DJ Starter Course (1 month)
This comprehensive course teaches you how to make a mix set with the music you love. The aim is to make, practice and record a 1 hour mix set. This class takes 1-2months depending on the songs you wish to mix and how much preparation you do at home. After completing this course you will have your own mix set that you can play at venues, and you will understand what those megastar DJs are doing when they are on stage twisting those knobs.
Getting to Know You and Your Passion for Music

What’s Covered in this Course?

Scratching Course (1 month)
This course is very hands on with 100% of the class being 1:1 practical lessons. Scratching is quite easy to learn basic patterns but very difficult to master the advanced patterns so the speed in which you progress through this course will be entirely based on how quickly you as an individual learn and master the techniques. As a DJ I found learning to scratch the most highly challenging and highly rewarding aspect of DJ, you might too!
