I teach you how to mix on professional Pioneer gear, focusing on your specific taste in music and building your unique style.

Here we are getting into the groove. I'm showing my student how to feel the rhythm and anticipate the next drop. It's all about building confidence behind the decks.

That moment of joy when you successfully mix two tracks for the first time. My goal is to make learning fun and remove the pressure, so you can truly express yourself through music.

About One-on-One DJ Lessons

We start with the fundamentals, specifically manual beat-matching. I do not use the 'Sync' button in my teaching, because true DJing is about understanding bar counts, phrasing, and the rhythm logic behind your music. This approach ensures you develop a real technical foundation, not just a shortcut.

Whether you are picking up a controller for the first time or looking to refine your transitions, my lessons are tailored to where you currently stand.

My Teaching Philosophy

I believe DJing is an act of self-expression. My one-on-one sessions move away from standard classroom formats to focus on real-world skills. You will work directly with professional Pioneer equipment, such as CDJs and DDJ controllers, to get a feel for the gear used in festivals and clubs.

What We Cover

  • Manual Beat-Matching: We will learn to align tracks by ear, mastering bar counts and 4/4 timing without relying on automated software features.
  • Advanced Mixing: For those in the Foundation Course, we cover EQ isolation, harmonic mixing using the Camelot wheel, and creative FX usage like filters and echoes.
  • Mashup Logic: I will show you how I approach my own signature mashups, blending different genres like Bollywood and House to create something distinct.
  • Demo Recording: By the end of our sessions, you will record a polished 15-minute mix that you can keep as a reference or use for your portfolio.

Practical Details

I offer both an introductory 90-minute session and a comprehensive 5-session Foundation Course. While I am based in Agartala, my classroom is mobile. I host lessons at the venues where I perform, allowing you to learn in an environment that bridges the gap between practice and a live gig. If you are ready to move beyond the basics and find your sound, let's connect.
