so you wanna be a DJ.....

[racerx1225]

if somebody wants to learn how to be a DJ and they have no experience, other than being in and around music for 20 years, they can go out and get equipment, instruction books, software, etc. to learn how to DJ

but

are there any schools, mentors, serious teaching resources for one to learn from?

Whats the best way to learn?

Thanks.

Best way to learn is to buy the best decks, headphones, and mixer you can afford and practice a real lot. You can read a book to learn the basics of beatmatching and such, but no school is gonna be able to teach you how to become a great DJ.

Besides, what really makes a great DJ is his/her ability to play music that people wanna hear and knowing when to drop the right tracks at the right times. In addition, you've gotta develop your own style that sets you apart from everyone else out there.
