The Start to DJ Program is a comprehensive initiative crafted to introduce students to the art of DJing in an engaging and accessible manner. Utilizing our Facilitated Learning Model, the program is designed to be simple for educators to implement, ensuring that anyone—from teachers to parents to support staff—can effectively lead sessions. By becoming Campus Coaches, these individuals empower students to explore and develop their musical abilities, transitioning from passive consumers of music to active creators in their own right.

Through Project Based Learning, students embark on a journey of creativity and self-discovery as they craft and perform their own mixes. These performances serve as opportunities for students to showcase their newfound skills and confidence, sharing their passion for music with peers, staff, and loved ones. Beyond honing their DJing techniques, participants also gain invaluable transferable skills, such as teamwork, problem-solving, and communication, which are essential for success in various aspects of life.

Moreover, the program is firmly rooted in principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, ensuring that all students have equal access to learning opportunities and feel represented and respected within the DJing community. By fostering an environment where every voice is heard and celebrated, the Start to DJ Program not only cultivates musical talent but also promotes a culture of acceptance and understanding among participants.
