What Happens at a LiveWire Event?
Suitable for groups of 6 to 2000+, your LiveWire event will begin with a short presentation from a representative from the fantastic charity you choose to donate your finished adapted instruments to. This gives the teams the opportunity to hear first-hand who they’re making the instruments for, and what a difference their donation is going to make.
Once your team is buzzing with excitement, positivity, and the motivation to make incredible instruments to change lives, they will get creative. In teams of 6, participants will design, decorate, assemble and wire a one-of-a-kind adapted musical instrument designed by the o3e team.
It’s a great activity for both creative and logical thinkers, and with mini-challenges throughout the event, there’s something for everyone. Once the building is complete, teams will get to showcase their designs by learning a recognisable tune and putting on a final winning performance for their peers!
Why Make and Donate Adapted Musical Instruments?
Music brings people together, evokes memories and enriches our lives through self-expression. And for young people with special educational needs or disability (SEND), this is no different.
Studies have shown that music can promote a wide range of benefits for SEND individuals, from mood enhancement such as calming, energising, pride and achievement, to other skills such as teamwork, listening, communication and co-ordination.
We believe everyone should be able to experience the joy of making music. That’s why we have developed LiveWire, the team building event with access to music at its heart.
Musical Mini-Challenges
LiveWire is a flexible activity. It can be extended or shortened to suit your team’s particular needs and fit within your larger agenda – we can run anything from a 90-minute activity to an all day long solution.
Depending on the duration of your session, you’ll have the option to add fun mini-challenges to keep everyone engaged. Choose from:
- Kazoonary: One team member must get their teammates to guess the famous musician using only the sound of a trusty kazoo
- Lyrical Logic: Test your team’s problem-solving skills with a baffling musical brainteaser
- Music to My Ears: How many songs from our eclectic event playlist can your team recognise?
Your team will leave the event buzzing with motivation and new-found skills, feeling even better knowing that they have made a big difference to charity.
