russell Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm in the gong but I have no idea how to approach teaching someone =\I am probably one of the worlds worst teachers. Too impatient when it comes to that kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Raptor Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hey Dj Raptor can you outline your experience as DJHi BigKev...Started mobile djing in the 90's, moved onto club residencies, under 18's and one off club shows, then started dj the local raves, then hard trance in clubs around sydney etc.I'm offering my services just to give the real beginner a point in the right direction. Basically helping to get the basics of beat matching and of course giving them exposure to CD, Vinyl and Serato.There are about 2 pages of different aspects of DJing that needs to be covered when I'm helping the beginner out.Hope that answers your question.

imadje Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Lol. Depends on their level and knowledge and music taste. I start with the play buttons and the volume faders. Then cross fader. Then counting beats and bars. Next how to recognise the first beat of a bar. Then maybe matching a second tune but prob just timing cuts first. You dont wanna scare a noob off on their first go so stick with stuff that will get good results for them until they hooked enough to face a few setbacks. Eg)End of first lesson- i beatmatch and they count in and fade. Unless of course they have natural ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Give them the same record on each deck. Good method for learning to beatmatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
