What to expect from Fresh Track Workshops .....

 - Understanding the set up of equipment. Maintenance and care. Basic health and safety.

 - Understanding of controls, functions and layouts of CD decks, mixer (and turntables if appropriate)

 - What a DJ needs in order to do a good job. ie Organisation, preparation, time keeping, musical knowledge,     how to read a crowd, positive attitude, dealing with people etc.

 - Set structure. ie set openers, set closers, BPMs, genres, warm up sets, wind down sets, peak time sets etc

 - Different DJ techniques ie basic mixing, blending, fading, rewinds, emergency stops, wind downs etc

 -  Advanced skills (if appropriate) ie beat matching, scratching, using turntables, vinyl etc. 


All this may lead to ...

 - potential DJ'ing opportunities in other "learning disabled clubs" or more.

 - increased confidence and self esteem

 - a greater sense of well being and fulfilment
