DJ Scratching, Turntablism, DJ Course - Manchester Midi School

Scratch Lab
This specialist DJ course covers all aspects of DJ scratching and turntablism, embracing the cutting edge use of DJ technology.

The Scratch Lab is taught on a one-to-one basis, due to the intricate nature of these DJ skills. You will be given the opportunity to gain key DJ scratching and turntablism techniques, at your level, from beginner to pro standard. The tricks of the trade such as the 'Flair' and the 'Crab' are broken down into simple steps, clearly explained and demonstrated by our professional Turntablist. In addition you will pick up the essential new technical knowledge needed as DJ scratching 'goes digital' with Stanton’s Final Scratch.

A combination of these topics can be covered in a single day’s training at the school. Each session is 4 hours, with additional practical session time available for perfecting the art of DJ scratching. Priced at £141 (inc. VAT).
