FULL OVERVIEW:
DJ 101 Boot Camp meets once a day (85 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. 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 the Ibiza nightlife circuit, train to be a world battle champ or just to rock the decks at that dive bar in Brooklyn, the DJ 101 Boot Camp is the place to start. In the DJ 101 Boot Camp, no prior experience is necessary. The majority of each class will be spent learning hands-on at your own individual workstation. Each class features a main instructor and TAs 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. Skills Required No skills or prior experience is necessary for the DJ 101 Boot Camp. The DJ 101 Boot Camp is designed for those with very little to no DJ experience.
AFTER THIS COURSE:
When the DJ 101 Boot Camp is over, you’ll be able to perform simple mixing and blending, transition between two songs, and lay down some basic scratches. More importantly, you’ll have perfected the core fundamentals and have a true understanding of this art form. If you want to really develop your mixing skills, then you’re now ready for DJ 201. If you’d prefer to enhance your scratching techniques, then you have the tools you need to tackle DJ 202.
