As part of the SkillShare community, you may already know that class projects are a big part of the platform and what makes ShillShare unique.

For this class project, SkillShare gives you an option to add:

a cover image
a project title
a project description
and any extra images, videos or files you may have and want to share

All you need to do is go to the projects and resources tab under this video, and click ‘create project’

Cover Photo

For the cover photo you can use any DJ picture that you like.

Some suggestions are:

Use a screenshot of your DJ software,
Take a picture of your DJ equipment by itself if you do not want to be in the photo,
Take a picture of yourself DJing with your DJ equipment.

Class Project Title

For the class project you can title it what ever you like.

Some examples of how you can title the project:

‘My first DJ project’,
‘My first DJ mix',
or even ‘I am now a wicked sick DJ’.

Class Project Description

In the project description, you can feel free to put what ever you like in relation to the course.

You can share your experience with the course in any way you want.

There is no right or wrong answer here, any information on how your experience was with the course, and DJing in general would be perfect.

But if you are struggling for things to write and want to keep things simple, as I know it can be hard to think of things on the spot sometimes, and because I want as many of you as possible to participate in the class project, I am going to give you an optional structure to follow of finishing these 3 sentences:

"I started this DJ course because …"

"3 things I have learnt from this DJ course are …"

"After this DJ course I am going to …"

The more that you share, the more we can all interact with each other and connect and discuss the topic of djing

Its always great to hear how people have got on with the course and the positive impacts it has had on their DJing journey

Class Project Extra Files

SkillShare does not yet offer the option to directly upload video or audio to class projects

So for this reason, I am not expecting everyone to record their own mix and upload it.

But if you do record your own DJ mix, with either the tracks from the course, or with your own tracks, and want to add it to the class project, that would be awesome.

Any mix that you can share would be great to hear, for both myself and the other students.

The best ways to do this, is to record your mix on the DJ software by clicking the record button.

From there you can upload your mix to 'Mixcloud'

Mixcloud is a platform designed specifically for DJs to upload their mixes to.

From there you can share the link to your mix in your class project.

Another option could be if you have a YouTube account and you do not want to create a Mixcloud account, is to put the audio into iMovie and put an image over the top of the audio, and then you can upload your mix to YouTube and share the link.

You don’t even have to make the YouTube video public if you don’t want to, you can upload it as private and just share the link in the project.

Or the last option is to just set up your phone and record your mix though your phone using the microphone and camera on your phone.

Again, with this option you would have to upload the video online and then share the link.

Sharing your DJ mix is just an option if you want to do so. If you don’t want to do that, just uploading a pic and leaving some comments would be great!

If you have any questions about the project, feel free to create a discussion in the course, and I will get back to you from there.

I hope you enjoy the course and I look forward to hearing how it goes in your projects.
