The frame drum classes with Borys are always a lot of fun. He knows how to keep the lessons diversified, he is patient, motivating and inspiring. Highly recommended!

Borys is a juggler of sound. His classes have a very somatic, even therapeutic, element to them. He teaches you to feel the sound, to make it an extension of you. He is a passionate teacher whose good energy is contagious. I have been taking lessons with him for a year and it has been a very good experience. He knows how to motivate and how to infect with his love of rhythm. I highly recommend!

The concept of a rhythmic instrument intimidated me as I have been told for years that I am not good at it. But the approach of Borys has helped me breakdown and understand rhythmic compositions. He also shifted my experience, from practicing an instrument in isolation, to the experience of communal playing that creates feelings of personal and group achievement. I highly appreciate his teaching and the class is the highlight of my week!

Borys is a very skilled teacher, who can move seamlessly in one lesson between a purely technical approach to rhythm analysis and playing the instrument on one side, and a more intuitive playful approach on the other, so he always manage to find the leverage point for the learning process to happen. Highly recommended also for individual lessons!

Really enjoyed the class - it was a mix of theory and practice, very accessible and easy to follow and got me excited about continuing to learn about frame drums.

Great frame drum player and pedagogical teacher!

Also very kind and cheerful - great for the beginner not to find the new concepts and techniques dreadfully challenging but instead to be met with playfulness and joy.

Borys Slowikowski is a fantastic teacher. To learn with him is a gratifying experience driven through curiosity; exploring rhythm and the elasticity of time-travel. The emphasis is on strengthening listening and assimilation while we play together.

Borys has guided my love of the drum in a great way. As a student, I feel comfortable and at ease with Borys because he is an accepting, patient, mature musician and teacher. He supports, does not criticize, but rather proposes solutions in a gentle way. Can inspire enthusiasm for practice, listening and exploration. I took part in several courses and watched how Borys surrounds each participant with his attention and how interesting program he can prepare. During the courses, we also take care of the body - its relaxation and proper posture. Borys's experience in working with body awareness is invaluable here. I am grateful for the acquaintance with Borys because he is not only a very good teacher but also an interesting and passionate person.

Borys is a great teacher! He finds a good balance between theory and pratice and uses a wide range of different exercises to keep the motivation high. Even in group lessons he takes enough time for individual support. I definetely recommend his workhops.
