On the other hand, these decisions are made by the composers of Electronic Music (That is, their choice of VST's... every aspect of the sound is scrutinised and adjusted by the composer themselves). You can look at the concept of the 'journey' many DJ's talk about. What the role of the DJ is and why they hold value over iTunes Shuffle. What is your end goal for this club? What do you hope to achieve out of it. Would it be simple jam sessions? Or discussions on performing topics? Would you be looking at a Scratch oriented group? |

| Elvera Veliquette 15.12.2012 | first of all,Sorry for my grammar.English isnt my first language and recently i have been struggling a bit with it. Something you should know,which is actually pretty awsome if you ask me, is that my school has a music production class. The school already has 2 midi keyboads.I was believeing the club coul cover jamming, traktor and ableton djing, production , etc. Another thing is were probably not going to go to deep into stuff at first glance.The members are going to grow with the club. Thank you all so much for your help.I appreciate it alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

And its going to cost a bit for the school to get that person through his/her own classes I bring this up because it might delay things in a way that you WONT be starting these classes in your school next august as you hoped |

| Elvera Veliquette 13.12.2012 | yeah...but the school has students who are djs.The thing is there really bad.There a couple of douchebags(sorry for the language moderator) who believe just because they can hit play there djs. The only real thing they do is grab itunes and youtube and hit play. You guys should see them one time, it would make you laugh. |
| Freida Leash 13.12.2012 | The real reason is so that the school doesn't have to hire a DJ for dances |
| Elvera Veliquette 14.12.2012 | thx alot guys!!!!!! probably gonna be doing this for august 2013 because to make a club you gotta go for a 1 year process or so... Ill queep uploading my process.....again thx a gazillion |
| Janella Gripe 13.12.2012 | In this video, Ean explains it all |
| Alease Fitch 13.12.2012 | Your school probably gives music lessons right? DJing gear is the instrument of the future.^^ |
| Tatum Ansaldo 13.12.2012 | Point out that DJing is a valued profession and there are whole schools set up (dubspot, point blank, etc) to push it forward. |
