Young DJ Academy

2008 sees the beginning of a unique project for The Young DJ Academy. We are pleased to announce modern soul academy will be here in Ireland working with us for a limited time. The modern soul academy bring their unique brand of musicality to Irish shores, having previously worked here on a number of  projects in the past few years. These pieces of work were so popular with the young people who participated in them that we have decided to link together to offer similar workshops to other interested groups.

The Modern Soul Academy (MSA) is an education based program dedicated to enhancing the lifestyle of young adults through music. This program was created for the Hip-Hop generation, youth between 15-25 years of age. MSA specializes in the development and promotion of education using the popular culture of Hip-Hop as a tool to encourage and engage with young people. MSA programmes has been in existence for (4) years, bringing together youth from various backgrounds, socially and culturally. The work also tends to focus on personal development in certain areas of interest to youth. Music and culture (lifestyle) is universal and it has a profound influence over the youth of today. We show students that learning can be enjoyable and gratifying. MSA’s goal is to educate, encourage, and motivate students through the enjoyment of learning about different aspects of Hop Hip culture. Get more info on www.soulacademy.com.

For the next five months soul academy are interested in working with groups in a developmental way, facilitating young people in whatever they aspire to. It may just be that some young people would like to try their hand at experimenting with Hip Hop or maybe developing further what they have already been doing, either way the soul academy is a valuable resource to tap into. Workshops are facilitated by Tim Weedon who is the founder of modern soul academy and has worked extensively with youth projects in the past.
