The ultimate
collaboration experience
building safe, aligned and creative teams - through the power of music
In today’s workplaces, psychological safety is the #1 driver of high-performing, innovative teams. But you can’t teach safety and trust in a PowerPoint. You have to feel it. Experience it. Create it - together.
BAND Together is a transformational team experience that uses the power of music-making, performance, and creativity to build safer, more aligned, inclusive and collaborative teams.
Led by renowned professional musician, educator and coach James Wilson and his incredible team, your people will experience:
A powerful live performance demonstrating collaboration in action
Hands-on song writing, instrument-playing, and music-making in small groups
A final performance of an original song, recorded as a lasting team legacy
You don’t need musical experience. You just need an open mind.
Results that matter
From noise to noteworthy - what teams take away
Psychological safety: practice risk-taking without fear
Collaboration: co-create under time pressure
Communication: listen deeply, give space for all voices
Connection: celebrate diversity and shared achievement
Group Dynamics: understanding team behaviour to drive positive outcomes
Your team will leave aligned, inspired, and with their own song as a powerful shared memory.
“We don’t just talk about great teamwork - we jam it.”
