Kids DJ WorkShop

Through a group called 4 elements, a collective that thought the 4 elements of Hiphop: Break Dancing, MCing, Spray Painting and Scratching/DJing. My role was 'Head of the DJ workshop' where I tonight kids from ages 3 up to 15 with the occasional parent to learn with their child. These workshops happened at Shindig Festival primarily, with a few workshops being booked for town fairs. The workshop started with scratching the skills of scratching using vinyl. Slowly over time I developed the workshop to give the children more experience with equipment they don't have access to. This involved beat matching on CDJ's and ending up with a full live set up using Ableton which allowed the children to play various instruments that allowed them to always be in key and in time using various MIDI rules.
