Possible learning goals during the class
01
Beat match
The basis skill for DJing is matching the beat, which takes practice and knowledge on how to perfectly sync tracks together with most likely different BPM.
03
Effects
After you get the hang of the basis skills you can start to experiment with different effects. The equipment gives you many options, but it is important to know when, where and how you do this and on which kind of track.
05
Presentation
How you present yourself during your set is an important aspect of DJing because it allows you to connect with the crowd and makes for a better experience of your adience.
02
Transition
After you match the tracks, the second basis skill is transitioning from one track to another. How do you make this sound flawless and when is it time to get a new track in?
04
Track selection
It is important to know what kind of track selection you need to make to give your adience the best experience. You need to be able to read the energy and vibes of the people on the dancefloor and be prepared for changes and adjustments during your set.
06
Tips and tricks
Every DJ has his own tips and tricks on how to anticipate on different situations during a set. What do you do if your headset breaks? What if the energy is low in the room? What if the equipment in the club is not ideal? Aspects like these may occur during your set and can be discussed during the lesson.
