AlphaTheta and FEMME HOUSE Launch Online ‘Intro to DJing’ Course

Leading DJ technology company AlphaTheta has teamed with FEMME HOUSE – a nonprofit dedicated to creating more equitable opportunities in music for women, gender expansive and non-confirming, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC creators – on a new online DJ course.

Why it matters:

• The four-session course aims to give aspiring DJs an accessible path to learning foundational DJ skills and workflow.

• It reinforces both organizations’ commitment to making professional music technology education available to more people, regardless of experience or background.

School’s in:

• The course is led by DJ, producer and educator Gera Akate.

• It covers music preparation in rekordbox, song structure, phrasing, beatmatching, cue points, transitions, effects, and energy control.

• The course is built around the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4, with foundational lessons that students using the AlphaTheta DDJ-FLX2 can also follow.

• Enrollment is offered on a pay-what-you-can basis and is open here.

What they said:

• LP Giobbi, Co-Founder of FEMME HOUSE: “Learning to DJ should be exciting – not intimidating. Our mission has always been to make music education more accessible for communities that have historically been underrepresented in the industry. Partnering with AlphaTheta allows us to pair DJ technology with an educational experience that empowers students to build real skills and lasting confidence.”
