So I finally found out today that my class (exco for those who know Oberlin speak) I plan on teaching next semester got approved! woohoo! Very very excited as I see this as a golden opportunity not only to have lots of fun but as a chance to put turntablism into the cultural limelight, the instrument of the futuuuuuuure [said in a Duck Dodgers kind of voice]. Check out my course description below.
Introduction to Turntablism:
Here is your chance to learn the basics behind the instrument of the future! In this class we will survey everything a beginning DJ needs to know; turntablism, sampling, beatmatching, laptop DJing and of course how to scratch. This course comes with a $35 entry fee. The catch? All the entry fees will be pooled together to buy two turntables and a mixer (a.k.a the DJ's set up) which will be the classes' set-up to practice on for the next 12 weeks. At the end of the semester we will have a party and DJ battle between everyone in the class, where the winner will walk away with the set-up to call their own. OH SNAP. Beginners only.
