We're looking forward to this session at our #MMConference25! 🙌 @djschooluk.bsky.social gives us a sneak peek into just one of the ways that DJing can be used to engage pupils with the fundamentals of music - in this case pulse & tempo! 🎶 🔗Find out more: conference.musicmark.org.uk/schedule/202...

Great to see AEG setting up a new festival in Leeds: aegeurope.com/aeg-presents... They will offer students the chance to get involved in the live music industry and provide vital skills and insight into the creative industries. Which is especially good to see. #musiceducation #industrycoalition

Thank you to @DJAngelo. In our opinion his tutorial videos are the clearest and best for budding scratch DJs. Remember you CAN try this at home! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... For teacher training in DJ Skills: www.djschooluk.org.uk/schools-and-... #MusicEducation #DJing #turntablism #musicedv1

Loved being back at the front line this weekend at @deershed festival. We just let people have a go at scratching using the @phase and @serato DVS system. It was exhausting and amaaazing!!! Thank you to our team, the deershed team and all the families who made it so much fun! #musiceducation

Here's a video to explain what DJing is and why it works so well in music education. Spoiler: It engages all pupils who love music because they can choose any music that they consider culturally relevant. For more info: www.djschooluk.org.uk/schools-and-... #musiceducation #djeducation

This Lad! He started with us at the age of 8 and now he is full grown and off travelling to work as a resident DJ in Greece. So happy he's got where he wants to be. #musiceducation #musictech #DJeducation

For all those in #musicedv1, #musiceducation and #musictech types here's a simple explanation of what DJing is and why it works in education. No music/no copyright, no frills/no fancy video magic. Just good information: youtu.be/N-05LUH-0uA

To engage and educate pupils who love music but not the traditional instruments, try applying DJ activities in music classes. For training and CPD see: www.djschooluk.org.uk/schools-and-... #musiceducation

When we say "DJing is culturally relevant" we don't just mean it is contemporary. We mean anyone can find music they feel represents their culture and play it, instantly. This is why using DJing in music education is so engaging." #musiceducation www.djschooluk.org.uk/schools-and-...

Offers still available for music hubs hoping to upskill school workforces: www.djschooluk.org.uk/schools-and-... #musiceducation

This was a very interesting event last night. Great proof that the turntables are complementary to traditional instruments and a huge shout out for #musiceducation www.leedsconcertseason.co.uk/whatson-even...

For West Yorkshire music sector and #musiceducation people check out this new event series: Music Sector Open Forums! 7th May | Calderdale 22nd May | Bradford 28th May | Wakefield 25th June | Leeds These events are free & welcome to anyone involved in music ➡️ Book now linktr.ee/westyorkshir...

Full online courses are now available in both Rekordbox and Serato DJ software. All training focuses on how to engage pupils, incorporate the delivery of the UK Music curriculum and increase the uptake of GCSE music. #musiceducation www.djschooluk.org.uk/schools-and-...

This is looking interesting: www.leedsconcertseason.co.uk/whatson-even...

It's always good to know your IT equipment is optimised for DJing - Here's a nice up to date of how to do that from the people at Phase DJ: www.phasedj.com/resources/ar...

Hi Bluesky! 💙 We will be keeping you up-to-date on our work as the UK Association for Music Education, sharing our resources, training, and events, and continuing to support our membership and the wider music education sector 🎶 What would you like to see from us on here? Let us know below! 👇

Even though we always think students should engage as much as possible with their DJ equipment it's nice to know some keyboard shortcuts. There's some beauties here on Serato Pro from the crew at Phase DJ www.phasedj.com/resources/ar...

Love hearing how teachers are bringing the wider curriculum into DJ classes, and how it makes students "want to come to school". www.dorsetview.co.uk/drop-that-fu...

For school teachers using Serato on a network we recently discovered that whitelisting serato.com (serato.com) (serato.com) (entire domain including subdomains) and sera.to (sera.to) (sera.to) in SmoothWall allows access to a music library on a school network. You will need your IT team to help.

Great results training music teachers to use DJ skills at @yorkmusichub last week. Such a good response in the session and follow ups signing up for our video training resources. The donuts were a bonus too! More info www.djschooluk.org.uk/schools-and-...

Fantastic video here from the crew at Crossfader. This shows how many DJ techniques can be applied in even short mixes. The whole is more than the sum of it's parts, it demonstrates accuracy and creativity, it is contemporary + all can be done on basic equipment. This is what educators can expect.

For all #musiceducation people considering using DJ skills to deliver the curriculum here is a useful comparison of the two most used software platforms available at the moment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bft...

We see the doom in the linked article... Time to recognise that a study by Dale (2020) showed quite significant improvements to uptake of GCSE/BTEC Music appeared achievable when teachers offered DJ-related music technology options. We are here for that!

Is it me or are there an unusual amount of follow requests coming from accounts that follow thousands, are followed by a tiny fraction of that, and have exactly 3 posts of AI looking crap? Are these the new Active Measures guidelines for troll farms?

Always good to hear when schools are being supported to upgrade their DJ software. Congrats to @swelcome Ferndown Middle School for getting all the boxes ticked in your setting!

Meanwhile in other news Serato DJ software is now fully supported for Mac users on the Sequoia OS, Yippee! support.serato.com/hc/en-us/art...

Nvm what is or isn't a chrimble movie. Persuade me Valerie isn't a chrimble song. Those ding dongs in every chorus = 🎄🎁🎄! youtu.be/bixuI_GV5I0?...

I'm sure I followed #musiceducation and #musiced as feeds at some point so I could easily focus on them, but they seem to have disappeared! Anyone know why, or more likely what I've done to end up so lonely 😭

We are happy to be supporting Dr Pete Dale in his latest research project. Much more research like this is needed to show the impact DJ activities can have on the engagement, retention and music education of school children. Can't wait for the results. #musiceducation #musiced, #engagetoeducate

@musicedsolution.bsky.social hi, do you have anyone offering teacher training in DJ skills? We offer a full course of video resources which are being well received by Dorset, Sunderland and Leeds music hubs. Would be very happy to connect #engagingtoeducate

1-12-2024. Student djs are now allowed to access the Christmas songs. Meanwhile at home...

'twas a cold and dark northern english day when SUDDENLY! That warm and fuzzy feeling from unexpected feedback... #musiceducation #musiced #DJ #engagetoeducate

Community is important. You can’t do this on your own.

Great to hear of another innovative approach by a school using DJing in the curriculum. Shouldn't every music service be making sure they can offer equal provision? For online or face to face CPD and teacher training in DJ Skills see: www.djschooluk.org.uk/schools-and-... #musiceducation #Musiced

Really enjoying this platform now. Thought it fair to put up an actual pic of myself as my profile instead of hiding behind my company branding. Also here's a pic of puppy for good measure. Hello from a bright but cold Leeds, UK.
