This class is perfect for those that would like to learn the art of DJing. The content is specifically prepared and structured to give you the fundamentals beyond the knowledge, experience, confidence, understanding and the ability to DJ.
This is a traditional hardware course, where attendees will develop, hone and master their skills on the industry standard Pioneer CDJ setup.
Here are some of the controllers you can follow this class with:
DDJ-1000
DDJ-800
DDJ400
DDJ-200
DDJ-RZ
XDJ-RX2
XDJ-RR
*Applies to any Rekordbox / Serato Controller
These sessions are highly practical and are heavily focused on the hardware; and developing the skill-set required to qualify as a DJ.
By the end of these sessions, you will be able to gain a better understanding in the art itself. Be comfortable using an industry standard hardware DJ setup. Ideally, all attendees will be able to mix songs of their choice and develop their musical repertoire.
This creative journey is an 8 part series.

Hands-on Class Project
Once you complete the first 4 creative sessions, this is where you need to record (audio and/or video) a DJ set. Use whatever DJ controller you have, make sure you showcase all the cool things you learned so far. You can record using Rekordbox or any other DJ software, also you can use your iPhone/iPad and the DJM-Rec from Pioneer. Create your set as you see fit. Once you have recorded send us a link at skillshare@granular.academy. Once I've listened you will receive a video with feedback and advice and how to move forward. You are just halfway there, sessions 5-8 are tailored for intermediate users.
See you on the next part!
Session 5-8 will be coming next!!!
In the meantime, enjoy DJing, and send us your mixes.
