COLL 135: INTRO TO DJING
Spring 2026 · Section 001 · CRN 25862
Partygoers! Have you ever attended a party at Rice (or elsewhere) and thought to yourself, I really wish I was up there on that stage controlling the music!”? Are you intrigued by the idea of DJing but don’t know how to get started with mixing music? Are you someone who has maybe already had experiences being “on aux” at a function, but wished you could be more creative and put your own personal spin on the music you play? If the answer is “yes” to any (or all) of the above, this is the course for you! In this class, students will learn basic mixing techniques through class periods that incorporate lecture-style teaching, instructor demonstrations, and a lot of time for students to explore and apply techniques learned in class to both music of their choice as well as music that the instructor provides. Students will also be provided with instructional videos to watch and refer to in their own time (however much or little time they choose to allocate to the class) to broaden their knowledge of different DJing skills. This is a fun, creative project-based class that will have no exams and requires no outside prior knowledge of DJing or music theory.
