Want To Try Something Uniquely Different For YOUR Workplace - Team Bonding and Seminars?
Our “Notes and Beats” Community Music Workshops focus on the Facilitation of Group Bonding and Therapeutic Synergy through the Art of Music Making and Movement. They are very interactive and incorporate communication with fun-enhanced alliance activities that encourage collaboration and unified teamwork. Above all else, they are a unique concept for boosting personal and environmental morale.
Notes and Beats use simple percussion instruments such as Maracas, Egg Shakers, Triangles, Tambourines, Drumsticks, Rhythm Sticks, Bells and Kazoos in a smile-induced laid-back atmosphere of simply making music. We choose well-known songs from the Beatles, CCR, Bruno Mars, ABBA, Bryan Adams, Shania Twain, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Elvis etc. Or ANY songs that our teams suggest … we’ve even workshopped Metallica.
We encourage our teams to make music together. To sing, hum, beat and create a memorable interactive entertainment scenario and create a greater team purpose = SYNERGY!!!
The benefits of music are infinite. We know that music benefits individuals and groups in improved memory through its repetitive nature while forming patterns and boosting brain functions and cognitive development. Overall literacy is enlightened through planning, flexibility, and coordination. There is also the increased development of large and fine motor skills, socialization, language, friendship, reading skills, and math skills. Through songwriting, we draw on the science of music to inspire creativity while strengthening connections amidst feelings of accomplishment and self-confidence. Music helps to manage emotions, boosts enjoyment, reduces anxiety, and can be a welcome antidote for loneliness and self-isolation as it brings people together.
We believe our workshops can help improve the company structure and enhance respect for each other and ourselves. Our workshops give everyone a chance to practice and create in a situation where the stakes are low. Notes and Beats strengthen interpersonal relationships, teaches new skills, and organize a group of people into a cooperative friendly framework -- all of which can assuredly strengthen a company’s brand and unites the purpose all around. Happy team bonding can help articulate a brand.
Our workshops are ideal for small group settings of 5-20 people. (This can be adapted to larger groups too). They can run anywhere from 30-90 minutes and will focus primarily on music making, learning songs through rhythm, notes, beats, singing, music history, music trivia, and movement. Our workshops can be also turned into a song-writing seminar to create an anthem, song, jingle, or a fun-filled pick-me-up.
I am available for Lectures, Seminars, Workshops, Corporate Parties, Seasonal Functions, Team Building Events, Private Groups, Hospitals, Treatment Centres, Homeless Shelters, Retirement Residences, Group Homes, Schools, Colleges, Universities and any environment.
