Corporate Drumming
Looking for a creative new ice-breaker, teambuilding or energiser activity? Motivate your audience and LET THEM MAKE MUSIC in a high impact Corporate Drumming session!
Group drumming is one of the most effective, enjoyable and fulfilling group based activities for bringing people together and engaging them in a fun & successful group process.
It works so well because everyone can participate - absolutely no musical skills or prior experience are necessary.
As rhythm is innate in all of us, through the process of “entrainment”, individuals will naturally synchronise with a beat or pulse. It is a very powerful experience connecting into the high energy rhythms and knowing when to start, when to stop, when to speed up or to slow down, and synchronising with collegues almost instantaneously.
Above all else, music making is fun! It can be created in the moment and shared by an entire group of people at the same time.
The group drumming experience will leave participants feeling more energised & connected, uplifted & relaxed!
What is involved?
Group drumming invites the opportunity to experience collaboration in a very different way. It requires all elements of being - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual - to fuse and flow. We use powerfully simple rhythms & high energy body percussion / drumming activities to connect people within minutes.
Groups are led on a fun & exciting musical journey that demonstrates how participants can begin to work harmoniously together, almost instantaneously, as well as participating in a diverse range of rhythmic activities designed to meet target outcomes (see below).
Outcomes that can be achieved through Group Drumming
Corporate Drumming Programs can be tailored to focus on specific outcomes, for example:
- As a fun & engaging ice-breaker that will help open up communications and build relationships
- As an activity to generate energy & engagement within a group or team process
- As a team building activity or to create a stronger sense of “community”
- To “set the tone” of a workshop and motivate participants to work together
- Facilitating “flow” – drumming serves as a perfect metaphor for exploring the principles of FLOW
- Working with “presence” and being fully engaged in the NOW
- Aligning teams to a successful group process – drumming can bring people together from diverse backgrounds and promote a lasting sense of group synergy, cooperation & accomplishment
- Energising participants - the high-energy rhythms created in a group drumming session can be the perfect complement to the mentally intensive content in a corporate workshop
- Creating “meaningful” outcomes (spontaneously) together
- Just for FUN!
