Music and movement play a crucial role in early childhood development, helping young children build essential cognitive, social, and motor skills.

Movement as a Learning Tool – Explore how integrating movement with music enhances coordination, balance, and gross motor development. Activities include call-and-response drumming, body percussion, and action songs that make learning interactive and fun.
Engaging Young Learners Through Play – Discover hands-on, age-appropriate music activities that capture children’s attention and encourage participation. These techniques help improve classroom management, build confidence, and foster a love for learning.
Cross-Curricular Applications – See how rhythm and movement can be incorporated into literacy, math, and science lessons to reinforce key concepts. Learn how simple beats and patterns can support storytelling, counting exercises, and STEM exploration.
Using Rhythm to Support Social-Emotional Growth – Explore how drumming and movement encourage self-regulation, cooperation, and emotional expression, creating a positive and inclusive learning environment.
This session is highly interactive, giving educators practical tools they can immediately implement in their classrooms, libraries, or music programs—no musical experience required!
Music & Storytelling in the Classroom and Library
Storytelling is a powerful tool for engaging young learners, fostering language development, and sparking imagination. When combined with music and rhythm, stories become even more interactive, memorable, and dynamic. In this engaging workshop, Mister Boom Boom demonstrates how educators and librarians can integrate percussion, sound effects, songs, and movement to bring stories to life and create immersive learning experiences.

Singable Stories & Call-and-Response – Explore how music can transform traditional storytelling into a participatory experience. Learn call-and-response songs, simple melodies, and rhythmic chants that help reinforce story elements and keep children engaged.
Cultural Connections Through Story and Music – Discover folk tales, rhythmic chants, and traditional songs from around the world to introduce children to diverse cultures, storytelling traditions, and musical styles.
Interactive Storytelling Activities – Get hands-on experience with rhythm-based literacy games, movement storytelling, and guided improvisation. Learn how to encourage children to participate in storytelling by adding their own sound effects, beats, or dance movements.
Building Literacy Through Music – Understand how rhythm and melody support phonemic awareness, vocabulary retention, and comprehension skills, helping to lay a strong foundation for reading and writing.
Whether you’re a teacher looking to integrate music into your curriculum or a librarian seeking new ways to make storytime more engaging, this workshop provides practical, easy-to-implement strategies that make literacy fun, interactive, and accessible to all learners.
No musical experience needed—just a love for stories and a willingness to have fun!
Building Confidence Through Music
Music is a powerful tool for fostering self-expression, resilience, and social-emotional growth in young learners. When children engage in music-making, they develop a sense of accomplishment, creativity, and confidence that extends beyond the classroom or library. In this interactive workshop, Mister Boom Boom shares practical techniques for using rhythm, song, and movement to help children build self-esteem, communication skills, and a positive sense of self.
Key Focus Areas:
Encouraging Self-Expression Through Music – Learn how to create a judgment-free, inclusive musical environment where children feel safe to explore their voices, instruments, and bodies through sound and movement. Activities include vocal improvisation, drumming games, and call-and-response songs that give children a sense of ownership over their musical experiences.
The Power of Group Music-Making – Discover how ensemble drumming and rhythmic activities promote teamwork, listening skills, and cooperation. Through shared music-making, children learn to trust themselves and others, building confidence in both social and academic settings.
Breaking Down Musical Barriers – Many children (and even adults!) feel self-conscious about their musical abilities. This session provides simple, accessible activities that make music-making easy and fun—no prior musical experience needed! Participants will learn how to incorporate body percussion, found-object instruments, and simple rhythms to help children engage with music in a way that feels natural and rewarding.
Overcoming Stage Fright & Performance Anxiety – Explore strategies to help children feel comfortable performing in front of others, whether through small group activities, solo moments, or classroom presentations. Learn how to shift the focus from “getting it right” to enjoying the process, fostering a growth mindset and resilience.
Using Music to Build Social-Emotional Skills – Rhythm and song can help children identify and express emotions, develop self-regulation, and improve communication skills. Discover ways to integrate music into daily routines to encourage mindfulness, self-reflection, and positive social interactions.
Celebrating Every Child’s Unique Voice – Learn how to use music as a tool for empowerment and encouragement, recognizing each child’s contributions and helping them discover the joy of creative expression.
