Because Great Teams Sing Together
Looking for a fresh, fun way to energise your next team event? Whether you’re rewarding top performers, planning a creative team-building session, or just want something memorable and different, a WannaSing Corporate Singing Workshop is a brilliant way to bring people together through music.
Building Stronger Teams, One Song at a Time
Led by me, Nick Tann, singer, songwriter, performer, choir leader and musical director, these workshops are designed to help teams connect, relax and enjoy something uplifting. I’m the founder of The Secret Eastleigh Choir, The Romsey Shanty Crew, The Steam Town Shanty Crew, and my original funk band, Nick Tann and The Whole Family. I’ve spent years performing and running these groups, creating inclusive spaces where people sing with confidence and joy.
Whether you want to sing pop, folk, soul, classic tunes or something completely new, I’ll work with you to create a session that suits your team’s tastes and energy. No experience is needed and all voices are welcome.
Flexible, Accessible, Uplifting
Sessions can run from a quick one-hour energiser to a full afternoon event. I provide the lyric sheets and guide the group through every step, ensuring everyone feels involved and supported. If you’d like to record or livestream the session, that can be arranged too.
No Singing Experience Needed
Many people come to these workshops thinking they can’t sing. That’s absolutely fine. I create a welcoming and encouraging space where everyone feels safe to join in. The focus is on taking part, not being perfect, and the results often surprise people in the best way.
Sea Shanty Singing Workshops
If you’re looking for something a little more unexpected, my Sea Shanty Singing Workshops offer a powerful, energetic alternative. Rooted in maritime tradition, these songs were once sung by sailors to coordinate their work on board ships. With strong rhythms and call-and-response patterns, they’re ideal for group singing and work particularly well for building team spirit.
A designated “Shanty Man” leads each verse, with the rest of the group joining in on the chorus. The structure is easy to follow and suits complete beginners as well as more confident singers.
Some traditional shanties are a little bawdy, but I hand-pick material that keeps the humour and character without causing offence. Although the sessions are a cappella, I always bring my guitar and can accompany the group if needed.
Being based near Southampton and Portsmouth, there’s a strong local connection to the tradition. I’ve spent years leading shanty crews and introducing these songs to people who never thought they’d enjoy singing. It’s a brilliant way to surprise and energise your team.
The Right Music for Your Team
If shanties aren’t the right fit, we can explore other options. From timeless classics to upbeat contemporary songs, I can help you choose a set that feels right for your team. Whether the goal is to build confidence, improve connection or simply have some fun, I’ll help shape the session to match your needs.
Sing. Connect. Inspire.
