Additionally, students will learn basic hand to record and hand to fader technique. Class #2: Music Theory, Mixing and Blending Before students can excel as DJ’s, they must first understand the basic music theory behind the music they mix and blend. This class will explore basic music theory and will then cover the fundamental concepts of dropping on the “1” and phrasing. Class #3: Club DJ’ing and BPM’s Students will focus on the essential skill of beat matching, learning about BPM’s and how to differentiate music genres based on beats and tempo.
