stryke303 Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 ...me...now, before everyone gets their CP panties in a bunch, let me first say that the idea of a school to teach DJing was a joke to me until earlier this year when i was asked to speak at the SAE DJ school in North Miami. What I witnessed there were kids (and adults) who were truly passionate about DJing and wanted to learn as much as possible. I have since removed my elitist attitude toward learning the skill of DJing. DJing is a skill which can be taught and learned. It's what you do with it as an individual which sets you apart....that can't be taught. However, I'm happy to give back a little of what I've learned over the past 16 years (that's right...16) years of DJing back to some people who want to know....so...classes begin 2nd week of jan...you can call the school and ask for Chris Schafer for more info...ok, let the CP bullcrap of talking pure s**t begin!

pod Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 You should rig up a booth simulator of sorts...have people play the role of the owner, entourage, and I'll gladly do a guest spot as the guy with the camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest saleen351 Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 when you teach how to lay vocals over a beat, make sure you call oscar, he's lost on how to do that.... but supply the vocals, he doesn't own any......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mala Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 I can come down and play the role of 'DJ whore.' I can jump up and down in front of the booth (glowsticks in hand), chant their name relentlessly, annoy them to autograph my records, and fling my panties in their face.

shroomy Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 styrke,why do you think we would be elitest about it?? I think its pretty cool. Hell I would love to know more about DJ'ing even with no asperations beyond personal enjoyment and being able to apreciate more the incredible level of skills you guys have.I never did believe you had to know how to spin to love the music, and am happy to play my role as happy ignorante clubber, but it certainly would be cool to be able to snap my fingers and get the skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerclaw Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 I wonder what sort of grading system they would use, probably your typical A thru F, And they would probably grade you on your beat matching, Cueing, Track selection and whatever.

o0djfx0o Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 Teaching some where one is can get pretty challenging sometimes. A dear friend of mine counts like this...One-and-two-and-three-and-four-and...etcOnly problem is that his downbeat counts fall on the "and" parts of his counts...and I've never been able to break him out of it. To think he can tear up a dancefloor a half beat off al night long just boggles my mind!heheheBest of luck StrykeFX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brwneydtrouble Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 You know I am there, that goes without saying. I too believe that certain aspects of DJing can be taught and learned, especially the technical parts. Its always good to know the full potential and capabilites of all your equipment. There is only so much you learn by trial and error.And besides, of ALL the DJs to learn from, who better than Stryke?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
