I don't know if my son will grow up to
be a DJ but maybe you never know I've
seen my son get way more connected to
music he dances and follows spread them
way more I've definitely seen him cross
baby with his toys and like this way
when I first heard about the idea I
thought it was totally insane mm-hmm and
then the more I heard you talk about it
the more I realized that it's actually
genius I got the idea to do baby DJ
school because I was babysitting a
little boy named Ryder he was one and a
half and I had my laptop and my MIDI
trigger with me because I had a gig
after and I asked him do you want to see
how it works and he loved it okay yeah
JB then we went to a concert be seeing
him have that enthusiasm and innocence
enjoy talking about pieces of electrical
equipment that's when I said like it's
time to educate kids about this stuff I
always always freak you before
I went around and posted on like local
blogs and stuff about the class someone
from the Gotham s saw it wrote an
awesome like super snarky post about it
and it thought like a trillion Facebook
likes and shares and tweets hip is such
a word in this talking about baby DJ
school people are like Brooklyn's so hip
it has a baby DJ school and if they just
realized how dorky these classes are
among who's a baby DJ you know it's
totally not hip headphones on next they
did tests and it shows that as young as
three months a baby can recall a melody
and recall specific musical phrases and
that's why my classes are three months
to three years is because that's the
golden period for shaping their minds
they're used to singing along to things
so I'll use a sing-along format and then
make it more interactive
see the laptop and the laptop uses
software I wanted it to be easy for the
parents to remember the lyrics to the
songs so I made them rhyme and I made
the technical knowledge seem easy you
know now we know how to make the signal
flow go okay some of the skills they're
learning our gross motor skills fine
motor skills they're learning to take
turns and socialize with others they're
learning rhythm and they clap to the
beat which ends up helping with language
you know now dance music that's such a
broad part of popular music and
everyone's listening to it the Jo
machine in the sequencer just like the
new folk music yeah it is I think kids
should be exposed to that when they grow
up like they're gonna be making
hopefully be making beats it you know
the age of 8 or whatever yeah you say 1
2 3 see the original music is what I am
you know the most excited about disco
the elements to disco you say oh that's
disco I'm recording I want to get a
Grammy for Best children's record and I
think I can put your favorite songs
inside of me SP fool fool my songs are
my babies and so like giving my baby
to babies and teaching them like to have
a relationship like that it's been a
really special thing for me
there's a level of animation and
excitement that is really necessary to
like
gloss over the fact that we're doing it
over beats that were built in like a
serious drug culture hmm I think
