In Their Own Words

“My students learn how to play records, how to scratch them, and how to program music, and they also study the history of dance music focusing on New York, Chicago, and Detroit, Michigan. In the advanced course, I teach sampling and beatmaking. I always try to have them learn the most, regardless of the level that they start from, teaching from my own experience behind the decks and giving them precise tools so that each of them is able to develop their own style as DJs.”

“As an active DJ and producer, the most important thing to me is practice, so I keep them practicing from the first to the last day of class until they learn every secret behind their new instruments: the turntables, mixer, sampler, and drum machine.”
