We work with Pioneer DJ and use their equipment to provide high-quality video courses, learning materials, as well as in our campaigns to make electronic music more accessible, providing subsidised equipment to those that need it. We’ve got exclusive backing from Pioneer DJ, the market leader in DJ kit. We’re transforming how children experience music in school. And it’s a sure-fire way to generate a buzz around the music department - and the whole school. It’s a great way to re-awaken interest in all music GCSE syllabuses. Learning to DJ or produce music are new ways into studying music. And we get right into the details of electronic music production. Our programmes cover what underpins that music, from style, structure and tempo to timing, rhythm and scales. We offer students a fresh, exciting study programme that’s in tune with the music they listen to. Our music tutors teach DJ-ing and music production in schools all over the country and beyond. But only a few teachers have got the skills, resources and experience to meet this demand. And there’s a lot of demand from students. That makes them a potential part of music GCSE. UK exam boards AQA, OCR and Eduqas now recognise DJ decks as a musical instrument alongside the piano, violin or guitar.
