DJ Lessons
Forever Vinyl DJs set up DJ Lessons a decade ago, and has since graduated and employed some wonderful club DJs and event DJs. Each lesson is tailored to what the budding DJ wants to learn.
I felt confident turning my main setup over to a student for a New Year's Eve double booking, and it was a fantastic night. Start your training today, as tomorrow never comes.

In-Home Professional Dee Jay Lessons and Training
Forever Vinyl DJs will bring a computer setup to your home or a location of your choice to provide DJ lessons and professional disc jockey training. Years of calls asking for Dee Jay and gear advice and training prompted DJ Clint to outline a lesson plan for starting your first mix. This plan led to other lessons on improving your dj mixes and completing everything from recordings to promotions. Contact K.C. Vinyl DJs now to reserve a learning session with yourself or someone important to you.

You can have lessons in your own home with my portable dj setups. A beginning option is to meet you at Big Dudes Music City in K.C. or at a Guitar Center so we can pick out a starter setup for you.
Young DJs will grow stronger each day.
Learning while young is very important for the brain. Any instrument allows the brain to make connections it never would have before, creating a web of language, beat, and emotion as a means to express ideas.
No one should hesitate to learn because they are older. A great number of successful DJs in Kansas City started in their middle 30s and 40s, and now play successful club gigs. It is, however, very beneficial to children to get them playing with musical instruments before they get hooked on video games.
DJ Hero is Not a Teaching Tool
Ask any guitarist what they think of guitar hero, and they will tell you they strongly dislike it. Buying a plastic interface like DJ Hero only adds to the junk collection, and quickly becomes a boring castaway. Buying a real piece of gear that works with computers and cds will provide real value and entertainment while teaching skills with electronics and caring for property. Buy the best gear you can afford, and call me if you have questions on a budget intro-DJ package.
DJ Lesson Batch 1 - Dee Jay Basics
Understanding the gear you are working with is very important in order to avoid ruining your gear and harming yourself and others. Begin here with disc jockey basics, a lesson intended to give you enough training to get you started without overloading the crate.
An effective lesson requires around 4 hours to complete, but an intro of one hour will give enough time to get the gear going and get the very basic dj skills down. Group rates are available for $20 per extra kid per hour if you are having a

DJ Lesson Batch 2 - Intermediate Disc Jockey Training
Busting out the first dee jay mix is very rewarding, but pales in comparison to the feeling of a flawless DJ set. Prepare yourself for the next level of training, where focus is put on making better decisions. Beatmaching is still going to be difficult for some time as your brain learns to hear and differentiate two different drum tracks going while blocking out synthesizers and instruments. Learn more key strategies to bring your mixes tighter.
