate about flamenco and playing the castanets. She was very kind to do the class just for me and she was very encouraging throughout. I learned a lot more than I was expecting and would highly recommend this class as a fun and educational way to spend an hour in the city.

Castanets, Laughter, and Flamenco
We attended the castanets workshop with five friends. Eva teaches everything enthusiastically and clearly, we laughed a lot and learned how to play. At the end, Eva treated us to a beautiful combination of castanets and flamenco. Highly recommended!

Super cool hour of music!!
If you are looking for something to fill an hour, you have to do this! Eva is wonderful and you pick up so much so quickly. Apart from being a lot of fun, you can pick up the basics quickly and play along to all sorts of music. Also, bizarrely I bet it’s really good if you have any form of adhd!! Do it!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your review, Patrick! I really enjoyed our castanet class too! And I certainly agree with you that, unexpectedly, playing the castanets can help find a calm mind. Happy new year!

Highly recommended class!
I had an amazing class with Eva!
It was a fantastic first introduction to castañuelas (castanets).
Eva is patient, kind, and incredibly generous with her teaching.
She creates a warm, welcoming environment and can teach in multiple languages, which makes the class even more accessible and comfortable.
I enjoyed the class so much that I immediately asked to continue learning with her online—and I’ve been taking lessons ever since!
Highly recommend taking this class! :)
Operator response
Thank you so much for your review, Luisa! I am very glad you discovered a new instrument through my experience in Seville, and I will see you in our next online class for more practice and castanet percussion. Let's ta ria ria pi ta ria ria! :)
Looking forward!

Eva was an amazing and very engaging tutor who taught us with patience and made the experience fun and achievable . She also kindly spent time with us to r
Look for a local, traditional, flamenco show. If you’re looking for a fun and experience in a bohemian environment then I would definitely recommend Eva .
