FULL OVERVIEW:
M 202 Boot Camp meets once a day (120 minutes per day) for five days. Because some students are not able to commit to our regular six week courses, Scratch offers an opportunity for accelerated learning in our Boot Camps. Boot Camps cover all the same materials and topics as our regular courses, just condensed into five consecutive days of classes. Essentially, you cover all materials in one week. If you register for a Boot Camp, you will receive the same time and attention as any other student at Scratch. 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. The M 202 Boot Camp 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 six-week course, you will put together a six song mixing set. And don’t forget, M 202 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. Skills Required Those who take the M 202 Boot Camp should have an understanding of the DJ fundamentals. You do not need to be an expert, but you should have some experience with beatmatching. It is recommended that all those who take the M 202 Boot Camp have completed DJ 101 (or the DJ 101 Boot Camp) or already be familiar with the concepts covered in DJ 101.
AFTER THIS COURSE:
Once you’ve completed the DJ 201 Boot Camp, you will have a strong comprehension of beatmatching and mixing techniques as well as the experience and knowledge to mix almost any track. To continue developing your mixing, check out DJ 301, Advanced Mixing. You can also check out one of our scratching courses (DJ 202 or DJ 303) to learn about turntablism.
