Inner Trust DJ Workshops

Inner Trust CIC delivers hands-on DJ workshops for children, young people and adults, including disabled people and people living with dementia. We adapt sessions to the group’s experience, interests and access needs, giving everyone a chance to get behind the decks and make music together.

  • Learn to DJ. Participants get hands-on with DJ equipment, learning how to cue a track in headphones, match tempos and blend two tracks. They practise using the mixer, adjusting volume and EQ, applying effects and trying basic scratching.
  • Build and record a mix. Participants choose tracks, practise transitions and develop their own style. The aim is for each person to record a favourite mix. They can also design and print their own CD cover and inlay with a title, logo and artwork.
  • Make music together. Seven synchronised iPad music consoles connect to a shared PA for live group jam sessions. Participants learn to load sound packs, set the tempo and trigger beats, basslines, melodies, vocals and effects. They use colour-coded sounds and simple volume and effects controls to create their own arrangements.
  • Play in a welcoming space. Mood lighting and visuals help create a relaxed, colourful setting where participants can experiment, take turns and share what they’ve made.
