Harmonise Your Workplace!
From team building days at work to weddings, festivals and birthday parties, I can tailor singing workshops around your needs.
Perhaps you would like a "Pop Up Choir" event, where your team spend an afternoon learning a fabulous song to present at a special company occasion? You could build a company choir in just one afternoon!
Or maybe you're running a community event that would benefit from a rousing song to draw everyone together?
What about a celebratory workshop to help your team blow off steam at the end of a tough project?
Spring is in the air and singing is a brilliant way to pull yourself out of the doldrums of the Winter.
There are a plethora of benefits to group singing, including the following:
Emotional
- boosts team spirit and creates a sense of togetherness among team members, leading to increased job satisfaction and happiness.
- helps team members express themselves creatively and build confidence, reducing social anxiety and improving self-esteem.
- fosters a positive and uplifting atmosphere, reducing stress and promoting relaxation
Engagement
- provides a fun and enjoyable way to bond with colleagues, creating long-lasting memories and strengthening relationships.
- encourages active participation and collaboration, improving communication and teamwork skills.
- offers a unique and memorable experience that sets the tone for a successful and productive teambuilding event
Regular participation:
- helps team members start their day on a positive note, boosting energy levels and motivation.
- provides a refreshing break from routine work activities, enhancing creativity and productivity upon return.
- can be easily incorporated into daily, weekly or monthly team activities, creating a consistent and enjoyable team-building routine.
If many of your workforce work from home, singing together is a brilliant way to help everyone feel like a unit again! Singing workshops are an amazing way of bringing people together, learning new skills and having fun!
I teach all songs by ear, so no previous musical experience within the group is needed. I teach a range of songs from folk and gospel to world music, but pop music is usually the most popular (excuse the pun!).
We can have a chat to find out more about your group and what might work best, and then I will design a workshop that's perfect for you. The following options give an indication of what a sample workshop might look like, but these can be changed according to preference, e.g. by teaching one longer, slightly more meaty song, in place of 2 easier songs.
