Not tried your hand at DJing before? or have some experience and want to get to the next level?
Well now is your chance in a FREE, friendly and supportive group session with the help and expertise of local DJ / music producer Rob Pearson. DJing can be fun to try as a hobby, and if you ever want to go further it can even lead to a career in the music industry!
On the day we will have the decks ready for you to spin the platters, play songs and even try out some scratching and turntable tricks. We will show you how DJ equipment is set up and what is needed to start your own DJ journey using fun and FREE DJ apps. We will have Pioneer CD Decks as well as the latest Traktor Pro software all set up for you to try out.
In this FREE 1.5 hr workshop for Young People aged 8 to 13 we will cover some of the following:-

All sessions are welcoming and inclusive, there is an emphasis on 'no right or wrong' and no previous musical experience is necessary. Rob will be on hand to assist your musical journey and let your creativity shine through.
You will be able to choose what equipment and techniques that you would like to try and won’t be put on the spot to perform in front of others. Our staff hold an advanced DBS certificate (formerly known as a CRB check) for working with young people.
