Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Alexander I have been a DJ for over 13 years and a producer as well for over 10 years. My goal is to teach you how to be a digital DJ, to connect your equipment to a system, and to DJ online. A unique aspect of my programs is the fact that I care more about the student learning how to do a DJ mix correctly over the course of one summary lesson or an 8 semester course. In the event that the time is up, I'm willing to extend it, so if it's 30 minutes, and I need 40 to 50 more minutes to show you a little bit more, I'm more than willing to extend.Reviews
