Private Lessons: The Turntables, an instrument

Instead of piano or violin, you may choose the turntables as your instrument of choice. I teach most of the regular principles of music, such as rhythm, counting, notes, pitch, and phrasing. Plus, with the turntables, you are able to begin having fun from the first lesson!

The art of DJing and being a true turntablist lends itself to improvisation and creative expression while learning to participate in a full band, just like a trumpet or sax. Miles Davis had his trumpet, I have my turntables.

Here is one of my students whom, as you can see, is learning fast. This is him scratching and looping after only 6 lessons!

Buying memory cards is such a time consuming process... You have to search online for prices, filter through which ones are genuine, go out to a bunch of electronics shops,compare prices, finally buy your memory, and then fervently pray that the price doesn't fall in the next month or so.

I've been screwed over by rapid price drops in the past... especially this one time when I bought a Micro SD card for my R4 gaming flash card at what apparently was a bargain price, only to later see that it fell five bucks in a week.
