DJ Tutor way of teaching. Go to the grass roots.

Lesson Beginner Stage 0: Before You Start November 2008

Contents of the video

Alright folks, Jonathan here. This is video number four on explaining how to do your own tutorials. Basically any tutorial from the workings of a pen onto what every individual buttony bit will do on a mixer. So the whole idea to wrap this up in four videos If you're going to do a tutorial, be as precise and concise as possible. Don't just explain what you think are the very basics. Maybe have a look at that item and just imagine that there is someone from the planet Zonk up that direction who has landed on Earth and now you have to teach them. In other words, I said this in a video ages ago. Let's imagine you have got a television. In your front room and you ask someone to turn the television on, well for you and I we probably know to look for the on-off button but maybe there are some people who don't even know what the television is. Now that is the factor.

So you have to explain from the very, very basics. This is the whole idea and yes, okay, this is a video tutorial on teaching you how to do tutorials but maybe you don't want to do actual video tutorials. Maybe you would like to teach someone in your room. Maybe eventually you could start up your own tutorial site. Maybe you could start up your own tutorial school. By having the very basics and knowing the very basic knowledge to give will enable you to becoming a very good teacher. I hope that's been a help. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
