Your centre should be positively remembered by the participants of the groups you put workshops on for. I intend for participants to remember your name, not mine, when they have had a good time.
In an intro session anyone can enjoy playing music on DJ equipment. This means it is an ideal way to introduce people to music. However, only those who practise hard and apply self-discipline will really make this music their own and enjoy the creative process it involves. I try to underline all our workshops with a message: "the more you give, the more you get."
Learning DJ techniques can be the first step in opening a door to enjoying and understanding more music forms.
People respond to music, especially if they recognise it. For this reason, I encourage people to bring their own CDs and vinyl records (where suitable).
I can train your staff or more able young people to run their own DJ workshops.
I can, with consultation, attempt to incorporate any themes or aims your organisation may have (e.g. anti-bullying, anti-drugs)
I can work towards a performance or recorded piece.
I can work on samplers, computers and in music production.
I can bring tambourines, shakers other percussion toys for those who are technophobes.
I can encourage rapping, dancing or collaborate with specialised rap or dance artists.
I can collaborate with graffiti artists, break-dancers, or other artists.
I can supply background music for other workshops (e.g. skating, graffiti etc).
I can record your events or performances.
I can run Duke of Edinburgh courses for Bronze and Silver levels. Please see my 'Past Experience' page on this site for more info on the types of centres I have worked in already.
Please call to discuss your requirements. Even if you've just had an inkling of a thought about holding a DJ workshop with your group give me a call. I'd love to help that seed of an idea grow!
