Applied Rhythm:

Group Music Classes for Team Building & Stress Relief

““The most fun you’ll ever have at lunch.””

What This Is

Live, high energy, facilitator-led group music sessions; intentionally curated to teach you music fundamentals while having fun with your coworkers. No musical experience necessary! The facilitator teaches your team simple rhythmic exercises, using percussion instruments, and has them playing along to songs, to build communication, camaraderie, and morale in a way a normal meeting can't. Our classes help:

  • Reduces stress, break up meeting fatigue

  • Build real collaboration skills (listening, timing, vulnerability)

  • Intended for total beginners; zero musical background necessary

  • Fits into an existing meeting, retreat, or wellness day

  • Classes are typically on-site (your location), but can be off-site (my location), or virtual
