About Us and Home Page


  • Your centre should be positively remembered by the participants of the groups you put workshops on for. We intend participants remember your name, not ours 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 practice hard and apply self-discipline will really make this music their own and enjoy the creative process it involves. We try and 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 we encourage people to bring their own CDs and vinyl records (where suitable).
