Claves

Many people know them from elementary school music lessons - the two pieces of stick that you strike against each other. It sounds simple - but in Latin American music, claves are an essential part of the music and quite demanding to play.

Most claves are made of wood. Rosewood in particular is said to be ideal for claves. Rosewood gives that subtle and rich sound that claves are known for.

How to play claves

First and foremost, it's important not to hurt your fingers, which is a real risk when you're holding two percussion instruments and getting carried away with the music. If you follow the instructions here, you're pretty much guaranteed to avoid sore fingers:

One of the claves should be in your left hand (if you're right-handed). Place it alongside your thumb and support it with your other fingertips. Make sure to place your thumb and fingertips far enough down the side so that you don't hit your fingers when you strike. And be careful not to squeeze too much - it can make the sound sound stuffy. Then you're ready to go. With a claves in your right hand, strike the center of the instrument. This gives the best tone and the loudest sound. And then just start practicing rhythms.

If you need an upbeat rhythm in your percussion setup, claves are a good choice. A simple and charming instrument with a surprising number of difficulty levels. Find more percussion instruments here.
