Final Evaluation

DJ Animature was a great achievement. Students who study GCSE Music found this enterprise project complemented their learning. They developed many DJ skills as well as acquiring many new ones. For some, learning to set up Dj-ing equipments and mixing one record with another was a new and refreshing experience. Playing two records simultaneously and receiving training in DJ scratching were exciting skills that students thoroughly enjoyed learning.

Many found the Entente Cordiale celebration workshop to be the highlight of the project. They were honoured by the fact that eminent DJs were willing to collaborate with our school and celebrate an historic event between the French and the British. One student commented: “ I really enjoyed meeting Rita, Max, Laurent and the other famous DJs. It was a brilliant day for us all”.
