Summary/Abstract: The present publication consists of a number of sections presenting challenges in the field of educational innovations regarding the context, continuity and changes in academic education as evidenced by the example of UAM WPA (Adam Mickiewicz University, the Faculty of teaching and Art) Big-band in Kalisz. The first section of this publication presents big-bands as a form of musical ensemble with instruments in use. In accordance with the preliminary assumptions, modelled on the history of establishing big-bands, the subsequent section deals with the creation of UAM WPA Big-band in Kalisz. The final section of this publication presents students’ opinion on the activities of the band. It is a favourable opinion supported, for example, by the fact that students from other departments of the faculty are willing to join the band. Finally, the publication presents a number of conclusions prepared by the author.
