Business,Corporate and professional Programmes

If you are looking for a different and enjoyable way to enhance teamwork, reduce stress or enhance staff retention or maybe for a special social event to recognise a success within your business, department or organisation then an experiential group samba or african drumming percussion programme or event could be for you.

Away from the pressures of normal everyday activities people will feel free to relax, express themselves and have fun.

In addition it's a great way to build teamwork or improve motivation as everyone can be involved (there is no audience!) with little or no musical experience.

" ... our people loved the samba workshop and are still talking about it!"

What will you get out of it?

You may have people in your company, business or organisation who are under stress and may not be performing at their best. There may be an absence of teamwork and mutual support.

Participating in group percussion sessions can be a cost-effective way to improve motivation and teamwork as well as being personally rewarding and great fun.
It may even help people defend themselves from the stress and burnout that can cause them to leave their jobs. (See an article on burnout here and stress here)

Percussion in a group or team is about working together as a team, rather than individual performance, readily demonstrating the notion of 'the whole being greater than the sum of its parts'.

What will they be doing?

People learn by listening, so the attendees do not need to have any previous experience of playing an instrument or the ability to read music.
Workshops are led by a professional faciltator and includes:

	an explanation of the basics
	learning patterns for each instrument
	playing both in sections and together as a whole group
	learning visual and whistle cues for starting and stopping
	learning 'breaks' - the introduction of a different pattern, or a section playing on its own
	learning two or three different rhythms

 

 

 

How long does a programme last?

A programme could comprise a one-off workshop experience or a series of events. For example:

• a few hours

• one or two days

• lunchtime or regular lunchtime event

• a weekend

• a programme of short sessions

• beginning or conclusion of a training event , workshop or conference or as an icebreaker

The more time there is available, the more the attendees sense of teamwork will be enhanced.

Tailored Programmes

Percussion 4u understands that client companies will have their own individual requirements and particular focus such as improving team working, reducting stress, leadership development or simply as a "fun" event. With this in mind we are able to provide a tailored package to suit your needs. We can design a workshop to suit the objectives of the event, the size of the group and time available as well as providing all the instruments. If required we can organise the venue and catering as part of the package.
