The turntables and mixer are the DJs instruments, and just like learning to play any other musical instrument, there are core fundamentals you need to understand. So whether your goal is to play in the club, train to be a world battle champ or just to rock the decks, DJ LIVE Music Academy is the place to start. At DJ LIVE Music Academy, no prior experience is necessary. The majority of each class will be spent learning hands-on at our workstation. Each class features a renowned instructor who will work with each student to understand the concepts covered. While getting your practice on is crucial, it’s also important to remember that DJing is a true music art form with a rich culture and history. Portions of each class will cover topics on both the history and culture of the DJ and basic music theory. |

Mixing music allows the DJ to control the energy of the audience. When a DJ’s mixes are truly seamless, there are no uncomfortable pauses or harsh changes in tempo. The music never breaks and the party never stops. DJ LIVE Music Academy breaks down the fundamentals and the techniques as well as the art of mixing. Large portions of the course are dedicated to honing your mixing skills. Your instructors will work with you on beatmatching, transitioning records, cross-genre mixing (mixing tracks from different genres), and more. In addition we’ll also teach you the art of mixing: you’ll learn about the history of mixing in DJ culture, optimal mixing points within tracks, transition tricks to accentuate your set, the art of building a set, and more. By the end of this course, you will put together a mixing set. And don’t forget, DJ LIVE Music Academy teaches the intermediate principles of mixing, no matter what genre or music you want to spin. Whether you like house, rock, hip-hop, dub, or any other type of music (or all the above), we will teach you how to mix it. |

You may already be able to chirp, transform and flare, so DJ LIVE Music Academy focuses on helping you execute these techniques not only more quickly but also in combinations with other scratches to create different effects, sounds, and patterns. Our instructors will augment your chirps with syncopation exercises and pitch stab combinations. We’ll show you one-click, two-click and advanced chirp flare combos. Your transforms will be enhanced with triplet transforms and forward/backward combos. We’ll also introduce new techniques like throws, the boomerang, and autobahn scratches, and DJ LIVE Music Academy will delve more deeply into beat juggling, covering everything from advanced looping to intro and chase patterns. Turntablists aren’t just playing records. They’re creating their own unique musical sounds through the turntable and are real musicians. One of the main goals of DJ LIVE Music Academy is to help students with the application of music theory, timing, hand-eye coordination, technical expertise, and creativity, so they can fully utilize the turntable as a musical instrument and create their own unique compositions. |
