Create an upbeat spirit of community celebration!

Drumming together is a great activity for creating a sense of camaraderie and connection. But going even further, the experience of playing music within a group also teaches people to listen – even if a participant has no prior musical background. And when individuals pay attention to the full rhythm produced by their group, they actually become more aware of their own unique positions within it.

This upbeat program manages to celebrate unity and diversity at the same time, and infuse the 21st-century work environment, as well as people’s lives, with an upbeat spirit of confidence and celebration. Each participant is given their own drum or percussion instrument and they then prepare for a variety of fun facilitated activities!

We have many versions of this program for every type of team. (see below)

He kept our energy level up and gave us a brief history of drumming. I will recommend this activity for the rest of my meeting planner team!!! Thank you,"
