“We could not be more pleased with the early success and interest
in the program,” said Stiles. "We put a great deal of thought in
how we wanted to create a DJ School that not only teaches the
foundations and fundamentals of being a DJ, but also opens up our
students to all the creative possibilities"

Intermediate DJ Techniques along with Scratching and Turntablism 202
are open not just to Beat Refinery students but also to experienced
DJs.

"Seasoned DJs can also benefit from the Beat Refinery's Intermediate
and Advanced courses,” says Stiles. “With the ever changing
technologies in so many fields, professionals are constantly required
to evolve and adapt and DJing is not excluded from this".

Intermediate DJ Techniques allows students to dive a bit deeper into
what it takes to become a great DJ. Move from novice to mid-level
skills in all facets of the turntables. Learn about trick mixing,
intermediate Scratching and Mixing as well as Music Programming and
Multi Genre Mixing. Become more adept with Serato Scratch Live® and
its functionality. Entry level Remixing, Editing and Production

Scratching and Turntablism 202 tackles the advanced techniques of
turntable manipulation. Learn all the difficult scratches along with
becoming a beat maker with just a needle and a record. Get familiar
