turntablism ey, nice.

Honesltly mate, just hook up with someone one here who knows how to mix. If your just looking to mix and learn the basics im sure not many would complain about giving a hand. All you would need is the basic idea, and to get shown what to do, rest of it should be taught by self taught.

Exceptions i can think of would be like Mr Anzac here, who can teach you the aspects of turntabalism etc, which your average dj wouldnt be able to.

bloody hell - nitpicking much?

a female only dj course is a novel idea - something different in which to attract clientele

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is, "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is, "Probably because of something you did."

Its great that there is a course for females, because DJing is mainly MALE dominated!

Bring on the girls like LISA LASHES, LISA PIN-UP and of course BEXTA!! AWESOME!!

There are DVD's, books etc that are helpful and are out there to learn the trade.

Depending on the course cost, the books and DVD's are a viable option.

Ok, I didnt really want to turn this into shameless self promotion, however I will answer a few of your questions.

Firstly, we offer a package of training which is not covered any where else.

International dance music labels and dj s have acknowleded that we are innovative in our
structure, curriculum content and approach.

Sure, you can be the best mixer in the world, but never leave your bedroom cause these are
particular issues that need to be covered. ( see Course content overview)

I have a Masters degree in educational pyschology and Teaching degree, and our theory component is based on the latest Teaching and learning methodologies.

My business partner, DJ professor x also have extensive Club experience and is highly skilled in the art and science of dj ing.

The course is also has a practical hands on approach.

COURSE CONTENT OVERVIEW

OUTCOMES

* Learning to be a Club and Mobile Dj
* Exploration and analysis of Cd vs Vinyl vs Digital software
* Marketing and Promoting strategies and secrets of the Top dj s
* Planning and organizing special events, club nights, parties, functions, etc
* Mixing, Scratching, Special Effects on the best Mixers ,Top of the range CD players and Turntables
* Music – Styles, Genres, and where to get them from
* Types of Equipment, How to use it, and troubleshooting issues
* Music Production, remixing tracks and Mc'ing,
* Occupational Health, Safety, and Welfare regulations and Codes of Practices.
* Starting a Business, Business Planning and Proposals, Taxation issues, Business Contracts
* Exploration of Career Pathways in the Dance Music Industry, including Radio Broadcasting
* Planning and performing a live dj set showcasing their skills at a Graduation Celebration
* Dance Music Industry leaders and Award Winners sharing their experiences and inner circle secrets

Our first 4 courses were held at derringers Music, we had 4 set up of the Industryb standard latest Pioneer equipment, eg Pioneer 1000mk3 and the new Pioneer 400's, plus technics, plus pioneer mixers.

Our latest course is in 6IX bar lounge ( club environment).

Our first 4 course had a miture of males and females so that was no issue.

However, education research has identified that Gender specific classes generate higher educational outcomes than mixed gender, this is why some high schools are gender specific. Therefore our current course ids female only to cater for females which choose to learn with other females, we also have female dj presenters talking about their views and experiences in the dance music industry.

Our next course is again a mixed course for both male and females.

We also Donate a substantial amount of funds to Disadvantaged Youth.

Our classes are small so that we can provide maximum learning opportunities, ( between 6 - 8) students per course,

Our course fees for a 7 week course has been $250 , wedneday nites 6.30pm-8.30pm

The last week of the course involves a Graduation and Celebration where each student performs a live set to a full house of punters and receives a graduation certificate.

I hope this covers your questions.

cheers
