DJ Lessons for Beginners: Foundations of Mixing and Music Selection

From 85.29 £ /h

This is not a technical DJ lecture. It is a creative lab.

In this workshop, we explore DJing as storytelling, cultural curation, and emotional architecture. Whether you are a beginner curious about mixing or a creative looking to refine your artistic identity.

We cover:

Software and hardware essentials

Track selection

How to build a narrative through sound

Reading the room and shaping energy

Developing your sonic identity

The relationship between DJing and community

Participants engage in listening exercises, mini curation challenges, and real-time feedback. Instead of rigid rules, we experiment. Instead of copying trends, we discover what we love.

This class is for DJs, music lovers, cultural organizers, and anyone who wants to understand how music moves people and spaces.

You will leave with practical tools, sharper ears, and a clearer sense of your creative voice behind the decks.

I have more than 6 years mixing in clubs, private parties and festivals. I have played in important stages in Mexico and Europe with names such as Solomun, Maceo Plex and Adriatique.

Creative English Professor for Curious and Bold Minds

45.1 £ /h

I host engaging, remote English sessions designed to transform language learning into a creative, immersive experience. Rather than focusing on rigid grammar drills, my classes turn unconventional and specialized topics into dynamic conversations that spark curiosity and confidence.

Each 60 minute live session blends storytelling, real-world themes, and hands-on experimentation. We explore English through culture, creative projects, niche interests, and meaningful dialogue. Whether we are analyzing a song, building a personal brand narrative, or discussing sustainability and community, the goal is always the same: connection over memorization.

My workshops prioritize human interaction, expressive communication, and practical language use. Students leave not only with improved English skills, but with ideas, inspiration, and the confidence to use their voice naturally and creatively.

Aspiring or lifelong music lover

Have you always dreamed of grooving with an electric bass, creating your own basslines and rocking the notes that drive your favorite music? Do not look any further ! You've come to the right place to start or improve your bass guitar skills.

My name is Yoann "MAY", and I am a music enthusiast with over 20 years of experience as a professional bass player and pedagogue. I had the chance to play with various bands and artists, and I am delighted to share my knowledge and my passion with you.

Why choose my bass guitar lessons?

Personalized approach: Each student is unique, which is why my lessons are adapted to your objectives, your level and your musical preferences. Whether you are a beginner or want to improve your game, I am committed to guiding you in an efficient and caring manner.

Solid Foundations: Whether you want to learn the basics of bass guitar or aim to master advanced techniques such as slap, tapping, thumb pluck or improvisation, I'm here to teach you the essential foundations that will lead to create your unique game.

Applied Music Theory: Understanding music theory is key to playing creatively and fluently. I'll help you demystify the theory by linking it directly to your bass guitar playing, so you can play with confidence and understand what you're playing.

Varied repertoire: Learning the bass guitar doesn't just mean playing repetitive exercises. We'll work on tracks and styles you're passionate about, whether it's rock, funk, jazz, blues, death metal or other genres.

Auditory Enrichment: I will help you develop your musical ear, recognize rhythms and improvise in harmony with other instruments.
