COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT – INTEGRITY MENTOR

OontzKids DJ Academy is proud to partner with Integrity Mentor, a non-profit organization that supports, guides, educates, and inspires at-risk Middle/High school students in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

At OontzKids, we see first-hand how music can be so much more than a form of entertainment. It can be a passion, a creative outlet, a therapeutic tool, or the soundtrack to life’s biggest moments. For our instructors and many of our students, it has become not only a craft to hone, but a platform for creativity, confidence, leadership, independence, community building, and even entrepreneurship and potential career paths.

Through school events and organizations such as Integrity Mentor, OontzKids aims to provide opportunities for kids and teens to get a taste of DJing, music production, and music performance, speaking in any genre of the world’s universal language- music.

Check out a few of the events that we’ve done with our friends at Integrity Mentor:

In October 2017, OontzKids helped put on Vizient Community Day at the Irving ISD Student Reassignment Center. Throughout the day, approximately 30 students got their first taste of DJing with “Oontztructors” Dan & DJ KB on hand to guide them through the fundamentals. While like any musical instrument, the craft can’t be learned in just a few hours, the students loved the interaction and immediate response they could get from adjusting musical properties of their favorite songs such as tempo, pitch, EQ, and start points. Some talented students were even able to match the tempos of two of their favorite songs and transition smoothly from one to the other.

In January of 2018, OontzKids took on a bigger project and went more in depth with an all day workshop for Integrity Mentor at Texas Health in Arlington. In this workshop, the students spent the better part of a day diving into the fundamentals. We not only worked on techniques such as song phrasing, beat matching, and EQ mixing, but discussed real world applications of the technology and the social impact that it can have.

It’s an honor to work with this wonderful organization and we look forward to many more events in the future. If you are a school or an organization that would like to schedule an event with OontzKids, please contact us with details to discuss the possibilities!

At OontzKids, we’re all about music, family, friends, and dancing, so where better to get all of these things at once than Disco Kids Dallas! This awesome program takes place on Friday nights and gives kids the chance to dance to their favorite music with their favorite people, and make new friends along the way. DiscoKids and their resident teen DJs have been kind enough to let some of the top OontzKids students take the decks for a set and get the feel of what it’s like to lead a party for a few hundred people. Djs Alex, Sebastian, Daniel, Grant, and Austin have all had their chance in the booth and raved about what an awesome experience it was. Are you next? Get started with one of our upcoming Summer DJ Camps!

SCHOOL VISITS

We love to visit schools! Whether we’re visiting a music class, presenting at a career day, or even putting on a half-day or all day workshop for students and teachers, we love to see how music makes students light up and even inspires some to explore music further.

We can customize the visit to suit your needs, whether we focus on music, history, technology, or a combination of the three. While we can provide some shorter, simpler visits free of charge, we do need to charge for longer, more involved visits with lots of time and equipment involved.

Contact us today to discuss how OontzKids can work with you and your school.

Words from our Parents

My son had so much fun at DJ Camp! OontzKids outfits each child with top-notch equipment so he or she can work independently and create personalized music mixes. Dan Quinn sets a valuable example, asking kids to “be excellent to each other.” He is kid- and parent-friendly. I was particularly impressed with his respect for the students’ individuality and his gentle constructive criticism. Dan makes each class enjoyable and throws a great dance party on the last day! I would highly recommend OontzKids DJ Camp for any student looking for a unique kind of fun!

My kids have attended many camps and lessons over the years. OontzKids DJ Academy was by far one of the best camps we have been involved with. Dan Quinn is fun, personable, and energetic. He is passionate about what he is teaching which translates to his students through his engaging, hands-on approach and individualized instruction. My son thoroughly enjoyed attending OontzKids, and this was a camp that he was excited to attend each day. He learned so much about a new concept that had interested him for a while and one that he can continue to grow with. If your kids love music, I highly recommend OontzKids DJ Academy.

Zach loved his time at OONTZKids Camp! He had so much fun, learned so much - being on the news and getting to put on his performance at the end were AMAZING! His time spent with DJ Dan and DJ Paul and have taken his love of music to a whole new level - both guys are fun to be around and show the kids a great time. Highly recommended :) Thanks Dan!

- TANYA R

Thank you for the share! Our little rockstar loves music and has been mixing for a bit, but never stepped foot on a stage until the workshop! Thank you for guiding him and helping him on his journey! He is so passionate and clearly loves Dj’ing!

These kids all show great understanding of beat matching and phrasing, which serves as the foundation for mixing a live DJ set. 👏 👏 👏

We had an INCREDIBLE experience in New Orleans las We had an INCREDIBLE experience in New Orleans last week. OontzKids founder Dan Quinn (@dqb_entertainment) and @djlorenmiller led a team of volunteers from the @engagesummits luxury wedding conference to spend an afternoon teaching kids from the City of Nee Orleans how to DJ. With funding donated by the Engage Foundation, we were also able to donate all of the laptop computers and controllers to the Colorful Butterflies and Star is Born organizations to give these kids the opportunity to pursue their musical passions with access to these tools that would otherwise be hard for them to come by.

Thank you to the Engage Foundation for making this happen, to all of the amazing volunteers, and to @derekchanfilms for the awesome video recap!
We had a great time last night at @gses.dallas whe We had a great time last night at @gses.dallas where so many students got their hands on DJ gear for the first time. There were lots of song requests, lots of scratching, hot cue smashing, and air horn samples. Can’t wait to teach these kids how to mix, edit, ans produce for real this summer!
