The MI-HIMC Immersive DJ Program is designed to give students an intensive dive into the art, craft, technology, history and business of contemporary DJ’ing. The program achieves its learning objectives through a blend of theoretical and practical applications of core DJ concepts, techniques, and approaches on the latest industry-standard equipment, as taught by experienced DJs and faculty in the heart of the Los Angeles music scene. The program is ideal for beginners, but also those wishing to further develop their DJ skills in the cultural setting of Hollywood, California.
This program covers the skills a contemporary DJ requires to succeed:
The program is grouped into three main courses: Performance, Production, and History & Business. These overarching courses feature subject-specific modules, as outlined below:
This course—the bulk of the program—is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the essentials skills, technology and artistry required for effective DJ performance through a combination of theory and practical application. Students receive hands-on instruction on individual, never shared, workstations featuring top-of-the-line hardware and software.
In addition to live performance, an additional creative avenue (and revenue stream) or DJs comes in the form of remixing and recording. This course is designed to complement the content of the Performance course by providing essential information on various aspects of production.
This course is designed to give students a well-rounded introduction to core nonperformance/ productions aspects of DJ’ing. Students learn the fundamental history of recorded music (essential knowledge for DJs looking to craft intelligent and unique sets and recordings) and the core concepts required for doing business as a DJ (contract essentials, setting up a company, securing a support team, etc.).
