The Rock Choir Experience

Your team walks in as colleagues. They walk out having performed together — in powerful, spine-tingling harmony. No audition. No music reading. No experience needed. Just a room, a group of people, and a musician who knows how to bring them together.

From "we can't sing" to "we sound incredible"

Every Rock Choir Experience follows the same proven arc — from nervous laughter to genuine goosebumps. Ian has delivered this hundreds of times, and the transformation never gets old. The room changes. People who wouldn't normally speak to each other are suddenly performing together, and the shared achievement stays with them long after the event.

The magic isn't in the singing. It's in the moment your team realises what they're capable of when they commit to something together.

The Warm-Up

Ian starts with rhythm and energy — simple games, call-and-response, physical warm-ups. Within five minutes, the self-consciousness is gone and the room is alive.

Finding Your Voice

The group discovers they can actually sing. Ian introduces the melody, gets everyone comfortable with the basics, and builds confidence note by note.

Splitting Into Parts

The room divides into vocal sections — each learning their harmony line by ear. No sheet music. No pressure. Just guided, intuitive learning that clicks.

Layering Up

The parts start coming together. One section at a time, the harmonies build. This is usually the moment jaws start dropping — the sound is bigger than anyone expected.

The Performance

Full arrangement. Live instrumentation. The whole room performing as one. This is the moment that gets talked about for months.

This is what it looks and sounds like

Built around your event, not the other way round

Conference Energiser

A high-energy session to kick off your event or re-energise the room after lunch. Gets everyone on their feet, singing, and buzzing with energy. From one hour.

Multi-Session Day

Book Ian for the full day and run multiple breakout sessions, combining the rock choir with other Upbeat Experiences to create a truly immersive event.

More than team building. A shared achievement.

Most team building activities create a shared memory. The Rock Choir Experience creates a shared achievement — something your team actually accomplished together that they didn't think was possible. That's a fundamentally different kind of bonding.

This isn't about being good singers. It's about what happens when a group of people commit to something together, support each other through the unfamiliar, and discover they're capable of something extraordinary.

  • Genuine connection

    People who wouldn't normally interact find themselves depending on each other — and succeeding together.

  • Barriers dissolve

    Hierarchy, department silos, introversion — music levels the playing field in a way nothing else does.

  • Lasting impact

    This isn't forgotten by Monday. Teams talk about the experience for months — it becomes part of company folklore.

  • 100% participation

    No one sits this out. The way Ian structures the experience means even the most reluctant person finds themselves joining in.

  • Zero risk

    No equipment to organise. No venue requirements beyond a room. Ian brings everything needed and handles the lot.

"Their best team build ever."
