How does it work?

Through the simple process of teaching complete beginners to play an instrument and then perform together as a band, we have found that teams have emerged with better communication skills, a greater understanding of each other and improved motivation as a team. Just as important, they've had a great time. We recommend keeping the theme of the development activity known only to the organiser as experience has shown this provides the greatest developmental impact and increased energy within the team environment.

​

Our programs are extremely versatile and are suitable for small teams of eight up to teams of 100+. They can be adapted to suit  Senior Management Teams with structured evaluation or larger groups of teachers and/or pupils focussing on collaboration and effective communication.

Why should you do a team building event?

Whatever your business, your most valuable asset is a truly focused, high performing workforce. Anything less, and you’ll not reach your targets. Your people may have the drive and determination to get you there but they are, despite their protestations, only human and as such are susceptible to today’s greatest threat to performance - stress in the workplace.

We at Corporate Music Development can help overcome this problem.

​

You are probably aware of various stress management programmes available, but what we have to offer is very different.

Allow your staff the opportunity to learn a musical instrument whilst in the workplace and see these five major improvements:

1. Fewer days lost through employee sickness

2. Reduced staff turnover

3. Increased staff performance levels

4. Boost to creativity at all levels

5. Reduction in compensation and litigation costs

 

Singing lessons or music tuition in the workplace is fast becoming one of the most popular alternative therapies in the UK!

We spend the major part of our lives working and what happens to us in the workplace is vitally important to our health and well-being. More and more companies are now offering their staff the opportunity to take time out from their work schedule for personal development.

What is stress?

Pressure is essential to success and helps to keep us motivated. But excessive pressure can lead to stress which undermines performance, is costly to employers and causes illness. The Health & Safety Executive defines stress as “the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure or other types of demand placed on them”.

13.5 million working days were lost to stress, depression and anxiety in 2009. Approximately 1 in 6 people in the UK feel “very” or “extremely” stressed by their work.

66% of medical consultations concern stress-related conditions and the cost to British business from sickness due to employee absenteeism is estimated at £28 billion per annum.
