Group Music Activities for Adults

Here at the Rock and Roll Experience we create group music activities for adults. That’s all we do. We are specialists. And this is what we are passionate about. Whilst many team building companies offer everything under the sun and then outsource it to people like us, we focus on what we love and do best. And that is group music activities for adults.

The reason many people search for group music activities for adults is that music has a very powerful effect on a group. Whether it’s the benefit of group drumming, the energy of a dance event, or the uplifting power of singing, music events can create the perfect right result every time.

People use our group music events for a number of scenarios such as:

Corporate team building
School staff inset days
Conference energisers
Meeting ice breakers
Staff training days
Company merger events
Product launch events
and more…

Our music events are increasingly popular and incredibly effective at doing what they need to do; Giving people an amazingly fun, memorable event whilst driving home key messages and helping people strengthen their bond whilst learning how to work effectively together.

“It was such a pleasure to work with you all, the experience was fantastic and we have had nothing but widely positive feedback.” Claire Paterson – Retail Support Assistant UK & Ireland -Tiffany & Co.

We have provided events for some of the best known brands as well as lots of much smaller companies. That’s because we offer something for everyone no matter what the requirements or budget.

team building, corporate events, musc events All of our group music activities for adults are completely adaptable to meet any budget, any time frame, any location, any group size, and suitable for any person.

The teams are guided by professional musicians and expert facilitators to find solutions to challenges and to work together towards the common musical goal.

Check out our team building overview video below which shows you some of the different group music activities that we offer and remember all our events are for any age group, any physical ability, any skill set and best of all no experience is necessary. In fact we prefer it that way because then everyone is really challenging themselves and being forced to succeed well out their comfort zone.

Conference Energiser to Get Your Delegates in Harmony

Posted on 24 August 2017 by Social Media Manager

Singing Conference Energiser

Our Rock Choir conference energiser is one of our most popular events for good reason. Quite simply – it works really well. We use this event for small groups right through to huge conferences. It works well as a two hour team building session with smaller groups and works equally well from as little as 30 minutes as a conference energiser.

The main reason it works is that we use the uplifting magic of singing to get the group working together to achieve a high energy, endorphin releasing outcome.

And so we’re really excited to launch our new showcase video below.

What if my non-singers don’t like it?

Every client asks this question because they all, understandably, have the same fear. But we have highly skilled vocal facilitators that warm the delegates up gradually starting with some fun (and quite silly) vocal warm ups before moving on to learning the song content. It is all carefully constructed so that even the least musical person in the group can follow, engage and share the successful result. It’s about having fun, being a supportive group and reaching the desired outcome of creating something special.

In fact the bosses at famous jewellers Tiffany & Co. had the exact same concerns and you can watch the highlights video below. These are non-singers and the session started with many apprehensive faces staring back at us. See if you can spot anyone in that room that isn’t smiling, taking part and having an amazing time at the end.

Here are some lovely comments we received back:

“It wasn’t just creating a choir, the energy and the way in which you engaged with the crowd was brilliant. Even on the toughest of days, you all managed to get most of them involved! I absolutely loved it every day! I only wish we had more than 45 mins!!” Rebecca Nicholson – Retail Support Manager UK & Ireland -Tiffany & Co.

“It was such a pleasure to work with you all, the experience was fantastic and we have had nothing but widely positive feedback.” Claire Paterson – Retail Support Assistant UK & Ireland -Tiffany & Co.

And also from John Lewis:

“Just to say a huge thank you to you today, it was brilliant. The sessions were really fun and our guys seemed to get involved and enjoyed their singing!” Claire Gilbert – Regional Learning Facilitator – John Lewis

And Sainsbury’s:

“It was fab thank you- loads of fun. You got it just right on the amount of micky taking and who he could pick on which was brilliant!” Karen Zwager – Sainsbury’s

We could go on because the event gets such positive feedback but hopefully you get the idea. So watch the video below to get a feel for the energy and get in touch if you want to discuss how we can bring this or any of our other events to your conference or team building day.

6 Essential steps to help working together in the workplace

Posted on 29 March 2017 by Social Media Manager

Working together at work is crucial

Here’s how to make it happen

Were put together 6 essential steps to help working together in the workplace and help make your office environment more harmonious. The concept of your employers working well together seems like an easy one, you all come to the same building, to work hard, to better yourselves professionally in order to earn more and progress in life; it sounds simple. However there are a few things that you can adhere to thus ensuring that the work journey for you and your staff is a successful one.

1. Respect Space

The first step to working together is ensuring that you respect one another’s space. If you are constantly stepping on your colleagues toes or being overbearing within the workplace you may find that the office harmony isn’t so great and that they don’t want to work with you. So always ask before entering a persons cubicle or office, be respectful and they will in turn do the same to you. It’s important that everyone feels like they have control of their work area.

2. Respect Time

The second step and also just as important as the first is respect people’s time. If you are allowed access to a colleagues work space try and refrain from discussing personal issues, unless they are also a friend and the conversation is not predominately work related. If not then stick to the point and be professional. Your colleague might be working to am important deadline and their time is just as valuable as yours.

3. Reward and Encourage

The third step to working well with your colleagues is to encourage those working with and around you to be as creative as possible. Also try to be appreciative of each other. Everyone is a valuable asset to the company and this appreciation will spur everyone to work harder for the same goal. So a pat on the back or a high five can really go a long way in ensuring everyone is working hard and feels good about themselves. As a manager or team leader you have greater control over rewarding those around you with bonuses or other perks, such as a day off, gym membership, or perhaps start a employer of the month system to help people achieve their work goals.

4. Take advantage of resources

Another good way to provide a positive atmosphere within the workplace is to ensure that all staff have access to training programmes that help workers become more efficient in their roles. More available resources make people feel more confident when doing their jobs and it gives them that extra support without having to constantly ask managers if they are stuck.

5. Be Supportive

Offering support in person to each person working with you or under you is something a lot of employers forget. It is important that the workplace maintains an open-door policy that encourages all staff to come to you with problems that they cannot resolve on their own. If you cannot help, you can direct that person toward the benefits or resources that can help them.

6. Arrange Fun Events

Finally, organise some team building activities for your company, as the rewards from high team effectiveness are well worth it. This is why team building activities really do help your business by enhancing employee relationships thus making your office environment a good one to work in.

Are you a Walking Dead Fan?

Posted on 19 March 2017 by Social Media Manager

Love The Walking Dead? Bring the zombie vibe to your team building event!

walking dead, zombies, thriller, team building, dance, music, corporate event With season 7 of the highly addictive television programme The Walking Dead being back on our screens, we are sure you are enjoying this blood thirsty knuckle ride of show! And for that reason we feel it’s right time to mention our zombie themed team building event.

Our thriller dance team building event is fun and energising and is ideal if you are looking for something a little different to bring your work colleagues together. Using professional choreographers, we teach you the iconic moves from the famous Thriller dance routine before bringing it all together to learn it for a full performance. Absolutely no dance experience is required and even those with two left feet and no rhythm will still find it easy to join in.

Then once you have mastered the dance its time to transform you all into some authentic gruesome zombies. We will give you a short tutorial on how to become a realistic zombie but you might not need help if you are already a Walking Dead fan. We then supply you with some nice blood splattered costumes so you can truly get into character, we also have Michael’s iconic red and black track suit so someone can become the legend himself! If you have a CEO or manager with a good sense of fun then it can work really well for them to play the part of Jacko.

If you want this as a shorter energiser session, then we can avoid the zombie make-up and get right down to it with the dance routine. Whatever you decide it will be a unique event that will be remembered in years to come.

So whether you want this as a smaller group affair for two hours with zombie makeovers, or a 30 minute energiser at a large conference, this Thriller team building event will leave your audience laughing and pumped up with excitement.

“We are often invited to PA/EA functions and I can safely say this was the best event I’ve been to in my 7 years as a PA. The event was well organised, the staff were superb and the activities were all of a high standard. Kindest Regards, Charlotte.”

Why not film the fun? Our film crew can capture all the fun in high definition and edit it for you to keep those zombie memories for all to enjoy.

Conference icebreaker sessions

Posted on 13 April 201624 August 2017 by Social Media Manager

Simple but effective conference icebreaker

An conference icebreaker or energiser session is crucial. The task of keeping large groups of people engaged and focused at corporate conferences is the biggest challenge when planning your company conference. No matter how interesting your content, the human brain can only take so much information before it starts to lose concentration.

Our musical boomwhacker events have proven very effective at creating the antidote with a vibrant fun conference icebreaker that is very quick to set up, totally interactive and gets the delegates working together to create something special and memorable.

Boomwhackers are plastic tubes which are struck to create a percussive sound. Each different coloured tube creates a different melodic note so when conducted effectively en masse you have your own colourful orchestra! In fact by the end of a session as short as thirty minutes the group will be playing a piece by Beethoven.

This event provides an energising, high impact and brilliantly visual team building conference energiser activity. Our trained charismatic facilitator is able to very quickly teach the notes using colour codes to create a performance that encourages each tone group to take ownership of their new role and support the people around them. These groups will then play their notes as one to create their own musical masterpiece.

Boomwhackers can be used for a variety of purposes, including as an icebreaker, energiser or introduction to an event. They are suitable for all venues because they are small, light and take seconds to distribute throughout the room. Boomwhackers also provide a great option at venues that are concerned about noise levels because they are relatively quiet.

So don’t miss out on having a high-impact conference energiser that will guarantee maximum engagement in a fun, hassle free session.

We also have a very successful Rock Choir conference energiser that you might like to look at as well.
