The Art Of DJingThe mandate of downtown Toronto's Off Centre DJ School is simple: have fun with records and electronics! We strive to find new ways to teach and creatively express ourselves by playing with sound. At OC we emphasize the roots of DJ culture: vinyl, two turntables, and a mixer. Combined with modern software and studio artistry, the creative possibilities are endless. By focusing on turntables and production gear as instruments, performance and creation takes on a completely different shape. While the art of DJing and scratching has often been clouded by gimmicks, competition, and commercialism, we bring to the learning environment the school of thought that the DJ is a musician playing an instrument of personal expression called the turntable. |
Featured Courses - March Break Intensive
12 hours of Hands on Instruction // March 12th - 15th // 1 - 4pm
The main focus of this Intensive camp is to develop hand skills, basic music theory, and experiment with different ways of playing with sound on the turntables. We'll also introduce you to digital DJing with a look at the latest software. We'll compare the pluses and minuses of both approaches and examine how to integrate the skills of each in creating your first mini set.
