An experience with one of his students taught him what educators can learn from DJs. Both must produce original work, perform in front of a live audience, and adjust their styles to their audiences’ needs. Gary’s five learning themes are (1) DJs compose and conduct very well; thus educators need to create something new and personal to appeal to their audiences; (2) DJs compel the engagement of their audiences; (3) DJs collaborate and cooperate with direct competitors, better known as “coopetition”; (4) music is constantly evolving and changing, and the teaching experience should as well; and (5) DJs create an epic experience filled with images that connect with their audience.
