Learn the basics of DJing with Words Beats & Life during this special Teen Summer Reading Event!

Join us as Words Beats & Life presents a workshop on DJing!  Come learn the various aspects and practices under the umbrella of DJing, including production and related musicianship, as well as basic abilities in scratching and beat matching.  Students will also learn the methods of execution employed by DJs, producers and musicians of other genres to enhance their experience and expand their artistic options.

Words Beats & Life (WBL) is DC’s longest running, dopest Hip-Hop based arts educational non-profit. They work to break down those barriers that keep our cities’ outstanding young creatives from taking full advantage of the opportunities that come along with living in the Nation’s Capital. Their goal is to invest in DC’s creative ecosystem so artists and creators can be living examples of what our city’s creative youth can accomplish with the right tools and the best role models. They host workshops, after school programs, concerts and festivals aimed at nurturing youth creativity.

For teens, ages 13 to 19.
