Unusual Team Building Activities

We specialise in unusual team building, team building that revolves predominately around music.

Here are our reasons why we are the best at what we do!

Music is our absolute passion and when you’re so passionate about something you care about it and give it the attention needed to create successful team building events.

We recognise the power of music and how it can bring people together, to unite them, to make them laugh, smile but also teaches them concepts without them feeling like they are learning.

Our unusual team building activities are more popular than ever because they are so much fun and they deliver a session that allows us to drive home your key message or reach a required goal whilst creating great memories for everyone.

As we all know some of the traditional team building ideas have become cliched and many companies are now looking for more unusual team building activities for their corporate events. Something fresh and original that gets everyone excited and involved.

That is why we created our company Rock and Roll Experience to deliver fun and different musical team building events for everyone.

“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.

All of our musical team building events are easily adapted to deliver within any budget, group size and time frame. We can present the events anywhere whether it’s your office, a smart hotel, a village hall or a restaurant. We just need some space and an audience that is open to creating something special. In fact most of the time the audience isn’t even open to it at first so our expert facilitators warm them up and get them on-board.

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

“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!!”

Musical Team Building

If you want great ideas for musical team building then you're in the right place.

Some of the companies that have experienced our corporate events

Musical Team Building

We specialise in musical team building for two big reasons:

Music is our passion and when you’re passionate about something you care about it and give it the attention needed to create successful events.

We recognise the power of music to bring people together, to unite them, to make them smile and to teach concepts without them feeling like they are learning.

Our musical team building events are more popular than ever becuase they deliver a hugely fun session that allows us to drive home your key message or reach a required goal whilst creating great memories.

As some of the traditional team building ideas become cliched and tired, many people are now looking for fresh and original ideas for their corporate events, and musical team building often meets that target.

That is why we created the Rock and Roll Experience to deliver musical team building and conference energisers becuase we understand the power of music.

“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.

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

Check out our team building overview video below which shows you some of the different team building with musical instruments options 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.

Teambuilding Songs

Posted on 29 January 201930 January 2019 by Social Media Manager

Teambuilding Songs

Here are our top teambuilding songs that we have tried and tested.

Some of the companies that have experienced our corporate events

Teambuilding Songs

Which teambuilding songs are the best?

One of our favourite and most popular team building events is our Rock and Roll Choir. And because we deliver so many of these we have a large list of teambuilding songs that we know work very well.

Singing is a great team building activity because it is inherently uplifting and leaves everybody feeling happy and

positive.

Buiulding bonds between team members, improving communication, learning to work together and feeling happy are all core factors that people look for when delivering a team building event,

The event was amazing, brilliant and faultless. We could not have had a better experience. Every colleague I’ve seen today has thanked me for organising it and I’m so pleased that we could do this. It was simply the best team building experience this staff team has had in the 9 years I’ve worked here. Brilliant – thank you.” Joe and all the staff at INPUT Pain Management – St Thomas’ Hospital

If you are thinking about using a singing team building session then you might want to know which teambuilding songs are the most effective.

There are a few aspects you need to consider to create the right atmosphere for your team building event. Things that could ruin the event include:

Slow tempo
Depressing lyrics
Melancholic music

But fear not becuase we have over 100 years of recorded music to choose from so there are many teambuilding songs that tick all the boxes.

What else should I think about when choosing teambuilding songs?

You should also consider the lyrical message of the song. The music might sound uflifting but the lyrics might actually carry a very negative message which undermines the event.

We often use songs that we know work incredibly well as teambuilding songs such as the Joe Cocker version of ‘I get by with a little help with my friends’ becuase it carrys a great message. But other times we will use a song specifically for one event becuase it carries a certain message that matches that company’s ethos or the theme of their event.

Below shows an event we provided for the famous jewellers Tiffany & Co. and here we used the track ‘Breakfast at Tiffanys’ for an obvious lyrical tie in.

We also need to consider the nationaily of the audience. If the event includes people from across different countries then we don’t want to choose a teambuilding song that was a niche hit just in England becuase that excludes much of the audience. We want everyone in the room to be familiar with the music already so they quickly get involved with the event.

Of course, when we deliver a singing team building session our facilitators make sure everybody gets involved and engaged from the start. They have high energy, excellent communication skills and great charisma to connect with an audience and make sure it is successful. They are professional performers so they excel in this environment.

One concern that clients often have before booking this event is whether or not their whole audience will buy in to it. It’s a reasonable concern but our experience is that even the staunchest ‘non-singing’ men soon appreciate the benefit of this and get involved from the start.

Our favourite songs

Here are some of our favourite teambuilding songs, but as you probably gather the list is almost endless!

With a little help from my friends (Joe Cocker version)
Never had a dream come true
Happy
Something inside so strong
You raise me up
God Only Knows
Good Vibrations
Celebration
Red Red Wine
Rolling in the deep
Sweet dreams
Can’t get you out of my head
Never gonna give you up
Wake me up

If you want to discuss how we can give your next event some uplifting and memorable wow factor get in touch to we can plan a bespoke session for you.

The choir team building event works from 15 minutes up to two hours from group sizes of 10 up to several thousand.

Fun team building activities

Posted on 3 December 2018 by Social Media Manager

Fun team building activities do exist!

In fact we are so convinced by the statement “fun team building” that we have created a whole company around it.

If we asked you to sum up your past experience of corporate team building events, do you recall them with fondness? Possibly not.

In fact many clients that we work with tell us horror stories of past experiences that were dull, uninspiring and considered a waste of time by everybody involved. And as a result they were anxious about booking the next one because they didn’t want their colleagues aiming more displeasure at them!

Many of us have been forced to spend hours participating in mind numbing activities which often fail to build stronger relationships with our colleagues. In fact they often spread frustration because we know that inbox is filling up, the ‘to do’ list is not being chipped away at and we’re wasting time being bored without seeing any real benefit.

Fun Team building

Consequently, team building activities are often met with scepticism and are frequently stereotyped as being cringy, dull, clichéd and out of date.

But fear not, the Rock & Roll Experience is here to help. And we specialise in fun team building events!

We take the time to listen to our customers to find out exactly what they want the event to achieve. Are they looking for riotous fun to reward their team? Are they trying to reinforce a key message? Whatever it is, we listen to that and work with them to incorporate it and build our event around it.

We find that every organisation has a different need and requirement. Every client knows what makes their guys and girls tick. Every work group thrives on different things. At the Rock and Roll Experience our events coordinators always ensure that they establish the company’s needs and tailor each event to meet that requirement. We always ask our customers what their goals are and what they wish to achieve and take away from our events.

“Seems we will be calling on you again real soon. The fact we want to use you again says it all!!” Claire Chilton – GE Aviation

But the thing is, whether people just want a riotous jaunt or have a serious element that needs reinforcing, we will still have huge fun and create memories that will be remembered long into the future. All our events are music based and create a great experience. We don’t just run a session that you can be a part of. It’s a proper rock and roll experience. And who doesn’t like a bit of rock and roll in their life?

Our friendly and personal approach enables us to work closely with our clients to ensure that we deliver an engaging, unforgettable and fun team building experience that really connects you to your team and drives the workforce in a positive way to promote team work and unity in your workplace. Weather you are looking for just a few hours, half a day or a whole day, the Rock and Roll experience can cater for any need.

Why Team Building is So Important

Posted on 26 November 201829 November 2018 by Social Media Manager

Why Team building is so important and how it can help your business

A lot of employees wonder why team building is so important and as an employer you will always be trying to find new ways to help your staff work more efficiently. Team building events are a great way to bring people together outside their usual working environment.

So what are the classic team building events and why do employers pick certain activities? But even more importantly, how do you prepare for one so that you put on a good performance for your staff? Most employers see team building events as a way to improve working relationships between members of their teams and as a positive step to improving employee motivation. But they need to make sure they pick the right event to ensure their staff enjoy participating in the activity and that it has a positive effect on the workforce. This is why team building is so important.

Sometimes these events can involve physical exercises such as abseiling down mountains or canoeing through rapids. These are all great fun but you need to make sure everyone within the company will be up for participating in such an active event that could be out of their fitness level and comfort zone. Other times you may choose more mental challenges such as completing projects against time and scoring points with quiz’s. This is more suited to everyone’s capabilities but some may feel its not as exciting and less memorable. These days the list of options is endless and it can be challenging just trying to decide what to go for. This is why you need to research it first and even have a chat with an event company.

The most common activity and most unplanned is an evening of drinks at a local bar or going out for a meal after work. You may not see this as a team-building exercise, but your employers don’t just put money behind the bar for nothing. They’re hoping that you’ll use the opportunity to get to know each other so you can work together as a more cohesive unit. Whilst this can have a positive effect, it is often not as successful as a planned event where people are forced to work as a team to achieve a goal together. Having a few drinks or grabbing a pizza once a month can be great for some social time away from the office but in reality it is not as successful in helping your colleagues achieve more professionally.

When choosing a team building activity you are trying to pick an event that consists of these basic points.

– Engaging
– Encourages leadership
– Involves problem solving
– Shows staff confidence
– Shows determination
– Uses brainpower
– Shows your employee’s personalities

Be Bold

When picking a team building event why not go for something completely different? Something that will excite your staff and bring everyone together to create something memorable. At work, there is a hierarchy which we have to conform to but on a team building day, if run properly, everybody is equal and having fun.

Team building activities are often met with scepticism and are frequently stereotyped as being cringy, dull, clichéd and out of date. But fear not, the Rock & Roll Experience is here to help. And we specialise in fun team building events!

We find that every organisation has a different need and requirement. Every client knows what makes their guys and girls tick. Every work group thrives on different things. At the Rock and Roll Experience our event coordinators always ensure that they establish the company’s needs and tailor each event to meet that requirement. We always ask our customers what their goals are and what they wish to achieve and take away from our events.

Team building checklist – team building planning tips

Posted on 20 April 201720 April 2017 by Social Media Manager

Simple Team Building Checklist

Team building checklist tips to help you plan a team building event

If you are looking to plan a team building event for your company, you want to ensure that you book something that is fun and engaging but also fulfils its purpose and has a positive effect on everyone involved. Here are a few simple steps for you to think about before you begin your research with our team building checklist.

1. Identify company needs

The first question you should ask yourself is, “What needs to be improved in the corporation and what do you want from the team building activity?” If you can establish this in the first instance then you can target your search for activities on the most effective options to achieve the desired result. You need to ensure you are aware of the aims and outcomes of the chosen team building event before you start researching the different types of events.

2. Budget

Most team building companies are flexible with their pricing and can change the event to help accommodate you. So it does help to be forth coming with the amount you are willing to spend so that they can help you find an activity that fits in with your costings. Most team building companies have a variety of different activities and events with various pricing levels so there is something for everyone.

3. Venue

Perhaps you have a favourite luxurious hotel in London or, depending on the event you choose, you may wish to have the activity take place at your premises. In a lot of cases the team building company can organise the venue for you or are happy to just guide you to get the right venue and ensure you have thought about the logistics for the day. Just remember to think about the size of rooms, layout, location, accessibility for staff and potential AV equipment.

4. Agenda

Its always good when planning something for your staff to write up an agenda and programme for the day. It will help prevent you from forgetting anything but also these types of events do tend to run over so its good to have a timescale of what you would like to happen and when you would like your team building to start and finish. The team building company will be there to ensure their part of the day runs smoothly but in between you may wish to have an inspirational guest speaker or a member of your management team talk about the success of the company and his or her views for the future. You will have lunch, tea breaks, etc so all of this should be taken into consideration prior to the booking of an event so you know how the day or days are going to run.

5. Talk to your staff

This is very important. If employees are asked for ideas then they need to be dealt with constructively. If the ideas are dismissed or ignored it tends to make people feel they have wasted their time or are not a valued staff member. Everyone will have different views on what they consider to be beneficial for the company and what they think will be a good team building event. Depending on how big your company is you may wish to have a few smaller meetings with each team leader to establish everyone’s views and ideas. You can then take 3 of these options and request quotes from each company you have selected.

6. Open your mind

Finally be open minded because you may find that the majority of your employees want to go for something totally different to what you expected. But that’s ok because it’s predominantly down to them and if your staff are happy then you should be happy. Team building is an extremely important and vital part of any company. In recent years it has become more popular and has been proven to increase employee moral and positivity, which in turn will have a huge impact on the success of your company.

We hope our Team building checklist has been of help to you and will help you to book an amazing team building activity for your staff. If you would like to have more information about the events on our website then please Get in touch today for a no obligation quote.
