A Transformational Team-Building Experience
Your Team Walks In
As Individuals.
They Leave As a Band.
The Studio Experience™ is a high-impact, immersive team-building program where teams enter world-renowned recording studios to create an original song together.
The Problem
They Talk About
Collaboration…
But Rarely Experience It.
Over-structured
Disconnected
Bored with the same old off-sites
Most team-building events are forgotten. This one gets replayed.
"We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves, or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing."
— Charles Schaefer

The Environment
Where Transformation Happens
When a team walks into an iconic studio, something changes. Titles disappear. Discomfort and excitement show up. And then something incredible happens.
London, England
Abbey Road Studio Two
Where The Beatles created their most iconic recordings, shaping the sound of modern music in one legendary room.
Manhattan, New York
Power Station at Berklee
Where Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie and Queen captured raw, powerful performances in one of music's most electrifying spaces.
Hollywood, CA
Capitol Records
Where Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Miles Davis, Aerosmith, Stevie Wonder, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snoop Dogg, Radiohead, and Coldplay created the sounds that defined decades.
Los Angeles, California
EastWest Studios
The most Grammy-winning studio in history on Sunset Blvd, where The Beach Boys, Michael Jackson, Nirvana, and The Rolling Stones produced seminal recordings.
Your team can sit in a conference room and talk about alignment… or they can step into history and build something that didn't exist before they walked in. One is information. The other is transformation.

Mike A.

"Alexander is the first teacher I've had who has an absolute knowledge of how the voice works and how to get the most out of your sound. No tricks or gimmicks, just sound technique that has made my voice stronger and better than ever before."
Ryan Silverman
Broadway Leading Man
"My experience recording music at Abbey Road Studios with Alex and Jon was once in a lifetime, but the memories of the working group for that session will last just as long. Nine months later, I still feel connected with all of those people. The bond between us, grown from the full experience, is something that I think could be shared by any group of people interested in working together. I highly recommend The Studio Experience for team building."
Warren Mays
Owner/Partner — MPA
"The Studio Experience was incredible. Rehearsing, arranging the music, and experiencing the joy of creation — all in a legendary recording studio — helped me make friendships and memories with Alex and Jon that I'll cherish for the rest of my life. And I have the music and the videos to share the beauty of our creation with the world. Alex enabled me to accomplish a creative goal I never thought I could achieve."
Mark Loughney
"Alex Kariotis is an ardent advocate for his students. I truly believe that he is an example of the consummate artist/educator. His artistry as an accomplished and lauded vocalist, band leader and performance director exists in complete harmony with his desire to instruct and lead his students to their own sense of artistry."
