The Role of Music Team Building Activities
Creates a sense of belonging
Researchers have investigated the tie between music and one’s sense of group belonging. They found, “reactivity to music is related to markers of successful group living.” In more simple terms, music helps us affiliate with groups. In fact, there have been several studies that show people feel closer and more connected through music.
Can help share and explore different cultures
