Creative DJ Mentorship - Technique, Selection & Artistic Identity

Von 37.69 Fr /Std

This class is designed for anyone who wants to learn DJing as both a technical skill and a creative practice, from complete beginners to more experienced DJs looking to refine their style.

We will focus on building strong foundational DJ skills while also developing each student's personal approach to mixing and music selection.

In this class you will explore:

1. Understanding Rekordbox, Serato, Ableton Live, FL Studio
2. Beat-matching and pitch control (including pitch riding techniques)
3. Creative EQing and fader control for smooth, musical transitions
4. Phrasing and understanding song structure in a DJ context
5. Key awareness and harmonic mixing fundamentals
6. How to work confidently with industry-standard DJ equipment
7. Music curating and the mindset of a digger-selector
8. How to build a DJ set with flow and intention
9. Narrative mixing: energy control, tension, and musical storytelling

Each lesson is adapted to your level and goals, whether you want to play in clubs, improve your technical confidence, or develop a more personal and expressive DJ style.

The aim is to move beyond simply mixing tracks, and towards understanding how to create a coherent and engaging musical experience as a DJ.

Über mich

I would describe myself as a practical and creative DJ mentor who focuses on helping students understand both the technical and artistic side of DJing.

My teaching approach is very hands-on. We spend most of the lesson working directly with music and equipment, so students learn by doing and listening rather than by theory alone. I guide each step in a clear and simple way, while also encouraging experimentation so students can develop their own style and confidence behind the decks.

I hold a BMus (Hons) in Creative Music Technology from the University of Surrey (Department of Music and Media, UK), where I focused on music production and composition, sound design, and creative performance using technology

I especially enjoy working with students who are curious about music, not just mixing technique. My primary goal being to help students develop a personal selector identity and move from simply "playing tracks" to understanding how to build real DJ sets with flow, intention, and personality.

Do you have ideas in your head but you still haven't taken the plunge? Whether you are a novice or an experienced musician, I suggest you dive into production with a tailor-made course on Ableton Live software.

I have been a passionate musician and producer for over 10 years (trained guitarist), and I am here to help you discover and master all the subtleties of Ableton.

Who should attend :

- You are a beginner and you want to discover the interface while composing your first song.
- You are an intermediate or experienced user and would like to perfect your skills and learn more advanced techniques.

What you can expect:

For beginners :
> Discovery of the Ableton Live interface while creating your first composition
> Practical approach without theoretical overload
> Optimization of the course according to your objective and your musical desires
> Provision of resources (packs, templates, presets, etc.)

For Intermediate and Advanced Users:
> In-depth analysis of your compositions with personalized feedback
> Fixed weaknesses and improved existing songs
> Exploring new production techniques, sharing tips, shortcuts and templates
> Section on sampling, sound design and mixing

Examples of topics covered:

- Interface: you will learn how to navigate between Audio and MIDI, use the right tools/plugins, create templates and use essential shortcuts.
- Recording: I will explain to you how I go about properly recording voices or instruments while optimizing the acoustics of your room.
- Composition: learning to use virtual instruments, introduction to sound design and exploration of creative composition techniques (no music theory necessary).
- Arrangement: effectively structure a piece like the pros to avoid redundancy.
- Mixing: control of effects, integration of external plugins, mixing techniques.

Adaptability: depending on your progress, your motivations and your musical preferences, I continually adjust the course to target the specific aspects that you wish to explore or strengthen.

If you're interested, send me a message and I'll answer all your questions :)

I teach everything related to electronic music, both theoretically and practically: DJing, digital and analog production, audio recording, mixing, compositing, etc.
My classes are tailored to each individual's needs and expectations. In addition to video lessons, I can also host classes directly in my studio to practice directly on my equipment (mixing desk, vinyl turntables, synthesizer, modular, drum machine, effects machine, piano, etc.). For those who live in Brussels,
I can also come to your home if you prefer.
