Music Production Students Learn the Art of DJing #207Now #DJ @mainewestfab @MTHSfoundation

 

Today, Music Production students from Maine West and Maine East came together for an exciting, all-day DJ workshop! Led by professional DJs and producers Fausto Lopez and Armando Perez—two talented artists from Chicago—students explored the fundamentals of DJing and got hands-on experience mixing tracks, beatmatching, and experimenting with gear.

The energy was high, and the creativity was flowing! Fausto and Armando shared their industry knowledge, offered real-time feedback, and inspired students with their passion and artistry.

This workshop is just one example of how we’re expanding access to music technology and giving students opportunities to learn directly from working professionals in the field. We’re so proud of our students for diving in and trying something new!

This workshop would not have been possible without the generous support of the Maine Township High School Foundation, who provided the financial support needed to bring in today's guests artists.

What an unforgettable evening at Dimensions 2024: Perspectives! Our students from band, choir, orchestra, and music production delivered performances that showcased their hard work, creativity, and passion.

The theme of "Perspectives" came to life through their artistry, reminding us how music can open our minds to new ways of seeing and experiencing the world. From intricate harmonies to innovative compositions, every note reflected their dedication and collaboration. Students delivered powerful speeches that deeply connected to the theme, offering the audience meaningful perspectives to reflect on and inspiring new ways of thinking!

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate these talented students. Their success is a testament to the power of the arts to inspire, connect, and transform. Bravo to all who performed—you’ve made your school and community proud!
