Teaching Methodology
Progression is always the goal and we can start anywhere. Whether you're brand spankin' new to the art or a battle tested veteran, Mission: DJ's customized lesson plans will drive you to your goals.
DJing is very technical and has many moving parts but fear not - anyone can learn. Everyone learns at different speeds so we'll tackle the skills that you want to learn together, at YOUR pace.
​
Students will be provided with a lesson plan as well as notes following their lessons. Occasionally there will be homework but lets be honest, this is homework you'll finally look forward to!
