Level 3 · after Intermediate
Advanced DJ course (Level 3)
The last of the three levels, on turntables and CDJs: scratching (baby, drops, chirps, stab, transformer), beat juggling and mixing on vinyl, then switching DJs, reading the crowd, performance skills, self-promotion and your career. About 4 weeks — 12 lessons of 60 minutes with a teacher, a contest after each of the two stages, and 12 practice sessions with a teaching assistant.
