I’m Janice. And I love Boomwhackers®.
I’ve been a music teacher for many years (more than 40…) and have worked in many different settings - in classrooms and in the community. My main focus over all this time has been to bring out the musical potential in everyone.
Now I’ve retired from the classroom, I want to share some of my experiences, because I know what it’s like to be a really busy music leader who wants to do a good session but hasn’t got very long to prepare! I’m hoping that this might help a bit.
Boomwhackers® have helped me deliver engaging and fun musical activities that build skills, knowledge and confidence. Without needing any advanced music skills. And now I’d like to spread the word.
I hold Music Degrees from the Universities of Birmingham and York and a Diploma from Birmingham Conservatoire.
“We would like to say a huge thank you to Mrs Summers for coming into school to deliver a fantastic Boomwhackers® workshop with our Year 1 children. The children had great fun exploring rhythm and sound, working together to create their very own musical masterpiece. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm, teamwork and joy for music shining through. Thank you, Mrs Summers, for such an engaging and memorable experience”.
—Mr W. Tatton, Headteacher, South Cave Primary School
