0:00 There's many online classes on learning how to become a DJ on the web

Right, so there's many online classes on learning how to become a DJ on the web. But where am I different? Well, I'm sure there are some people who will give one-to-one lessons, but I truly believe I was the first DJ to give one-to-one DJ lessons around the world. Now, how does it work? Well, I have my webcam. You have your webcam. We go through the medium of either Google Hangouts, we can go through Skype. More importantly now, what I seem to be using is Facebook private message video calls. So this is how it works. You'll set up your webcam with your kit in front of you in your room. I have my kit behind me, whether it be vinyl turntables, controllers, CD players, goodness knows what. The choice is yours.

Also, the style of music you want me to use. Now, I have my kit, you have yours. I have a webcam so you can see and hear everything I do. And you have a webcam so I can indeed see and hear everything you do. Now, very quickly as well, each session is completely confidential, alright? I do not say to anyone who you are, where you're from, what you do. It is just me and you and that is it. Now, I can teach people who are complete and utter, excuse me, beginners up through intermediate and advanced sort of tips and tricks on any style of kit and any style of music as well. Now, some people like to write notes. On the other hand, other people just like the lesson and that's it. But a tip for you if you do have any one-to-one lessons by myself, download OBS which is Open Broadcast Software.

1:50 Every single, different someone, completely different

Put that on your laptop. You can do screen record and you can record the entire session to watch over and over again. Now, the key to my lessons is this. It is, apart from being confidential and apart from being one-to-one, every single session is unique because I build my sessions around you, not around a curriculum. So, for example, I've got a complete new DJ and you want to know how to beat match on vinyl turntables. Now, that's going to be completely different to someone who is, say, a new DJ and they've got a small controller. And that's going to be completely different to someone who is a new DJ who, say, has got a vinyl turntable and they can then only afford a CD player to go with that. You see, so this is it. Every single person is unique.

3:14 Even if it's the last second, we just rebook

You can book, say, one one-hour session, and it's 20 UK pounds. Alternatively, you may want to spend 90 pounds, and you get five one-hour sessions. Do as I did with my last video and let me know if you've looked through my other videos. Now, let's imagine you book five sessions and you book it for a Tuesday at two o'clock in the afternoon. And at five to two, all of a sudden there's a major disaster or you can't make it, your car's broken down. Don't worry about it. Even if it's the last second, we just rebook. You will always get your five lessons. Now, also, you may think that, well, if I book five, I've got to have them in a certain time, maybe in June, July or August. You don't. You can have them any time you want.

I mean, all right, we're not talking about six, ten months or years, but so long as you have them in two or three months, three or four months, that's absolutely fine. So you could have one today, one the following week and maybe one, two or three weeks later. It's entirely up to you. Now, I teach... I teach UK GMT time, anything from nine o'clock in the morning till eight in the evening. So even though that is UK time zone based, it's pretty much sort of first thing in the morning here when it's last thing in the night in Australia and maybe by the afternoon in the UK, you're getting up in America. So if you are interested, then send me an email. There is an email address in the description. I'll send you a link to the email address in the description of this video and let's start talking now, really, the important part here is you, that is it.

I do not teach on a set routine where I say this is what you've got to learn end of I listen to you, I talk to you, I understand how you need to be taught and then we go from there. All right, get in touch, practice and enjoy. Thank you.
