DJ Workshop (Introduction)

This workshop focuses on the introductory skills that are required when learning to DJ.

DJ Workshop (Introduction) is a two-hour session for beginners who want to learn the foundations of DJing. Participants are introduced to industry standard DJ equipment, including decks, mixers and software and are guided through the skills needed to perform a basic two track mix.

The workshops covers track structure, BPM, beat matching, EQ control and looping. With live demostations and practical exercises, the participants will apply their learnings on the DJ decks, supported by one of The Push’s experienced Workshop Facilitators. Alongside the technical skills, the session explores DJing as a creative practice, from live performances, community events and career pathways into music production.

Facilitating workshops with The Push has been such a highlight for me in my career. I always love getting to connect with young people face-to-face and seeing them engage with the music industry in a real and practical way. It’s really rewarding being able to share experiences and insights, and watching those little moments where something clicks or sparks their passion. For some young it’s also their first time hearing directly from someone working in the industry, which can show that a music industry career is a real, viable and possible pathway.

Jess Healy (The Push, Workshop Facilitator)

The Push have been brilliant to work with! We were so impressed with how the facilitator was able to engage the young people, match their energy and meet the needs of everyone who joined. Making this information accessible and relatable is so important and it was incredible to see the lightbulbs go off and the excitement grow.

I am so grateful for the new skills I've learn through attending The Push's training workshops!! The guidance and support from the workshop facilitators were incredible, and I've met so many likeminded music lovers. I'm hoping to pursue a career in music - and these sessions have opened a world of creativity for me!
