A word from CHARBINK$ :
‘Anyone can learn where the buttons are. The difficult part is developing taste, confidence and understanding why certain records work together.
My goal isn’t to teach students how to copy another DJ. It’s to help them understand music deeply enough that they can build their own identity and make confident decisions behind the decks. Some students want to play their first house party. Others want to perform at clubs and festivals. The lessons adapt to where you’re currently at and where you want to go.’

Session Cost: $200 per hour
