78 Hours of hands on instruction
This program includes all 4 Levels of Off Centre's DJ curriculum, the entire Full Producer Program, as well as dedicated training sessions for seamlessly combining the two disciplines. As digital technology continues to distort the lines between DJ and Producer you'll begin to bridge these two forms of expression with a balanced education between hardware and software. Here you'll begin to create and translate studio expressions into your live performances by experimenting with real-time remixing, sampling, electronic improvisation, and preparing your own loops, samples, and songs for performance. You'll also become as well versed in mixing tracks as you are in creating your own by developing skills using the latest technology. We'll also dive into composition and orchestration as you learn hands on how to make beats and develop sketches into an original repertoire using Ableton. You will walk away from the Full DJ/Producer program with a completed original track, a polished remix, a recorded mix tape, and the DJ skills to become a unique and well-rounded artist. SEE MORE |
