The image simply says "thank you to DJ Angelo - a great turntablist and in our opinion the clearest and best turntablism tutor on youtube.

Are they incorporating DJ activities? It's a great way to engage those students who love music but don't find traditional instruments engaging, meaning it increases inclusion. Often kids who try DJing in class end up on traditional instruments anyway because they learn to love #musiceducation.

This is a huge "Thank You" to @phasedj whose wireless system enables scratching with real vinyl turntables without worrying about the needle jumping or skipping. Because it is so hard-wearing we can now let anyone enjoy scratching on vinyl without worrying that the needle or vinyl will get damaged.

The image shows DJ School UK working at Deershed festival in July 2025. The festival is a family friendly music and arts festival. DJ School UK used Phase DJ and Serato DJ pro so that anyone could try scratching on vinyl records, but without needing to be careful of the needle jumping. This worked because the Phase DJ system is wireless and needle-less. Truly making the activity accessible to all.

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

What is DJing and why does it work in education? YouTube video by DJ School UK

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.

The image contains text which says: Great feedback from the mum of an ex-student here . We started with H when he was 8! It’s always good to hear how well things are going: The feedback from the mum is: “H leaves for Greece next Wednesday, he's got a residency in *****. I just wanted to thank you for teaching him his craft, his passion and creativity came from you guys giving him a safe space and respect. In a world full of challenges & educational mess for H* you encouraged him to believe in himself and that him being neurodivergent was not going to stop him. He's living out his dream now.”

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

What is DJing and why does it work in education? YouTube video by DJ School UK

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

The picture includes the text: “Young people see DJing as something they want to do, but maybe also as something they won’t be able to do, then as something they can do. This is therapeutic because it creates a different sense of self – I am doing this, I’m in control, It’s me!” From Dr Raphael Travis, Texas State University.

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-...
