Creative activities & workshops tailored especially for schools and colleges

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are experts in delivering a wide range of creative activities and workshops designed for schools and colleges. Our music-focused workshops include DJ master classes, radio presenting, music production, and songwriting.

Our courses aim to help young people work together to create a high-quality project. Our sessions are carefully planned to ensure maximum engagement, combining both music theory and practical skills.

Our workshops are inclusive, promoting team-building skills, fostering positive peer relationships, and enhancing confidence. At the same time, these sessions enable students to learn new skills by expressing their creativity. Radio presenting is a great way for students to improve their communication skills, practice their interview techniques, and explore social issues such as anti-bullying, gang prevention, and mental health.

At the end of each project, we celebrate with a mini graduation ceremony, giving certificates to the young participants to recognise their achievements and progress. We can also provide photos and videos of the program, with proper consent.

    What People Say

    We have loved every second of working with the DJMC Academy. It has been great for us to see our pupils so engaged and willing to learn about something they have probably never considered doing before. Staff took the time to get to know our pupils and build relationships with them using music and art as a hook to capture their imaginations. We hope to be able to work with DJMC Academy again in the future to produce more amazing work together.
