Skilz is a non-profitable charity, and our mission is to enhance the lives of individuals and communities by providing a diverse range of opportunities, which promote Health and Wellbeing for all.
Skilz DJ Project offers an 8-week programme that works to compliment the Curriculum for Excellence. Each session works closely to meet the Significant Aspects of Learning to support education.
Students are offered a varied programme that is child centred and allows them to collaborate and tinker with the latest DJ technology as they discover the many ways to manipulate and generate new sounds. Each session will encourage students to be active creators as they take songs they know and make it their own, putting fun into music. Our DJ tutors deliver the curriculum in schools all around Dundee and Angus by teaching all the technical aspects of DJing. The tutors encourage the children to be creative and explore through the music that they enjoy. They also make sure each child is working towards making a personal mini mix by the end of the 8-week programme.
