Who is this training for?

For teachers and educators who want to use boomwhackers not only for a single performance, but also in everyday work with a group.

  1. Kindergarten and school teachers

    For educators working with children and youth who want fresh, engaging approaches to rhythm, movement, and group focus.

  2. Music classes, rhythmics, and integration

    For immediate use in early education, music lessons, after-school care, activity clubs, and everyday classroom integration.

  3. Teaching faculties and school teams

    For school management seeking an actionable, practical teaching method that the entire faculty can use right away.

What happens during the training

We start with simple rules and rhythm, then move towards ideas you can use with your own group.

  1. START / STOP and group rules

    Every activity starts and ends with a clear signal from the facilitator. The START and STOP cues, along with simple rules, bring order to group work from the first minutes, without raising your voice.

  2. Counting in, tempo, and rhythm cards

    Counting in the style of ONE, TWO, NOW ME passes the tempo and the lead. We work with quarter and eighth notes in simple metres, and rhythm cards show WHACK, TAP, BOOM strikes and the SHH rest.

  3. Playing together and imagination

    The tubes become a wave, rain, a jungle, or an instrument in a story. From imitation we move towards the group's own ideas and a short shared performance.

  4. Session plans, games, and multimedia

    A session outline, rhythm and movement games, multimedia, and online tools that can be adapted to your own classes. Participants leave with ready material for further work.

What teachers take away

After the training, participants have more ideas, tools, and confidence to work with boomwhackers independently.

  1. Group attention without raising your voice

    Actionable START / STOP routines, count-ins, and conducting cues that focus and quiet a group of 30 children in seconds without shouting.

  2. Ready lesson scenarios and flexible ideas

    A complete library of rhythm games, movement activities, and an easy framework for designing custom sessions matched to student ages.

  3. Immediate classroom transfer and resources

    Ready session outlines, rhythm cards, backing tracks, and video tutorials ready to bring straight into the classroom the very next day.

A method you can take into your work

Boomwhackers are simple. Using them with a group takes ideas, structure, and thoughtful facilitation.

  1. 4,000 teachers trained

    This scale of teacher training across Poland supports work with the real needs of a room and its group.

  2. Practice since 2010

    Long-term practice connects music and movement with groups at different levels of experience.

  3. From practice to method

    Participants first experience the exercises, then break them down into principles they can use in their own sessions.

  4. MaxieDISC consultant certificate

    Formal preparation supports thoughtful work with communication and differences visible in a group.

What remains after training

The training does not end when you leave the room. Participants receive materials they can return to when planning future activities.

  1. Outline with rhythm cards

    A session outline with rhythm cards and variants for different groups. A working document you can adapt to your own classes right away.

  2. Music and exercise recordings

    A playlist of music for sessions and links to recordings showing the exercises in practice, from counting in to a shared performance.

  3. Online tools and materials page

    A list of proven online tools and access to a dedicated post-training materials page, shared with participants as a link during the session.

Format, price, timing, and logistics

The training is for teachers and educators. We confirm practical details with the group and location in mind.

    Group training at your school, for the whole staff team or a selected group of teachers. Typically 20 to 25 participants, larger groups are quoted individually.

  2. Price

    180 PLN gross per person. Above 25 people we agree on a group rate, travel costs are added depending on the location, and we always confirm the price when booking the date.

  3. Duration
