Crescendo

In today’s fast-paced, ever-changing business climate, remaining quickly adaptable is an essential skill. Adaptation helps to maintain a team’s productivity, agility and resilience. This hands-on workshop can help. Crescendo harnesses the power of music to help teams bond and achieve the seemingly impossible. Most of us wouldn’t dream we could learn to play an instrument in less than an hour. But working together as a collective group, with everyone focused on a common goal, it is actually possible. This musical team building activity offers lots of wonderful benefits. Music is really effective at enhancing learning. It triggers the release of dopamine, which in turn inspires positive thinking and feelings of elation. And when teams make music together, it inspires unity, cooperation and synergy in a way few other experiences can. The event begins with participants listening to music played by our instructors. Imagine their faces when we explain that they’ll soon be doing the same thing. Disbelief soon turns to intrigue as instructors assign each person either a violin or a viola. They’re expertly guided through a practical lesson covering the basics, and then everyone learns the simple part they’ll be playing for the big performance. And suddenly, accompanied by a prerecorded backing track, everyone is making music – yes, real music.
