DJ Lessons

This was fun! A one-on-one hands on experience where an instructor tells you the basics of the turntables and music theory. You get to scratch alongside the DJ for the last 15 minutes of class. Cool, but it felt like they held back a little to make me want to buy the class lessons. Overall, great fun and I wish I had more time!

DJ Lesson at Scratch Academy

I had such a great experience! My private one-on-one DJ lesson was really interesting, perfectly paced, and my instructor was awesome. I have a discovered a new, real respect for the craft of deejaying! I didn't know what to expect going in and was blown away that a place like Scratch existed. So cool!

Excellent experience! DJ Esquire is a great teacher who can either help a beginner with the basics of scratching and mixing, or show an experienced DJ some more advanced technique. He really knows his stuff!
