Top 4 Traits of The Ideal Organiser Team Music loves

After being in the team-building industry for 10 years, and tirelessly liaising with hundreds of corporate organizers who are working hard for their team engagements, we at Team Music have found the top 4 broad traits of an organizer who is truly successful in organizing their event and whom we love to work with. Today, we would like to share these traits with you and describe our ideal organizer.

For this blog, let’s have some fun and call our ideal organizer Isabella. She works for the company Phutures, which is a Multi-National Corporation (MNC) in the digital asset space that has a growing presence in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. She has been tasked to plan the next APAC meeting along with a team engagement activity for 200pax in Singapore at a hotel ballroom at Marina Bay Sands (MBS). The team activity has to be relaxing, with no pressure, yet able to bring to life the corporate values of Phutures, which are:

  • Keep learning 
  • Be quick to communicate
  • Create positive moments each day

Let’s track her journey with us! 

 

1) Clear

Isabella does a Google search on “teambuilding Singapore” and very soon discovers us, Team Music, here. She checks out our Google reviews and is convinced that we are going to be one of the companies that she is going to work with.

She immediately contacts us via the contact form, giving us full details and expectations as per request. These include budget, date, location, purpose, etc.

Isabella represents her company aptly by stating clearly the corporate values of Phutures. To give us a better understanding of her company and team-building objectives, she gives clear references to official website links and past experiences of how these values ‘played out’ in previous team-building activities, such as perfume making, painting, etc

Within 24 hours, Isabella receives an official proposal quotation from Team Music. Given the weight of this 200pax event, she needs to iron out all the doubts and questions she has on her mind. She jots them down and proceeds to schedule an online meeting to sort the details out with us, with questions such as: 

  1. Is this program suited for beginners? 
  2. I have a few pregnant ladies on my team. Do we have something for them so they don’t feel left out? etc. 

Not only is she decisive about what she and her company’s goals for this event are, but she is now also CLEAR on what to expect for her team-building session with us and what we need of her to make the event a success. Thus, along with the proposals from other vendors, she now presents these options to her boss. 

 

2) Collaborative 

Isabella has a huge mission of uniting and engaging 200pax in the same room; not just physically, but spiritually, emotionally, and mentally as well. Firstly, has to make this year’s event even better than the one last year because that is what the boss wants. Moreover, the whole APAC team has not met for 3 years, no thanks to the pandemic. Lastly, countless changes to staffing have occurred during the pandemic period. People need a powerful reason to engage. 

Isabella needs a task force, an advanced party of sorts, to tackle all the details of this big event. She forms a team and allocates the venue booking, event day announcement, F&B, program flow, attendance-taking, etc to various team members to get things going.

Despite the immense pressure to keep everything in check, Isabella knows very well that the one thing she cannot fully allocate or control is Team Music’s or any other vendors’ program. She is also not a subject matter expert in music, much less for big groups. She has to have a certain level of trust in Team Music to seriously commit to us as a vendor. 

Eventually, her Boss decides on Team Music’s signature program BANDINC. (He used to be a guitarist in his high school band ^_^) Isabella sends a confirmation email and logistical information such as floorplan and band requirements, ready to collaborate with us to get this gig going. 

Unfortunately, Team Music’s setup process (3 hours) will cut into her planned lunch segment, requiring us to shorten our setup duration. There will also be another segment following Team Music’s program (3 hours, 2 songs) that requires more time. This caused some friction in the planning process as there was a need to readjust the timings, yet still complete the objective of completing 2 songs. Both parties want their requirements met, and at the same time accommodate the other party. After much discussion, Isabella and Team Music compromised on a 2.5-hour setup time and 2.5-hour program time to accommodate subsequent activities.

Knowing that Team Music has 10 years of team-building experience, she is assured that the success of her team’s event is not only plausible but also in good hands. This also allows us to proceed with the essence of our program intact, providing us with the confidence to execute it well. There was a sense of partnership, working together to build the event. She is constantly thinking and facilitating a win-win-win outcome for her team, Team Music, and finally her position as an organizer. Moving forward, she relies much on us for advice on the best song choices, band instrument setup, etc. 

 

3) Commitment

As the date of the event approaches, the deal needs to be sealed. Isabella deals respectfully with Team Music according to the terms and conditions of the quotation. Confirmation of the event was done with a 50% deposit payment to book instruments, mover, and facilitators. 

Even though the event has been confirmed, there seems to be a drop in the expected headcount for the event over time, a typical symptom of large-scale events. While worrying about the numbers being reduced further, Isabella contemplates calling Team Music’s program off. However, the more she thinks about it, the more she realizes that this move will not only affect her and her team but Team Music as well. There will be a need to re-coordinate efforts and make adjustments to schedules on both ends. She understands that she should only call the event off as a last resort, therefore she pushes on with the plan.

The day arrives, and Isabella executes her event. She is mentally aware of the rough outline of Team Music’s 2.5-hour program, and even though there are some lingering doubts, she gives Team Music full autonomy to work the magic. She does remind Team Music that her corporate values have to be brought to life in the band program, which we wholeheartedly comply with.

As an event-planning company, we face unforeseen circumstances, similar to any other organizer who plans events for their teams. For Isabella, some variables were not under her control. Despite this, she kept to what was agreed to provide a wonderful experience for her team, and we would have done the same for her if we were in her shoes. 

Needless to say, the event was a hit!

 

4) Change

Isabella has displayed a good level of adaptability throughout her journey thus far. She is open to changes in the planning and execution phases, being able to compromise on timing clashes and finding a solution that is beneficial to both her team and Team Music.

She can adjust her expectations according to what Team Music can offer as well. This is shown through her trust in us to be able to meet the objectives and deliver an unforgettable experience. The autonomy helps both her team and Team Music to co-develop the event together.

During the event itself, issues arise that challenge Isabelle and Team Music. When the morning meetings get delayed, setup time has to be shortened. She prioritizes tackling the issue first, communicating with Team Music, her task force, as well as her boss on a realistic timeline in real time of what to expect. She also coordinates with her team to assist Team Music in setting up. As a result, the setup happens at breakneck speed.

Finally, Team Music’s program starts and ends within the agreed time. It is well-received by all 200pax, her task force, and her boss. 

Here’s a positive moment in action 

 

In essence, Isabella was resourceful, trusting, and respectful in all her business dealings and communications with her task force, her boss as well as Team Music. This ensured a smooth transition from the start of the planning to the end of the execution. Along the way, Team Music also got to be part of the journey and enjoyed the process as well.

We know that there are many Isabellas out there, and we look forward to working with you very soon ^_^

Today, we will be bringing you an in-depth guide on how you can organize a large-scale event. Let’s go!

Who are my attendees? 

The nature of an event can vary widely depending on the target audience. They set the core purpose of your event, on which the content of the event will be built to drive that purpose home. Below are some of the common types of attendees and the various intentions of companies for organizing an event for them:

Types of attendees

Purpose

Employees

-Increase cohesion between employees 

-Improve communication and collaboration within and between departments/branches

Customers

-Establish connections with customers and partners 

-Strengthen relationships between the company and the public

-Build brand awareness

Prospective employees

-Showcase the culture and values of the company

-Attract new talent as well as veterans of the industry

-Demonstrate the benefits of working for the company

Industry experts and speakers

-Provide attendees with valuable professional development opportunities

-Learn and grow from new information and different perspectives

Media representatives

-Showcase their brand and culture to a wider audience (Local and Global outreach)

-Promote the company and its achievements

Sponsors and vendors

-Collaborate and expand the company’s network with sponsors and vendors 

-Create mutually beneficial relationships and promote products and services.

 

Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Events (MICE)

Another way to understand the collective purpose of your attendees is by understanding a huge industry known as Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events (MICE).

The term MICE is often used in the tourism and event planning industries to refer to the business of organizing and coordinating events for corporate clients and other organizations.

In our shared experience as an event planner for large groups, we have regularly planned for the following groups: 

  1. Entire school administration team – Principal, Vice-principals, School teachers, Administrators, Support Staff
  2. APAC (Asia-Pacific) Sales team members – Performing as a BIG BAND, celebrating their sales success for the year
  3. MNCs – Celebrating working face-to-face again, having not seen one another for the Covid years 2020-2022
  4. MNCs – Want a loud kickstart to a brand new work year

 

Why plan for such a BIG event?

Planning a fun large-scale event for your colleagues can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, offering a number of benefits both for the individual organizers and for the company as a whole. The importance of corporate team-building activities cannot be underestimated. Some of the key rewards of organizing a large-scale team event include:

  1. Out of COVID blues: During the COVID lockdown, mass gathering and music (especially singing) was greatly discouraged, even punishable. Now that we are out of COVID, it’s the best time to have a loud celebration.  
  2. Improved team morale: Bringing lots of people together for a fun, enjoyable event can help to build strong bonds, foster a positive working environment, and improve overall team morale.
  3. Enhanced communication: Large-scale events provide an opportunity for people from different departments and teams to interact and collaborate, leading to enhanced communication and better cross-functional working relationships.
  4. Boosted company culture: By providing employees with opportunities to socialize and have fun together, companies can promote a positive company culture and foster a sense of belonging among employees.
  5. Increased productivity: When employees feel valued and supported, they are more likely to be motivated, engaged, and productive. By organizing fun and enjoyable team-building activities, companies can help to boost employee morale and increase overall productivity.
  6. Stronger company brand: By showcasing the company culture and values through an enjoyable and well-organized event, companies can enhance their brand and reputation, increase visibility, attract new talent, and build stronger relationships with employees, customers, and partners.
  7. Instill ROCK-SOLID Corporate values through play and interaction. Team Music reinforces the 4Cs of Effective Teamwork: 
    1. Clarity of Roles 
    2. Collaboration
    3. Commitment to finish the job
    4. Change management

 

Overall, the rewards of planning a fun large-scale event for your colleagues are many and can have a lasting impact on both individual employees and the company as a whole. By carefully planning and executing a memorable event, organizations can build stronger teams, foster a positive company culture, and promote a successful and thriving business.

 

Who do you choose as your official event planner? 

Large-scale team events can be a powerful tool for bringing people together, fostering team building, and promoting company culture. However, they also come with their own unique set of challenges that need to be carefully managed in order to ensure the event is a success. From budget constraints to logistics, coordination, safety and security, attendee expectations, and technical issues, there are many different factors that need to be considered before you choose the right event planner. In this article, we will take a closer look at these challenges and explore some of the ways in which they can be overcome.

Here are some steps to help you choose the best external vendor for your event:

  1. Begin with the end in mind: Determine your event goals. Before you start looking for an organizer, it’s important to understand what you want to achieve from the event. A sample checklist should include:
    • Theme – eg. Rockstars? 
    • Music playlist – No big event runs without the right music 🙂
    • Humor
    • Uniqueness & Quirky ideas
    • Fun interactive engagement. Hack boredom? 
    • Easy to conduct or participate 
    • Takeaways
    • Budget 
  1. Reputation: Start by searching for event organizers who specialize in large-scale events, and read their website, case studies, and testimonials from past clients.
  2. Ask for references: Ask potential organizers for references from past clients, and be sure to reach out to those references to ask about their experiences working with the organizer.
  3. Consider the organizer’s experience: Make sure the organizer you choose has experience planning and executing large scale events. Consider their track record and the types of events they have organized in the past. Watch their sample videos of past events to get a better feel of the whole group event atmosphere. 
  4. Evaluate their communication and project management skills: Look for an organizer who has strong communication and project management skills, as these are critical to ensuring the success of your event.
  5. Consider their team: Consider the size and experience of the organizer’s team, and make sure they have the resources, equipment and expertise needed to plan and execute your event.
  6. Consider your own available budget and the cost: Be sure to discuss budget and cost considerations with potential organizers, and make sure you understand what services and support you will receive for the cost that you pay. 

 

What are the possible event ideas?

There are many fun team activities for large groups that can bring team members together and help build teamwork and camaraderie. Here are some popular activities for large groups:

  1. Escape room: Teams work together to solve puzzles and find clues to escape from a themed room.
  2. Cooking or baking challenge: Teams work together to create a meal or baked goods using a set of ingredients or recipe
  3. Team building scavenger hunt: Teams compete to complete a series of challenges and find hidden items around a designated area.
  4. Sports tournament: Teams compete against each other in a variety of sports, such as basketball, soccer, or dodgeball.
  5. Game night: Teams compete against each other in a variety of board games or video games.
  6. Trivia Challenge: Teams compete against each other in a trivia contest covering a range of topics.
  7. Talent Showcase: Teams perform skits, songs, or dances for their colleagues. Check out BANDINC (link) 
  8. Art or craft challenge: Teams work together to create a masterpiece using art or craft materials.
  9. Outdoor adventure: Teams participate in outdoor activities such as rock climbing, zip lining, or kayaking.
  10. Volunteer work: Teams participate in volunteer work or community service projects to give back to their local community.
Do any of these activities allow for meaningful break-out teams? 

Breakout groups are small groups of participants who are separated from the larger group to engage in focused discussions or activities. Here are some of the key advantages of using breakout groups in events and meetings:

  1. Increased participation and engagement: Breakout groups allow for smaller and more intimate discussion settings, which can encourage increased participation and engagement from attendees.
  2. Diverse perspectives: By breaking the group into smaller, more diverse subgroups, attendees can hear different perspectives and ideas from a wider range of participants.
  3. Improved collaboration and teamwork: Working in smaller groups can foster better collaboration and teamwork among participants, as they are able to work more closely with each other and build relationships.
  4. Enhanced creativity and problem-solving: In breakout groups, attendees have the opportunity to brainstorm, develop new ideas, and solve problems together in a supportive and creative environment.
  5. More focused discussions: Breaking the group into smaller subgroups allows for more focused discussions on specific topics or issues, which can lead to more meaningful and productive outcomes.
  6. Opportunity for hands-on learning: Breakout groups can also provide opportunities for hands-on learning, where attendees can put new knowledge or skills into practice in a supportive environment.
  7. Better understanding of different perspectives: Breaking the group into smaller subgroups can help attendees better understand the perspectives and opinions of others, which can lead to more effective communication and collaboration in the future.

By incorporating breakout groups into events and meetings, organizers can create a more dynamic and engaging experience for attendees, while also improving collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity.

With our main program, BANDINC, we separate the roles of a 100pax BAND this way: 

100pax Band Setup :

  • 9 Drummers
  • 18 Percussionists
  • 4 Bassists
  • 4 Guitarists
  • 41 Ukulelists
  • 9 Keyboardists
  • 15 Singers

Just be extra careful. Choosing the large group activity may have several negative effects, including:

  1. Overshoot Budget: One of the biggest apprehensions for event organizers is managing the budget for the event. Ensuring that all expenses are accounted for and that the event is delivered within the set budget can be a major concern.
  2. Attendee engagement: Ensuring that attendees are engaged and involved in the event is a top priority for event organizers. Failing to keep attendees interested and active can result in a lack of success for the event.
  3. Technical difficulties: Technology is a key component of many corporate events, and technical difficulties can be a major source of apprehension for event organizers. Ensuring that all technology, including audio-visual equipment, lighting, and sound, is in good working order and that there are backup plans in place in case of technical issues is important.
  4. Logistics: Coordinating the logistics of a corporate event, including transportation, accommodations, and venue arrangements, can be a major concern for event organizers. Ensuring that all logistics are in place and that attendees have a seamless experience can be challenging.
  5. Safety and security: Ensuring the safety and security of attendees, staff, and equipment is a top priority for event organizers. Anticipating and preparing for potential security risks and having contingency plans in place are important.
  6. Timing and scheduling: Ensuring that the event runs on schedule and that all activities and presentations are delivered as planned is a major apprehension for event organizers. Having a solid schedule in place and contingency plans for unexpected changes is important.
  7. Unforeseen events: Unexpected events, such as weather conditions, equipment failures, or speaker cancellations, can be a source of apprehension for event organizers. Being prepared for such events and having contingency plans in place can help mitigate these risks.

Overall, event organizers need to have a well-planned strategy in place and be prepared to tackle any challenges that may arise during the event. Proper planning, attention to detail, and contingency planning can help ensure the success of the event and reduce apprehensions.

When evaluating the suitability of a venue for a large event, there are several factors to consider to ensure the venue is a good fit for your needs. Here are some steps to help you evaluate the suitability of a venue for your large event:

 

Where is the best event venue?

  1. Determine your event needs: Before you start evaluating venues, it’s important to understand your specific event needs, including the number of attendees, the type of event, and any specific requirements you may have.
  2. Location and accessibility: Consider the location of the venue, and make sure it’s easily accessible for your attendees. Also, consider the availability of public parking, complimentary parking, and public transportation options. The event venue manager should be ready to provide a floor plan of the stage and floor area.
    • At Team Music, we mark out the positionings of our music and sound equipment on the floor plan given.
  3. Space and capacity: Make sure the venue has enough space to accommodate your event, including the number of attendees and any additional requirements, such as a stage, dance floor, or vendor booths.
  4. Amenities: Consider the amenities offered by the venue, such as restrooms, Wi-Fi, audio-visual equipment, and lighting. Make sure the venue has the necessary amenities to meet your needs.
  5. Safety and security: Evaluate the safety and security measures in place at the venue, including fire exits, emergency lighting, and first-aid facilities.
  6. Food and beverage options: If your event will include meals or snacks, consider the food and beverage options offered by the venue, and make sure they meet your needs and budget.
  7. Technical support: If your event will include audio-visual or technical equipment, consider the technical support offered by the venue, and make sure they have the necessary equipment and expertise to meet your needs. Technology is an integral part of modern events, but it can also be a source of problems. Technical issues such as power outages, audio-visual failures, or connectivity problems can disrupt an event and negatively impact the attendee experience. Have a check with your event planner to recce the event hall along with the in-house technicians or operator. 
  8. Cost: Consider the cost of the venue, and make sure it fits within your budget. Be sure to consider all associated costs, such as parking, food and beverage, and technical support. A detailed discussion with your event planner even over Zoom if time doesn’t allow face-to-face meetup, would be helpful for both parties before a formal program proposal and quotation is served to you. 

 

When is the best time to do this? 

Large-scale team meetings are normally arranged at various times throughout the year, depending on the specific goals and needs of the organization. Some common times for arranging large-scale team meetings include:

  1. Annually: Many organizations arrange an annual large-scale team meeting to bring employees together for team building, training, and other activities.
  2. Seasonally: Some organizations may arrange large-scale team meetings at specific times throughout the year, such as during the summer or the holiday season, to celebrate achievements and reinforce company culture.
  3. When there is a need for change or reorganization: Large-scale team meetings may also be arranged when there is a need for significant change or reorganization within the organization, such as a merger or acquisition, to provide employees with important updates and information.
  4. To launch new products or initiatives: Organizations may arrange large-scale team meetings to launch new products or initiatives, providing an opportunity for employees to learn about and get involved in new projects.
  5. To recognize achievements: Large-scale team meetings may also be arranged to recognize the achievements of employees and teams, and to provide opportunities for celebration and recognition.

 

Full-day or Half-day event?

Deciding whether to host a full-day or half-day event can be challenging and depends on several factors. Here are some considerations to keep in mind when making this decision:

  1. Purpose of the event: The purpose of the event is a crucial factor to consider when deciding on the length of the event. If the event is focused on learning or training, a full-day event may be more appropriate to provide enough time for in-depth content and discussion. On the other hand, if the event is focused on networking or an awards ceremony, a half-day event may be sufficient.
  2. Attendee schedules: Consider the schedules of the attendees when deciding on the length of the event. If attendees are busy professionals with limited time, a half-day event may be more appealing. However, if attendees are on vacation or have a more flexible schedule, a full-day event may be a better option.
  3. Budget constraints: The budget is another important factor to consider when deciding on the length of the event. Full-day events typically require more resources, including catering, venue rental, and entertainment, which can increase the cost of the event.
  4. Location: The location of the event can also impact the decision of whether to host a full-day or half-day event. If the event is being held in a remote location, attendees may appreciate a full-day event that allows them to take advantage of their time in the area. On the other hand, if the event is being held in a busy city, attendees may prefer a half-day event that allows them to explore the city in their free time.
  5. Energy levels: The energy levels of the attendees and the content of the event can also impact the decision of whether to host a full-day or half-day event. If the event involves intensive activities or requires a high level of focus and energy, a half-day event may be more appropriate.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to host a full-day or half-day event should be based on the specific needs and goals of the event, as well as the schedules, budgets, and preferences of the attendees. It may be helpful to gather feedback from attendees and stakeholders to determine the best option for your event.

 

How do we ensure this big event runs smoothly? 

  1. Trust your event organizer: They have probably conducted this event many times, especially since they have a reputation for specializing in a certain unique form of team-building event for large groups.
    • At Team Music, we strongly recommend our clients choose from our tried and tested BANDINC song lists. They are guaranteed to work. We can’t vouch for the new songs that perhaps your bosses might want. There is a high risk it may not work, depending on the complexity of the song.
  2. Assemble an organizing committee: Clear roles and responsibilities have to be specified for each team member
  3. Attendee registration and check-in: Event management systems such as Cvent can help streamline the registration process, reducing wait times and improving the overall check-in experience for attendees.
  4. Event scheduling and planning: AI algorithms can help event organizers schedule and plan the various activities, ensuring the most efficient use of resources and minimizing any scheduling conflicts. Here at Team Music, we primarily start adding organizers and representatives 1-2 weeks before a large-scale event, to our Google calendar and/or Whatsapp group chat to clearly state the entire event expectations and flow. 
  5. Personalized recommendations: AI-powered systems can analyze attendee data to provide personalized recommendations for activities, speakers, and networking opportunities.
  6. Event analytics: AI-powered tools can help event organizers analyze attendee data, such as event attendance, demographics, and engagement levels, to better understand their audience and improve future events.
  7. Virtual and hybrid events: AI can be used to power virtual and hybrid events, allowing attendees to interact with each other and with event content in real time. AI-powered tools can also help event organizers manage virtual attendees, such as moderating chat rooms and answering attendee questions.
  8. Event marketing and promotion: AI can help event organizers reach their target audience by analyzing data and providing insights on the best channels to promote their event.

 

Everyone happy at the end

Despite these challenges, organizing a large-scale team event can be an extremely rewarding and fulfilling HIGH experience. By being well-prepared, having clear goals, and working with a team of dedicated professionals, it is possible to overcome these challenges and create an event that is memorable, enjoyable, and successful for EVERYONE! 

The reward and satisfaction of a large-scale event organizer can be quite substantial and can come from a variety of sources. Some of the most common rewards and sources of satisfaction for event organizers include:

  1. Successful execution: The biggest reward for an event organizer is the successful execution of the event. When all the planning and hard work come together, and the event runs smoothly, it can be a huge source of satisfaction and pride for the organizer.
  2. Positive feedback: Receiving positive feedback from attendees, clients, and other stakeholders can be a significant source of satisfaction for event organizers. Knowing that people enjoyed the event, appreciated the effort put in, and had a good time can be incredibly rewarding.
  3. Financial compensation: Many event organizers work as freelancers or run their own businesses, so financial compensation is a key reward. Receiving payment for their services, especially when it reflects the value they bring to the event, can be a major source of satisfaction.
  4. Building a network: Large-scale events can be great opportunities for event organizers to network and make new connections. Building relationships with clients, vendors, attendees, and other stakeholders can provide long-lasting rewards and help advance the organizer’s career.
  5. Making a difference: For some event organizers, the satisfaction of making a difference in their communities is a key reward. Organizing events that raise awareness, bring people together, or have a positive impact on society can be a source of deep satisfaction and fulfillment.

“Kudos to Daniel and the TEAMMusic team for making our team building activity so memorable! We were intrigued by the possibility of people with no musical background coming together to form a rock band. Definitely recommend if you want a positively surprising experience together!”

Sarah-Jane Chua, Changi Airport Group

Excellent workshop conducted by Team Music. Would recommend them for any company cohesion events!

We had such a great time and the facilitators were very friendly and patient. We were amazed that we managed to play as a band in such a short period of time, even when most of us have absolutely no musical background at all. Definitely the best team building activity we’ve done as a company. Thank you Team Music!

ATIQAH H. from IDEA LABORATORY

I have attended various team building events before and this is one of the best so far. The level of participation, energy and fun was high, and everyone enjoyed themselves.We were pleasantly surprised that we can produce a song with majority of us not having any musical background. The crew were highly professional throughout the event.
– Sean Yeo from LEGO

“On behalf of the team, I would like to thank you, especially to Eugene and team for providing us with such an enjoyable and memorable corporate event.”

Joyce TENG,  L’Oreal SAPAC Operations/Finance/ IT Division

This is a very innovative team building activity! My colleagues and I had a great time with Team Music and we worked together to produce two music videos. Kudos to Ryann and his team for his excellent service. Thank you Team music for the wonderful experience!!
Ryan Tan

“Team Music as its name implies – building teams through the innovative medium of music. Regardless of age or musical ability – everyone can participate as a team and have fun as well. Kudos to Team Music.”

Eric Teo l Senior Director (Corporate Services) l Republic Polytechnic

“A big thank you to Team Music for facilitating a fun-filled session of music making with our ONE Changi participants! We set Team Music the challenge of teaching our participants a band version of our corporate song, and Team Music certainly delivered. Your facilitators were energetic, professional and patient. All of us were impressed that we could perform the song so well eventually, even without any prior music experience. It was a powerful session which bonded our participants together, and instilled a greater sense of teamwork among us. We received much positive feedback from our participants as they thoroughly enjoyed the session.
Wonderful experience, will strongly recommend.”

Renee Gan, Assistant Manager l Quality Service Management l Airport Operations Division

Team Music gave everyone the opportunity to learn something new and bond over music. The activity allowed us to have fun and create wonderful music as a group. Towards the end, it gave our management team a sense of accomplishment in playing together as a band. More importantly, it highlighted the value of keeping an open mind in learning new skills and working together to achieve great results.

Team Music facilitated the session with much gusto and energy, spreading positive vibes to everyone in the room. They patiently guided each member of the group to play their assigned musical instruments, and the results were better than expected.

We are sincerely grateful to Team Music for providing us the chance to relax and enjoy each other’s company. It was a productive activity for all of us!

Thank you

Christopher Daguimol, Regional PR Director

We had a rocking good time at Team Music ! You were very engaging, fun & professional. Their ice breaking was great. We had no prior musical instrument experience but we learn through making mistakes. By having no reservations on mistaking mistakes, we actually become better faster and could play 2 entire songs in 3 hours with their patient guidance ! Eugene also captured many wonderful photos & videos to share with our team. It was really a unique experience for us & our team is still talking about it today ! We could not have asked for a better team building activity !

“The Rocking Ninjas”

from OBI, Singapore Management University

“Thank you Team Music for the awesome, fun and engaging team building experience. Even though many of our team members did not have musical background or experience, we were able to pick up real musical instruments and amazingly perform songs together as a band! Kudos to Team Music for putting together this excellent program, as well as our fun and friendly band facilitators – Eugene and team for their guidance and patience throughout the session. We highly recommend Team Music for your next team building event J”

Lim Jia Hao :: Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR)

We would like to thank Team Music for making our teambuilding activity this year so engaging and fun. In a short span of three hours, we were able to complete not two, but three different songs even though most of us had little to no music background. It was interesting to try out various instruments such as the drums, electric bass and ukulele and all of us were truly entertained by one another throughout the session – evidently with the endless laughter! We took it all in good humour, of course  This was definitely an unforgettable experience. All the best!

Desirae Chong, Corporate Affairs, Citi Singapore

Thank you Team Music for the teambuilding we had. It had been a great experience.
The session, though short, provided a meaningful platform and opportunity for the team to work closely together to achieve a project. The facilitators were skillful, humorous and engaging. The idea of having the photos and videos taken of our team in action was also a welcome addition as we could relive the wonderful experience even after the session. 

James Lim, Manager of Volunteer Development & Partnerships of a local multiservice charity

“On behalf of my colleagues, many thanks to you, Eugene and your wonderful team for providing us with such a special enjoyable afternoon and memorable interaction on 11.11.2016. Your team members are very engaging and really got the group involved. We laughed and non-stop the entire time! Your team energy, personality, enthusiasm and professionalism created the perfect combination. Our entire group had a wonderful time, for a great cause and your team captured so many great pictures and videos for me to share with everyone. Thank you once again for providing such an entertaining day, everyone really enjoyed themselves. You guys surpassed our expectations!”

Bee Yen from Marketing, Keppel Land International Limited

Having 18 persons in the team, we had considered many activities that could suit our team-building objective during our planning. No doubt, we had made a right choice and no regret to choose Team Music to end our day after an intensive workshop in the morning. It was an amazing experience to play the music together especially for those people without any music background.

Team Music demonstrated that everyone should be equally important in a team although some could be in faster pace but some might not; the event definitely met our purpose. I highly recommend Team Music to anyone for a team-bonding event, as I think this is one of the great ways to bond your team. Thank you Team Music!

Noel Lee, Unilever Asia

Team Music’s BandInc teambuilding challenge was novel and engaging. It was amazing that our team – many of us have minimal musical background – were able to work together, play and record 2 songs using real instruments within 2 hours. We even managed to switch instruments for the 2nd song. Truly an enjoyable experience for the team! Thanks also to our extremely friendly and patient facilitators, Eugene & Mirud.

Pauline LIM | Visa Worldwide

50+ of us took part in a department retreat which included an afternoon of cohesion activities. When the organiser of this outing first told me that we were going to learn to perform as a band, my interest was piqued. The symbolism of being able to perform as a coherent, coordinated outfit was very appropriate especially when teamwork is a key part of any high performing team. But I wasn’t fully convinced it was possible.

Daniel and his team surprised us by firstly ensuring we were relaxed and laughing. Through a series of steps he managed to organise us into teams and before long we were having a great time laughing, enjoying and feeling really satisfied that we were indeed playing as a complex-seeming highly coordinated band. Some of us were drummers, others guitarists, others base, yet others keyboardists, all with no prior knowledge of how to play these instruments.

The energy and closeness we felt and still feel speaks volumes for the efficacy of the activity. I will happily  do this again. It was a great afternoon out; time well spent!

Mike, Medical Affairs (Education), National University Hospital

“We achieved our objective of the day – FUN.

My colleagues and I enjoyed the jam and crash times by coming together to learn new musical instruments.  8 out of 10 of us have no music background, which makes the jamming room filled with laughter and tease.  Coming from someone with music background, I realized that it is even tougher to play an instrument together because there are coordination, trust and mutual understanding within the team/partner.  We also learn we can do it as long as we put our mind and most importantly, enjoy the process.  So the jamming definitely bring us closer together as a group.

Of course the facilitators play an important part, TeamMusic makes the learning fun and simple.  I will recommend TeamMusic to any Companies who want to have a teambuilding day.”

Shimona Wong, Associate Director, SGX

It was really a fun team building training through this musical platform. I had attended many team building training through cooking class, game, class room lesson, etc but yours still the best which I admired your talent & creativity. I will definitely share & introduce your training to my contact. Keep up the excellent work.   

Sum Yew Foo (the who only can sing & sing two songs)
Operations Manager, Pioneer Junior College

This music-making exercise has been an effective and enjoyable way of learning to appreciate the integral and unique role which every member of a working community can play in the service of a shared goal. Regardless of how musically proficient we were individually, all of us were made to feel comfortable; and for some of our colleagues it meant a lot to be able to handle – and play! – musical instruments for the first time. Great fun!

World Vision, Singapore

I would like to say thank you to whole Team Music Team.They have provided us with a unique team building experience, where each of our team member could actively participate and give a critical contribution to the band.Daniel and his staff were friendly, approachable, and immediately transferred basic musical skills to all of us. Within few hours we could play 2 songs!They have created a fun environment where all team members felt at ease. They encouraged us all the time, and got the best of us.I do recommend Team Music for an energizing experience where your team can learn how to operate better together while having lots of fun. Thanks!

 

OSVALDO PERFIDO
COACH L DIRECTOR HR – COACH SEA, OCEANIA & TW

This was one of the best team building activity I & my team had ever had (and we have joined many other activities before). Before trying the activity, we were worried that it might not be very fun as all of us don’t know anything about music – not even the songs’ names. But it turned out to be a lot of fun as everyone was so excited when they first played the drums, the guitars, the keyboards etc. And thanks to Daniel’s friendliness and easy-to-get instructions, we all can form a band and had lots of fun with the activity. Definitely I will recommend this activity to anyone I know who is looking for a fun thing to do in Singapore. It’s a must try!

Minh Châu Lê Nguyễn, Procter & Gamble International

 

Thank you Team Music for a wonderful team-building activity. The team was so pumped that we created our own rock band in less than 2 hours. What really differentiates Team Music is the spirit of collaboration and “oneness” that we took away unlike other team building activities which are more competitive.

I highly recommend Team Music!

SaiAparajitha Gopalakrishnan, Procter & Gamble

“It was a great team experience and the facilitator did a wonderful job facilitating our session. We learned to get comfortable with things we were unfamiliar with and working together with our designated partners. A learning experience unlike others.”

Sean Lau, from Office of Advancement, Singapore University of Technology & Design

“This is a truly out of the box team building exercise for the team, who would have known that we all have a hidden musical talent in us! Your team has been really patient with us, we are such a big group to handle and yet you’ve managed to give us such a fun and enriching experience. Well done, team! Thank you again for such a wonderful afternoon.”

Serena Yong, Managing Director of HP PPS Singapore (Sales) Pte. Ltd.

Everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly. We were initially slightly intimidated by the instruments since most of us were not inclined musically, but this proved to be unnecessary worries as everyone was rocking the place down by the end of the session. Great concept for a team-building activity and definitely highly recommended!

– Jonathan Ong, Yahoo!

For a team that has done numerous team building events, TEAM MUSIC exceeded our expectations and conducted an extremely engaging and enjoyable session for all of us at Sennheiser Asia. The facilitators were highly professional and played an integral role in making this activity possible even for the music amateurs. Highly recommended!

Ada Yen, Sennheiser Asia

“Your guys are truly awesome to work with and you definitely make our spirit come to life! We had so much laughters and everyone was so keen to try out different instruments. It was truly successful teambuilding for bringing folks together. I got great feedbacks from the leaders that they want to bring their own team to do it again. It makes me understand how each team member plays an important role in an organisation in regardless of what position he holds.”

– Mag Ng, Gartner Advisory (S) Pte Ltd

It was awesome, something that we least expected that without any musical background, we still are able to make a music band. Definitely require a great team effort to make it happen. Everyone was so immersed in the music and have enjoyed the whole event tremendously. For once, I have thought that I was in a band group and put my heart into playing the instrument that I have been assigned to. This event has made me realised that as long as everyone makes an effort and heart to do it, we are able to do it as a team. In short, everyone is important in the team to make it happen.

– Sue Cheng, SP PowerGrid Ltd

It was the perfect teambuilding event… reinforcing critical personal and team values for success and FUN!

Lori Schneider, Sabic FANAR & Team Lead

 

Everyone really enjoyed being a “musician”.  This was one of the best team building event we’ve had. Cheers.

Lin Lin Tan, Sabic

 

A wonderful experience and an excellent team building activity, like no other. You made it so easy even without prior experience with musical instruments. Loved by everyone… I received great feedback from leaders and team. By the end of the night, everyone understood the importance of team effort for success but most importantly they enjoyed themselves. 80 people to create music and learn 2 songs in 2 hours was no mean feat! Congratulations to Team Music on a job well done.

Faudziah Omar, Sabic

“Engaging, invigorating and downright fun. Highly recommended if you are looking to put some grooves into your team dynamics.”

Marcus Lim, Citibank

This was simply a FUN way of engaging one another and the spirit of team work to make it work was great! We had so much fun and it is truly a miracle that with everyone’s contribution a unseemingly impossible task was completed and we were able to play instruments and formed a band! You guys are awesome 🙂

Charmaine Tan-Widjaja
Assistant Manager – Customer Service

Daniel from Team Music was wonderful to work with. He is willing to listen to what the client’s needs are and does his utmost best to ensure that the day is a success. His team are filled with talented, enthusiastic individuals who carried out the day’s programme with gusto. My colleagues and I had a blast as it was truly a fun-filled, unique experience for everyone. More importantly, they managed to link it back to the theme we were going for too at the end of the day and that was an eye-opener for many.

Highly recommended as it is a fruitful, unique experience for all! Plus, we get to rock out too 

Thanks Team Music!

Sadie-Jane NUNIS
SIM Society Retreat Team Leader 2017

“We had an absolute blast! Eugene, the lead facilitator, made the whole event extremely fun and engaging for everyone. The facilitators were very professional and patient teaching us from scratch. Even though some of us did not have experience playing musical instruments, we managed to play the songs and synchronize as a band. It made us realize the power of a team, the difference good teamwork can make and the importance of every team member! Overall, the event was very well received by the staff from SCRI. Thank you Team Music for delivering a wondering activity!”

Lisa Tan, Head of Corporate Affairs,  Singapore Clinical Research Institute Pte Ltd

Thank you very much for organising the Corporate Band Teambuilding Program for Sunglass Hut S.E. Asia Pte Ltd on 24 March 2017.

The event certainly brings forward two of our key components for this year, which is teamwork and togetherness. What seemed like an impossible task of having 20 people stuck in a studio with no musical background at all, given 3 hours to play 2 songs really feels like a stretch.

However, with the patience and passion of the facilitators, Reuel and team, the activity not only brought out the hidden musical talent (no matter how small or almost non-existent it may be) that we have, but also most importantly, having lots of fun meeting our key objectives for the day!

Thus, the concept of togetherness and teamwork really shines here because without it, each instrument will not be able to collaborate and each note and rhythm will run their separate ways….and having lots of fun doing it!

Thank you again to you and your team. Perhaps next time, an intermediate or semi-professional level next? J Thanks Heaps

Asni Bin Sani, Training Manager, Sunglass Hut Southeast Asia Pte Ltd

We had fantastic music experience with Team Music.  Despite change of event schedule,
Team Music provided strong support to coordinate the venue and facility.
Thanks for organizing a great 3-hours team building activity for us.
It’s full of surprise and fun. Our staff enjoy learning of music instrument  and watching the music video we made together. Amazing experience!! Thank you , Team Music.

Anna Yang
Cabot Microelectronics Singapore

We were looking for a nice activity in creating team bonding and having some fun together, Team Music offered us an impeccable solution. We really had much fun and were amazed that we finally played together a wonderful music as a band without any music experience. Thanks so much Mirud and team for a wonderful job in leading us through energizing coaching technique with a glimpse of challenging in role switching. The session really entertained and simultaneously engaged us in stupendous teamwork principle. “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller

THANK YOU, SALAMAT, DHANYAVAAD, XIEXIE KOB KHUN MAK

We had an absolute blast! Please share our appreciation to the entire team for a job well done. This activity and staff exceeded our expectations. With no musical background, in such short time each one of us managed to learn 2 musical instruments and later got together to play 2 full songs. Thank you for treating Farrer Park Hospital to a spectacular team building session!

TEAM MUSIC ROCKS!!

Hong Kah Sec engaged Team Music to help us run our annual staff retreat and we were not disappointed.

Planning for a retreat for 100 staff is never easy. There is a need to engage, excite and enthuse all staff whose age range from as young as 24 years old up to those who are older than 60 years old. Team Music made it seem easy though. All of my staff were excited to learn and pick up new skills at playing various musical instruments. The wonderful thing is that they were able to learn to play 2 new musical instruments and even performed as a school 2 songs all within half a day.

I was most impressed with the capable, talented and patient team members who guided and coached all of my staff where most of them have hardly any musical background at all. If you are looking for a professional team that can help you run a retreat or a team bonding activity, Team Music is one team that you can trust to deliver that.

One week since our retreat and my staff continue to talk about the fun time they had and sing high praises about Team Music. I am certainly looking forward to find new ways to engage Team Music and work with my school again in the future.

Fadzly Samsuri, Subject Head (School Staff Developer) cum Staff Well Being Advisor, Hong Kah Secondary School

“ I am glad that I had participated in the team music as I really enjoyed myself and allow myself to break-free from all things except music and laughter during the 3 hours of team music.  It was really fun to play those music instruments that I could not imagine that I could actually played it to form a mini band with my colleagues.

Thumbs up! J

Phyllis Phua, Singapore National Co-operative Federation

Generally, I am not a fan of bonding activities as I have been to so many in my 32 years of working. So, I was a bit skeptical of what Team Music could offer me. When I walked into the studio and learnt that we were all going to play band instruments and sing, I was now skeptical and uncomfortable. But that soon changed when the staff of Team Music put us at ease and expertly guided us to play together in harmony. It really turned out to be a fun event and it allowed us to let our hair down. At the end of it all, there was a sense of accomplishment when we actually played together as a band. What a tranformation! Kudos to the staff of Team Music for putting together this excellent programme that was so perfectly executed.

Andrew Sabaratnam
Senior Director
Ngee Ann Polytechnic

“We wanted to schedule a team outing centered around the theme of learning, and Team Music was a perfect recommendation! Our goal for the day was to come together as a team, learn something new, and push ourselves out of our comfort levels. It didn’t disappoint. Many of us weren’t musically inclined and while we started off nervous, by the end of the session we all felt like rock stars and couldn’t wait to see our musical masterpieces on tape.

If you’re looking for something different to bond your team, I highly recommend thinking outside of happy hour and plan an event with Team Music. It will live up to the hype!

Mallory Fahy, LinkedIn

“Our team holds morale events every quarter, and we were looking for an activity that was not just unique but also one that incorporated good values.

Since this was a new concept to us, some folks were slightly skeptical, but we decided to step out of our comfort zone to try something new.

The team at Team Music did an excellent job not only coordinating but also coaching our team on how to use the various instruments and making the team feel at ease with the new ideas.

We not only had such a great time as a team, but learnt the importance of teamwork, flexibility and agility in order to harmonize and synchronize as a team.

Thank you Team Music!”

Nur Hakiima Zainol Abidin, Sales Desk Lead – Microsoft

“We would like to thank Team Music for facilitating our teambuilding event on 22 Sep. 2016.

Special thanks to “live wire” Eugene and Ammirudin for making our team building event so much fun and a great success!

Our team “Go Seow Durian lovers Band” enjoyed ourselves so much.    With Eugene and Ammirudin “standing by us”, patiently coaching us, it didn’t matter that we had zero music knowledge. We had a great time, laughing hilariously as we created music as team in just a few short hours!  We highly recommend this programme – you will certainly find the “price tag” value for money and worth it! Eugene will make sure everyone has a great learning experience.”

Eugene and Ammirudin were both brilliant in facilitating our event yesterday. It won’t be so much fun without them! Thanks much once again for this rare opportunity.

Chua Yan Ru, Senior Research Analyst, Central Provident Fund

On behalf of our team we just want to send a big THANK YOU to Team Music for putting this fun and fabulous team building event. Team Music truly bought out our team spirit and show us we can do extraordinary if we put in effort and work together. Not only was the day enjoyable, but it was also very productive, just amazing that a unique rock band was created just within 2 hours. Nothing but great praise from everyone who participated.

We really had a blast !

Rina Tan/AMSEA Finance

I can really recommend to conduct your team building activity with Team Music Pte Ltd.

We were a group of 17 people all over from Asia and Australia. The atmosphere was relaxed and really good. Eugene is a cheerful guy who likes to joke. He and his team know how to teach an instrument in less than 30 minutes. In total we were able to play two different songs in 3 hours. After the first song everyone had to change the instrument to get to learn another one. The team did a great job in a relaxed and funny way. From the beginning on all of us felt comfortable. Daniel sent us the recordings and photos the very next day. This was one of the best team building activities I have joined so far.

Team Music’s Jamming session is a great team bonding event!

We all get to learn something new, have fun, and work with each other in new combinations. Music transcends all languages and my team can attest to that. We had 6 nationalities among the 9 of us. But Music brought us together. Would definitely recommend it for department bonding events.

Cheow Ai Ling from Private Equity and M&A Services, MARSH

“Estee Lauder Cosmetics did a teambuilding event on 21 June organized by Team Music. The event was an absolute blast. Everyone had nothing but high praises for it. Program was soundly thought out and engagement levels were very high. We walked away with a deep appreciation of how important each member is to the overall picture. Thank you Team Music for the great event and your professionalism in making it such a wonderful afternoon for all of us!”

Jonathan Foo, Senior Business Manager of Estee Lauder Cosmetics Pte Ltd

Thank you for the great bonding session led by you and your facilitators yesterday. Music truly brings everyone together, we all had a fantastic time. It was a first for many of us to be playing an instrument, dancing to a choreography and singing in a band.  Many proclaimed it the best bonding event they have ever had! It was both thumbs up from all of us at AWWA School.

Susan Tan, Admin Manager of AWWA School

Thanks to Team Music for giving us a truly unique experience.  It takes everyone out of our comfort zone.  No one thought it is possible for a musically illiterate group to perform like a band but we did it in such a short time, and we did it like a pro!  Behind the high energy, fun and laughter is a serious message around teaming.  What better way can we experience oneness than to play like a band?  This will be an experience that we will remember for a long time to come.

Roy Chan   Senior Manager, Talent Development & Management, Marina Bay Sands Pte Ltd

“This was one of the best events I have ever attended. I did not know what to expect and even have reservations whether the programme could bring more than 150 people together. However, my fears were unfounded, and my division really enjoyed themselves. It was remarkable that the participants could come together to perform a musical despite having limited experiences and time. Your team deserve praise for their efforts to deliver such a fun-filled activity, and it is heartening to see my staff taking part so enthusiastically under your guidance. Kudos to your group for this amazing team building concept which brought my division together. This is an activity that is definitely worth recommending!“

Mr. Chan Hian Lim, Director of the Sensors Division, DSO National Laboratories

Team Music simplified the songs and made it easy for us; who mostly had no prior experience in playing musical instruments. The activity also showed us how music can be created in a band setting through teamwork and similarly in the context of an organization, it is just as important for individuals to perform as a team. It was a very enjoyable and therapeutic time for us and definitely a good alternative for teambuilding activities.

– Gideon, Civil Service College

We enjoyed extremely, the event being planned for us on last Friday. Your guys are patience yet professional. It went beyond our expectations and everyone had so much fun and laugher. Thank you for everything !!!

Amanda Foo | Senior Executive [HR – Learning & Development] | M1 Limited

Daniel and the Team Music group hosted a Team Building session for a group of colleagues for a global project that met here in Singapore in July. The brief provided was not just to host a ‘standard’ session- but to ensure that we incorporated within the session, and in a compressed time frame, elements of our APAC culture that would resonate and educate our global colleagues, as well as our Company Behaviors. Daniel approached this challenge whole heartedly and the end result was one that ticked all the boxes in terms of outcomes! I would certainly consider Team Music again if I was asked to consider having an external partner to host a Team Building session- and would certainly strongly recommend them to any one looking for a partner in this area.

Mark Leong, UBS

It was a one-of-a-kind team building that we had unlike any other that we have been to. Our initial reservations of not knowing how to play musical instruments faded away with your very lively and engaging instructors. They taught us in simple steps, and at the end of the day we harmonized and came up with some pretty good music! We had lots of fun together! The activity made us aware that even though we have different roles, like the different musical instruments, we can produce great results when we synchronize together as a team.

It was definitely the most interesting and fun team-building activity I’ve ever had! We had so much fun taking turns to play the various instruments and our facilitator made it so easy for us even though many of us did not have any musical background. Besides the fun and enriching experience, we were also pleasantly surprised that we could actually play the songs as a band. Moreover, we actually sounded quite good! This was certainly something that we did not expect when we first came in. Thank you for helping us to bond together as a team, and showing us that we can do the extraordinary if we work together!
