Preschool children (ages 3-6)
A playful first encounter with rhythm and music. Simple echo patterns, dance, movement, and character stories like Bongo Banana that quickly focus young children's attention.
Rhythm, movement, and shared playing matched to the age and abilities of the group.
Boomwhackers sessions for children
I lead music workshops that teach children cooperation and discovering music through play.
I have worked with boomwhackers since 2010.

Colour, rhythm, and rules that help a group act together.What ages are the workshops for?
I match the workshop to age, group size, and the abilities of the children, with story-based sessions prepared for groups aged 3 to 18.
Primary school (ages 7-10)
A colourful shared groove, audio-motor coordination, cup games, and team rhythm challenges where children learn to listen to each other and play multi-part melodies together.
Older children and youth (ages 10-18)
Advanced challenges and autonomy: beatbox fundamentals, rhythm coding with cards, student conducting, and collaborating on their own full musical arrangement.
A programme matched to age
I do not run one scenario for everyone. I match activities to age, group size, time, and venue, and every session lasts 45 minutes.
Rhythm and active listening
We play rhythms, chords, melodies, and a colourful groove. Children learn to respond to a shared pulse and hear their place in the group. We hold a tube like a hammer and bounce the sound off its tip, while the colour assigned to each pitch helps children find the right moment to play.
Movement, dance, and coordination
Dance, action games, and partner challenges that connect movement with music and teach cooperation through play.
Playing together and group roles
Every child becomes a character symbolised by the colour of their tube and receives a clear role in the shared performance.
Imagination and own ideas
We turn tubes into funny characters, look at music through imagination, talk about abstract ideas, and let the group create their own versions of the exercises.
START / STOP rules and safety
Every activity begins and ends with a clear signal. Tubes are strictly for music-making, while short cue words help children immediately know what to do.
How the workshop runs
We get to know the group and the rules, move through 45 minutes of rhythm, movement, and action games, then close by playing together or with a mini performance.
How I work with a group
Since 2010, I have led boomwhacker workshops that combine music, movement, and clear rules with attention to the energy of each group.
Experience since 2010
I lead workshops in kindergartens, primary schools, and cultural centres across Poland, developing my practice through direct work with children.
4,000 teachers trained
My work with children is connected to training education professionals, so I build workshops with full pedagogical and developmental awareness.
Workshop offer and organisation
We agree the conditions before confirming the visit. Call me, and together we will match the workshop day to your institution.
At least four groups from one institution
I organise workshops for at least four groups from one institution, so travel and instrument setup make sense for the whole day.
Room and movement space
A gymnasium, hall, or large classroom with desks moved aside is needed, allowing the group to form a circle, sit on the floor, and move to the rhythm.
Daily schedule
With one contact person, I agree the daily plan, group rotation, and session times around school breaks and the institution's schedule.
Session duration
Every workshop lasts 45 minutes.
Travel from Kraków nationwide
I travel across Poland from Kraków with complete sets of instruments. Travel beyond 150 km is agreed individually.
Per-student rate
I agree the per-student rate individually, depending on the number of groups and the scope of the visit.
