KGNU Music DJ Training

After you have attended a KGNU Volunteer Orientation, if you are interested in learning more about becoming a KGNU on-air DJ, you must attend a KGNU Virtual DJ Training. This introductory session will give you a closer look at KGNU’s music programming and ethos, and get you started on your first task towards becoming a DJ at KGNU.

Participation in KGNU’s Music DJ Training involves the following steps:

Create an account on KGNU's volunteer website.
Once you have signed up for an account, you will be asked to list your qualifications. For this opportunity, the only requirement is attending a KGNU Volunteer Orientation. If you have not attended a volunteer orientation yet, please visit kgnu.org/volunteer for more information.
After you have filled out your qualifications, you can then sign up for the KGNU Virtual Music DJ Training.

Record a voice break demo from home and submit it to your instructor (instructions will be given during workshop).
Once demo is approved, schedule in-person training in Boulder/Denver studio where you will learn how to create an in-studio demo.
Schedule solo studio time to practice and create an in-studio demo. Submit demo to your instructor.
Once demo is approved, a final in-studio finishing touches training will be scheduled and you will be put on the schedule for your first on-air shift (all new DJs begin their on-air work in the late night blocks).

You must attend a KGNU Volunteer Orientation before you can participate in our music DJ training program.

If you have any questions about this process, please email Joel Davis at rtc@kgnu.org
