Musical Experiences

As well as our after dinner speeches and music and management seminars, we have a capable network of musicians available which we employ in the following ways:

 

Corporate Team Building using music

Teams that play together work together better.  For Corporate Team Building using music contact us and we'll firstly diagnose your precise needs before suggesting a solution.  Here's an amateur video of a performance given by the staff of a company who wrote and performed a series of pieces at the start and end of their annual conference.

 

In the studio

We can also offer a studio environment, where teams can learn to work together through the medium of writing and recording a piece of music, assisted by professional musicians and technical staff.  We make sure that the learning has transferable value to the workplace due to our dual backgrounds as business / management experts and musicians.  This can be supplemented by business and personal development coaching before and after the experience to ensure maximum transfer of learning into results.  Have a look at this fly on the wall amateur rockumentary video produced by the staff of a Housing Company on their studio experience.

Pure entertainment

Sessions range from: classical music demonstrations, jazz ensemble, rock, pop and blues.  These can include participation from the audience if desired.  We use session musicians with pedigrees that include performances with Celine Dion, Anastasia, Cyndi Lauper, Prince and Oasis amongst others.  We've also recorded some traditional classical pieces with non traditional instruments.  Listen to Pachelbel's Canon and Air on a G String performed with an electric guitar made to sound like a violin here.

 

Spontaneous Combustion

Fully participative corporate jamming sessions, often used in combination with a pre-dinner keynote, so that people can learn improvisation and creativity first hand, guided by experienced music coaches.  We have delivered such sessions to Unilever, Pfizer, the Chartered Insurance Institute, The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, Allianz and the NHS amongst others.

 

Simply the best

If a touch of celebrity is needed, we can access a range of music celebrities, old and new, on request.

 

Singing for the Terrified

We offer great workshops with a variety of singers, from rock to opera singers.  Great for developing confidence and realising stretch goals.

 

Music Masterclasses

We have available a diverse range of musicians, from a music virtuoso who can play piano recitals whilst reading the Financial Times, to bizarre combinations of experimental instrumentalists who use 1930's synthesisers and all out rockers.  Live instruments, musical saws, computer-based creation - whatever takes your fancy.  We used a virtuoso guitar player to demonstrate his skill at an event for schools.  Watch him play 'Flight of the Bumblebee in the style of YngwieMalmsteen'
