Session description

Bring DJ Education into your classroom WITHOUT any prior experience, except for a love for music and a passion for empowering students! With our Start to DJ Program, teachers become Campus Coaches, helping to guide students to success through expert-led videos and workbooks designed by industry leader, DJ HAPA!

Purpose & objective

Throughout this session, participants will start to DJ! We will use the devices they carry on them everyday - mobile and tablets to show them how minimal the friction is to getting started. At the end of the session, everyone will be interacting and manipulating music and feeling empowered. We also aim to share how this can then be implemented into the classroom using our curriculum that is set up as a Facilitated Learning Model and that they can start getting access to immediately!
