Learn how to become a DJ with Vinyl Records, Ibiza
DJs have become the new Rock Stars, ironically, because of digital DJ technology.
The 'art' of DJing began by taking two vinyl records and mixing them together. Sounds easy, but before you can start you need two records to mix. As the vinyl format is coming back and young aspiring DJs are becoming more interested in having a collection of physical records, they face the same challenges every historic DJ faced.
In this class, I will explain everything there is to know about vinyl DJing, from the shop counter to the platter... the shelf to the dance floor. Where to buy and how to buy the best; how to store and care for your collection; the layout of vinyl; navigating and playing a turntable; understanding the audio properties of phono; beat matching and equalisation; DJing technique and style.
In this class I will pass on over 25 years of DJing experience, and possibly inspire you to become a record collector and DJ.

About Me
Hello Apprentus students,My name is Ian. I'm 43 years old, I've lived and worked in Ibiza for 16 years as a DJ, event production manager and consultant. I was born and educated in London, and spent 8 years at Dulwich College where, amongst other subjects, I studied French, Latin and Spanish. I then graduated from The University of Kent with a BSc in Social Psychology, after which I became a teacher. Throughout that time, I built a reputation as a DJ, which resulted in me becoming an event producer and consultant.
My parents are Irish and I spent most of my school holidays in Ireland, but we also holidayed in Greece, France and the Balearics, which is why I feel at home in the Mediterranean. I have worked in many of Ibiza's language academies, teaching groups and individuals of all ages and competencies.
I have a deep knowledge of grammar in English and Spanish, but if I were to have a teaching 'style', you could call it 'flexible.' My ethos is that language is based on confidence in personal expression. I believe that all of my students have the intelligence to know how they want to express themselves, my job is to help them figure out how they can get better at doing that in a new language, English.

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:
-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used

-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge

Note :

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.
PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Music Production Masterclass: How To Be A Bedroom ProducerBedroom producers form the bedrock that most of the electronic genres comprising today's musical landscape are built off of. With a desktop PC, laptop, tablet or phone and an internet connection, you have near-instant access to all the tools necessary to create sounds literally never heard before in human history. Never has it been easier for an aspiring artist to begin, master and hone their craft, be it a hobbyist looking for a cathartic outlet or a chart-topping, platinum-record-stacking industry giant.
The issue is; making music's tough. And Digital Audio Workstations are scary. And writer's block is terrible. And music theory makes my teeth itch.
With both a masters and bachelors degree in music technology, years of professional musical experience spanning a wide array of genres and applications and eyebrows that'll knock your socks off, I can walk you through everything you need to become an electronic music producer. I can show you advanced tips and tricks to make the most out of your DAW of choice, I can help you with grasping the musical theory necessary to take the stress out of composition, I can teach you how to eradicate the dread of writer's block, discover your own musical voice, and help you become one of the great composers of our modern era. The Beethoven's, the Mozart's, the Tchaikovsky's. Just a little more sleep-deprived, I imagine.
Or I can just help you throw a beat together, whatever suits you.
(As a seasoned mental health battler; I am available midday to midnight GMT for you night owls, and will happily cater to those uncomfortable with face-to-face online sessions. Neither a webcam nor a microphone is necessary, we can pretend it's a Twitch chat if you need. Don't stress yourself out of wanting to learn. Just be prepared for me to monologue about resampling until you interrupt me with an emote.)
