MusicEDU: A DJ, a Curriculum Guru, and a Tech Whiz walk into a classroom

The Making of the Ultimate DJ Workshop

Music education is evolving, and with the innovative partnership between MusicEDU, Aeyons, and DJ City, it’s never been more exciting. This collaboration brings a fresh, hands-on approach to music learning, integrating DJing into school curriculums to captivate and inspire students like never before.


Why DJing? In today’s digital age, students are not only consumers of music but can also become creators, using tools that professionals use in the industry. DJing offers a unique blend of technology, music theory, and creativity, making it a perfect fit for engaging students in a comprehensive music education.


The heart of this initiative is the DJ workshops, designed specifically for classroom teachers and their students. These workshops are supported by DJ City’s expertise in DJ gear, MusicEDU’s robust educational framework, and Aeyons’ cutting-edge video conferencing platform with crystal clear audio. Together, we ensure that each encounter is not just informative, but also incredibly interactive and fun.


Our DJ workshops help teachers integrate DJing into their music classes, regardless of their previous experience with DJ equipment. From understanding the basics of mixing tracks to advanced techniques like scratching and looping, our workshops cover a wide range of skills. Moreover, the use of Aeyons’ platform means that these lessons can be conducted with the same clarity and immediacy as if the instructors were right there in the classroom.


For schools, the benefits are manifold. DJing can boost student engagement and attendance by offering a modern twist to music education that resonates with the interests of young people today. It also equips students with technological skills that are transferable to many other fields, fostering a sense of innovation and adaptability.


At the recent EduTECH conference in Melbourne, educators experienced these workshops firsthand. The DJ City booth hosted live DJ Scratch Classes featuring Australia’s top Urban DJ, Nino Brown (located in Sydney), who demonstrated the power and potential of DJing in education via live stream to conference participants on the booth.


We invite all educators to join us in redefining music education. Whether you’re looking to refresh your school’s music curriculum or introduce an exciting new extracurricular activity, our DJ workshops offer everything you need to get started. Discover how you can bring this dynamic aspect of music culture into your classroom, and watch as your students unlock new levels of creativity and enthusiasm in their learning journey.


These workshops are designed to be inclusive, providing an entry point for students who might not have traditional music training but are interested in music and technology. This inclusivity broadens the appeal of the music department, attracting a diverse group of students and enriching the school’s cultural tapestry.


For schools looking to adopt these workshops, MusicEDU offers full support in terms of resources, curriculum integration, and expert guidance. This ensures that every school can implement the program with confidence and see immediate benefits in terms of student engagement and educational outcomes.


As we look to the future, the importance of adapting our educational approaches to include more technology-focused and culturally relevant content cannot be overstated. MusicEDU’s DJing workshops are at the forefront of this movement, demonstrating that music education can be dynamic, technologically advanced, and deeply engaging. For schools ready to take their music program to the next level, MusicEDU is a partner in revolutionising arts education, making it more relevant, enjoyable, and impactful for students across middle school music.
