Scratch Lab DJ Institute offers unique and educational field trips that can be easily catered to your class/school needs.   Depending on the length of time you wish to spend in one of our programs, we will carefully plan the type of lesson that your class receives.  If there is something in particular you wish to focus on, we will try to accommodate. 

Scratch Lab workshops emphasize the performance of music at a beginner level while striking a balance between challenge and skill.  Student learning will include participating in creative activities and listening perceptively.  These workshops that focus on DJing and turntable techniques will provide students with the opportunity to further develop skills in music composition, orchestration, and arrangement through turntables, mixers and various related technologies. 

For more extensive programs, students would have the opportunity to create, mix, and perform music through a digital media and to study music theory, history and analysis.

Scratch Lab provides everything that is needed (turntables, mixers, vinyl etc.) and all that will be asked of the class/school is that transportation be arranged to and from our facility.
