Workplace Connection Programmes
Stronger teams, built through music
Drumming and group music-making for teams going through change. Choose a programme of six or more sessions over three to six months, or a full-day workshop. Led by experienced facilitators, with no musical experience needed.
Teams that work well together don't happen by accident
Managers are stretched, change keeps arriving, and teams are being asked to adapt faster than they've had time to get to know each other. New tools and training help, but they don't give people the chance to build trust, practise listening or work through uncertainty together. Our programmes do. Your team makes music together under the guidance of experienced facilitators, and every session has a clear purpose and builds on the last. No preparation is needed from you.
The Human Connection Programme
Six or more sessions over three to six months.
Trust and good working habits build over time. The programme gives your team regular time together across several months, so that listening, adapting and speaking up become things the team practises rather than things it hears about in a training session.
Start with a taster session. If you continue with the full programme, its cost comes off the price.
The journey
Every programme is shaped around the exact needs of your team, but this is the shape of it. Each session builds on the last, so over six sessions your team practises listening, contributing, leading, following and adapting together.
1. Tune In
Arrive, settle and make music together for the first time. Simple shared rhythm, with everyone being a part of it from the start - regardless of experience.
2. Listen
In this session, teams will pay detailed attention to each other through a range of call-and-response and group rhythm activities.
3. Find Your Voice
Making sound together through drums and/or voice. No solos, no experience needed, and no one put on the spot.
4. Lead and Follow
Roles rotate, so everyone experiences both leading the group and following it.
5. Navigate Change
Through rhythmic shifts, the group adapts together - a safe rehearsal for staying in step when things change.
6. Create Together
Your team makes something of its own to share, and we reflect on the journey together.

The Day Workshop
A full day workshop for teams going through change
Restructures, mergers, new leadership and new ways of working all leave teams in a different shape from the one they had before. People are busy keeping up, and there’s rarely time to stop, work out how the team works now and agree how to move forward.
The Day Workshop gives your team that time. Away from the usual pressures, and led by experienced facilitators, your team makes music together, listens to each other, practises leading and following, and adapts as a group. The day ends with the team agreeing what it wants to take back into its work.
It suits leadership teams, new or merged teams, and any group at a moment of change. It also works as the culmination of a Connection Programme.
Held at Ammerdown Retreat Centre, or in a large space of your choice. No musical experience needed.
