I am very pleased to recommend Team Music for their team-building exercise for any group size!
I have been lucky enough to work with the team directly now for over 6 years in 3 separate activities (and also had excellent feedback from my recommendation to use them for our programme in March at the INSEAD Singapore campus).
The concept to bring a team together to learn to play instruments that they cannot play and by the end of a short time, actually produce a song that is recognizable is hugely challenging and very rewarding! The fact that I have experienced Team Music doing this with groups of up to 110 is just jaw-dropping!
The team is highly talented – each instrument section has a coach and all of this is brought together with flair and patience by a central person, in our case, Elliot. He doesn’t make people feel silly, he can manage very senior people including CEO’s and he helps bring out the learning after the event. I had comments from many senior executives at the last event in Vietnam: “The best team building I have ever had”, “I can’t believe what we achieved in 90 minutes!”
It has been an absolute pleasure to work with this team in 3 countries so far (Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam)! I can’t wait for the next time!
“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
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 !

“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
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.

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
“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
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!
“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
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 🙂

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Team Music for their contribution to our recent retreat. The approximately 250 participants thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Team Music’s ability to create an engaging and inclusive atmosphere for such a sizable gathering did not go unnoticed, and it enhanced the overall experience for everyone involved. The facilitator’s debrief, which included useful insights and practical takeaways, also helped to spur our colleagues to take ownership of their own learning and professional growth.
All in all, we enjoyed and benefited from the event.
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!

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!
Jeethu Syriac, Senior Human Resource Manager, Farrer Park Hospital
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.

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

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

“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.”

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.

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
“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
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!

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
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.
