Self Esteem and Team Esteem

Posted on 28 January 201418 December 2014 by Social Media Manager

We are all familiar with self esteem; our own opinion and perception of ourselves, but many of us pass each working day without considering our team esteem at work.

A successful team will have a good team esteem. Each individual team member will share a general positive feeling about the team and perceive it to be doing things well. A team with low team esteem will be much less effective, will experience more internal conflict, and stress levels will be higher.

Of course conflict will occur in any team but a successful team recognises conflict as a good thing. It is a welcome way to challenge their own ideas and each member is receptive to differing views from their team mates, and ready to take these ideas on board and challenge their own views.

Guide to help you plan team building events

Steps to Organising a Successful Team Building Experience

How to Plan a Successful Team Building Event

Team building can be one of the most powerful tools for strengthening communication, boosting morale, and encouraging collaboration in the workplace. However, to get real value from it, a team building event needs to be well thought out and tailored to your people. Here are a few essential tips to help you plan an event that your team will not only enjoy, but also benefit from long after the day is over.

1. Know Your Goals

Before you dive into logistics, ask yourself: what do you want to achieve? Is your aim to improve communication, reward your team for a successful quarter, onboard new staff, or simply have some fun and unwind together? The clearer your goals, the easier it will be to choose the right activity.

For example, if your focus is on encouraging cross-department collaboration, opt for an event that mixes up usual team structures. If it’s about stress relief and boosting morale, something fun and light-hearted like a music video or band-building session could be ideal.

2. Choose the Right Activity

The best team building events strike a balance between fun and purpose. It’s important to select an activity that aligns with your company culture and suits your team’s personality. An energetic sales team might thrive with high-energy music-based experiences, while a group of creatives may enjoy something more expressive or artistic.

At Rock and Roll Experience, we offer a range of music-based team activities that not only bring people together but also tap into creativity, confidence, and teamwork. From forming a rock band to starring in a festive music video, our events are designed to be inclusive, engaging and impactful.

3. Think About the Logistics

Consider the practical aspects early on. What’s your budget? How many people will be attending? Will it be at your office, a conference venue, or somewhere more unique like a recording studio? Make sure you book in advance, especially during busy times like Christmas or summer.

4. Make It Memorable

The best events are those people talk about afterwards. Include elements that surprise and delight. Use props, music, challenges, or team awards to give the event a real sense of occasion.

5. Reflect and Follow Up

After the event, take time to reflect. Ask for feedback and consider what worked well. Use that insight to shape future activities and keep the positive momentum going.

Team Building – Make A Music Video

Posted on 25 July 20137 November 2025 by Social Media Manager

Team Building – Make A Music Video

Design and star in your own music video

Music Video Team Building

This is one of our most popular music based corporate team building events. Here clients are given the chance to design, plan and perform in their own music video.

They will need to pull together, get creative and find their inner rock star.

This takes the excitement to a whole new level as they design, plan, and turn the video into a reality.

Almost every time, people are surprised to see a totally different side of their colleagues that they didn’t know existed.

Team Size

5-80+
Duration

2 - 4 hours
Room size

Dependent on group size

As well as being a great, fun experience, this is also an excellent way to use corporate music sessions to tackle real business team dynamic problems that are disruptive in the workplace.

Just as a new product, service or project of any kind would start in the boardroom with brainstorming before key decisions are made and then serious planning takes place leading up to design, implementation and launch of the final product, the rock band music video will follow the same pattern.

Here each rock band team member needs to understand their role within the team in order to work together and make the most of their combined creative output. Their wildest, most exciting ideas will be encouraged, but then reality and logistics will be carefully considered as they will need to actually produce this within the limitations of time, budget, and resources.

Video narrative and content can be left open or can follow strict guidelines which might be related to the company or even a specific forthcoming project.

The possibilities are expansive but which team will produce the best video and follow the brief?

The end result will be captured and professionally edited which the team keep as a memento to create enduring memories from this positive shared experience.

Recreate a Famous Music Video

We can select the famous song together with you so it creates the right message. We can run this as a seasonal experience (such as the Christmas video below) or to fit a specific theme for your team.

Excellent songs to recreate include the Band Aid Christmas single ‘Do they know it’s Christmas’ with Duran Duran, Sting, Phil Collins, et al; as well as Lou Reed’s collaborative version of ‘Perfect Day’ with the likes of Elton John, Heather Small and Bono featuring.

As these are big group videos, and also very famous iconic works, they lend themselves very well to this event.

This session begins by splitting into sub teams, each tasked with re-writing the lyrics for specific parts of the song. This is where it starts to come to life and become very personal to that group.

They then need to think about the logistics of filming their ideas and liaise with the film crew to see what is possible.

Next up they need to rehearse the filming of their section to make sure it is slick.

They are then ready to get the cameras rolling and commit it to film.

Once all the sub groups are filmed, we film the big ensemble scenes that involve the whole team. It is hilarious, chaotic and intensely unique to the team.

We then edit the video and deliver it back to you for the premier screening!

Get in touch with us HERE to discuss your corporate training, team building or away day.

You can see some example videos below but why not get in touch to tell us what you need.

At Rock & Roll Experience, we offer a diverse array of music-based team building tailored to infuse vitality into your event:

Boomwhackers: These seemingly simple plastic tubes become instruments of harmony as participants work together to create classical music pieces, highlighting the importance of collaboration.

African Drums: Tapping into primal rhythms, drumming sessions enable teams to connect on a fundamental level, fostering unity through the collective creation of compelling beats.

Rock and Roll Choir: An uplifting and high-energy activity where even the most reserved individuals find joy in uniting their voices, culminating in a powerful group performance.

Beatboxing: This modern and accessible form of musical expression encourages participants to explore their vocal potential, culminating in a collaborative rhythmic showcase.

Thriller Dance: Delegates learn the iconic Michael Jackson routine, promoting teamwork and laughter as they master the choreography together.

Harmonica Sessions: Each participant receives a harmonica and, under expert guidance, learns to play the blues, culminating in a collective musical experience that resonates with achievement.

We even create bespoke sessions when a client has a specific need for something different. One example is this multi session in Dublin.

By incorporating these music-based team building sessions, you not only elevate the energy levels but also create memorable experiences that reinforce the value of teamwork and collective creativity.

You can see some of the videos below but why not get in touch to tell us what you need.

The Rock & Roll Experience is an organisation that you NEED at your event, no matter how big or small. I recently booked the Rock & Roll Choir experience and it really was a phenomenal experience. Highly recommend.

Corporate Bands Emerge as Executives Turn to Music for Team-Building, Stress Relief and Fun

Posted on 17 July 201318 December 2014 by Social Media Manager

After a long day at the office, many executives are choosing to put in extra hours with their colleagues on the live music circuit due to a burgeoning trend of top corporations encouraging their employees to make music together.

“We’re seeing now more than ever a drive in the American workplace toward greater teamwork and team-building, not only in the boardroom but also in the formation of corporate bands,” said Joe Lamond, president and CEO of NAMM, the international trade association for the music products industry. “These are groups of individuals who work hard together and then at the end of the day, they’re picking up musical instruments to blow off steam, develop stronger relationships and have fun.” Continue reading “Corporate Bands Emerge as Executives Turn to Music for Team-Building, Stress Relief and Fun” →

The very talented live band photographer, Joe Strudwick, is the man behind all the live band shots at Rock & Roll Experience. He certainly knows how to take a great photograph when other people are performing but we didn’t know whether or not he was any good at performing himself.

That was until he was picked out of the crowd at Guildford’s Magic Summer Live festival to play the part of Mel C and duet with Bryan Adams, the headline act, for the track ‘Baby When You’re Gone’. Continue reading “Rock & Roll Experience Photographer performs with Bryan Adams” →

Leadership Development Through Team Building

Posted on 4 July 201319 November 2025 by Social Media Manager

Leadership Development Through Music-Based Team Building

Use music-driven team building to develop essential leadership qualities like communication, emotional intelligence, creativity, and team trust.

How Music-Based Team Building Builds Leadership Skills

Music-based team building connects creativity with leadership development. Activities like collaborative songwriting, drumming circles, choir sessions, and improvisation help participants practice real-time leadership, active listening, clear decision-making, and supportive collaboration.

Emotional Intelligence and Empathy

Engaging in musical exercises enhances self-awareness and emotional intelligence by tapping into the brain’s emotional centre.

This promotes empathy, enabling leaders to better understand teams and manage group dynamics effectively. Music-based tasks help leaders become more attuned to subtle emotional cues from team members.

Team Size

5-5,000+
Duration

5 minutes - 2 hours
Room size

Dependent on group size

Communication and Presence

Rhythm and melody exercises improve vocal patterns, tone control, and clarity. Leaders develop stronger presence and communication skills as they learn to project with confidence and listen carefully to others.

Creativity and Adaptive Thinking

Musical improvisation and songwriting inspire leaders to think outside the box. These activities stimulate brain networks tied to creative thinking and problem solving, helping leaders adapt under pressure and approach challenges from new angles.

Trust Building and Team Cohesion

Group musical sessions encourage bonding and mutual support. Sharing musical experiences builds trust, promotes collaboration, and strengthens interpersonal relationships, all of which are foundational traits of effective leadership.

Stress Management and Focus

Music helps reduce stress and supports emotional regulation. Leaders who participate in music-based activities often experience improved focus, mental clarity, and a stronger sense of well-being.

Cultural Awareness and Inclusion

Exploring diverse musical styles supports cultural sensitivity and broadens perspective. Leadership workshops that incorporate global musical influences help leaders connect with diverse teams and foster inclusive environments.

Examples of Leadership-Focused Music Activities

Group Drumming Circles: Teams coordinate rhythm, listen actively, and adapt in the moment, developing situational leadership and flexibility
Songwriting Workshops: Small groups compose lyrics and melodies tied to leadership themes or company values
Choir or Vocal Ensemble: Participants achieve harmony and balance by working toward a shared musical goal
Music Improvisation Sessions: Teams explore creative spontaneity and strengthen problem-solving skills
Band Experience: Participants rehearse and perform together, practicing leadership roles, delegation, and accountability in real time

These activities support a variety of leadership styles and are suitable for any group size or skill level.

How to Incorporate Music-Based Leadership Development

Define your leadership development goals such as building empathy, enhancing communication, or encouraging innovation
Choose the right activity based on your group’s size, preferences, and leadership objectives
Ensure inclusivity so all participants feel comfortable engaging, regardless of musical ability
Debrief after the session to reflect on lessons learned and how they apply to leadership at work
Measure success with feedback and follow-up to track leadership growth and team improvements

The Impact of Music-Inspired Leadership

Teams that engage in music-based leadership development often report stronger emotional awareness, improved collaboration, and increased confidence. These sessions allow leaders to step outside their comfort zones, connect with their teams in meaningful ways, and apply new insights to real-world challenges.

Key Takeaways

Music-based team building enhances leadership skills through real-time practice
Activities help build emotional intelligence, communication, trust, and creativity
Formats are inclusive, engaging, and adaptable to all leadership levels
Debriefing turns experiential learning into lasting professional growth

Music brings energy, emotion, and connection into leadership development. It is a memorable and powerful way to help your leaders grow and thrive.
