Kindergarten and school teachers
For educators working with children and youth who want fresh, engaging approaches to rhythm, movement, and group focus.
Practical training with boomwhackers for working with groups.
Teacher training
I come to a specific school or institution and a specific staff group. I do not run open enrolments, I show you how simple tubes can become sessions with rhythm, clear rules, and room for your own ideas.

Work with boomwhackers starts with shared action.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.
Music classes, rhythmics, and integration
For immediate use in early education, music lessons, after-school care, activity clubs, and everyday classroom integration.
Teaching faculties and school teams
For school management seeking an actionable, practical teaching method that the entire faculty can use right away.
Group attention without raising your voice
Actionable START / STOP routines, count-ins, and conducting cues help focus and quiet a group without shouting.
Ready lesson scenarios and flexible ideas
Proven rhythm and movement activities, plus an easy framework for designing custom sessions, can be matched to student ages.
What happens during the training
We start with simple rules and rhythm, then move towards ideas and materials participants can return to in their own work.
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.
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.
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.
Session plans, games, and multimedia
A session outline, rhythm and movement games, multimedia, and online tools can be adapted to your own classes.
Post-training materials
Participants receive an interactive outline, rhythm cards, a video recording, music, links to online tools, and materials they can return to when planning sessions.
A method grounded in practice
Boomwhackers are simple, while good group facilitation needs experience, structure, and attention to the group's energy.
4,000 teachers trained
My work with teachers across Poland helps me respond to the real needs of a room and its group. I also train as an educator at DobEdu, an accredited teacher development institution.
Practice since 2010
Since 2010, I have connected music and movement with groups at different levels of energy and experience.
From practice to method
Participants first experience the exercises, then break them down into principles they can use in their own sessions.

Frequently asked questions
These answers help you check the fit before getting in touch.
Is it just entertainment?
Fun is the starting point, but the training teaches work with rhythm, rules, attention, cooperation, and lesson design.
Do teachers need musical experience?
No. Simple rules, listening, counting in, and a willingness to act together are enough. The colour assigned to each pitch helps participants quickly find their role in the group.
What does the school receive after training?
Participants receive an outline with rhythm cards, a music playlist, a list of online tools, and a link to the dedicated post-training materials page.
How do we agree on price and timing?
The price is 180 PLN gross per person. We agree the date, group size, and logistics by phone.
How many people can take part?
Typically 20 to 25 participants, but we can work with a smaller group as well. Larger teams are quoted individually.
What does the room need?
Any room where participants can stand in a circle is enough. Equipment, logistics, and technical details are agreed by phone before the session.
Is the training accredited and validated?
I run trainings as an educator at DobEdu, a teacher development institution accredited by the Polish Ministry of Education. My sessions go through validation on Eventpad, where I keep high ratings.
How does invoicing and settlement work for schools?
I issue an invoice with bank transfer payment terms (typically 14 days), tailored to the formal procurement procedures of educational institutions and local authorities. All administrative details are agreed smoothly before the training.
