Our team of talented New York based musicians and songwriters brings their expertise and passion for music to every team-building event. With a deep understanding of collaboration and creativity, we deliver programs designed to inspire and unite your team.
New York Team Songwriting Events
If you’re planning an event for ten members of a small team or you annual meeting with several hundred, our team songwriting program is a great choice. Each team is led by one of our hit-songwriter facilitators. Teams members will discover more about each other, your mission and goals as you tap into your collective creative abilities to tell your story through song. Teams compete for awards in a fun and entertaining song competition.
- As with all our events, we begin with an introduction and performance by our hit songwriters.
- Then we break everyone into groups. There’s opportunity to break into smaller sub-groups within the team breakouts.
- When each team completes their song they record and then get ready for team performances. Play shakers, tambourines, harmonica, sing back up or just be part of the group.
- The program culminates as we all gather back in the main room for team performances. Performances can take place immediately following the team breakouts or they can be held during a later event. Regardless of when teams perform, it’s always fun as you take the stage to share your original songs and compete for awards.
- Team performances with awards – everyone participates, both competing yet cheering the other teams.
- After the event: Audio recordings and lyric downloads of all your songs.
Creating songs together reflects the innovation and challenge that the Big Apple is known for. This is a great New York team building choice, one that reflects the personality of this city.
General Sessions or Keynotes
Can you get several hundred, or even a thousand people to interact, bond and create something meaningful during a large conference session? It used to be almost impossible. But with the creation of our conference and keynote programs, it’s now quite possible! For corporations, non-profits or associations, the general session slot is the perfect time to bring your constituents together to learn more about each other and their shared work experience.
- Our musical introduction will entertain and create context for the group activity as we set the stage (pardon the pun) for your large group songwriting session.
- After our program introduction, our songwriter-leaders move throughout the crowd as we get everyone involved. As ideas flow through the room, themes and lyric suggestions fill video screens. Participants share ideas via microphones and live media streams.
- Small group brainstorms and interaction – yes that still happens, even in our conference sessions! You’ll work together and then share your ideas back with the entire group.
- Along the way, there’s opportunity to play percussion, harmonicas, sing and more. This interactive song session culminates with the whole crowd on their feet as we perform and record your masterpiece.
- Audio recordings of your song will be available after your event.
The Value In Our Team Programs
- Fun and engagement – Fun is not frivolous. Quite to the contrary, fun has value. Picture yourself having fun…in that picture, are you bored? Fun and boredom are antithetical. When we establish fun as a baseline we’re guaranteeing engagement (opposite of boredom).
- Openness and communication – It’s not easy to be open in your day to day work environment. When we work with groups to help them create their songs, open conversation evolves naturally. Music provides an emotional blanket. Sort of like the blanket at your picnic, it’s a foundation that sets the stage for success. In this case the foundation is open conversation; with humor and without judgement.
- Reconnect with the positive – Every individual, every department and every organization has a unique and authentic story that describes who they are and what they do. When we cut through the noise of day to day distraction, we uncover that most people and most organizations are proud of the work they do. This is your story. When you put your narrative to music the results feel pretty good.
If you have a small group, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to see how we can work with you.
