 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome teacher. I was struggling to beatmatch on the turntables but T through patience and his vast understanding of music started me from the beginning.  Understand the song 1st. Know your phrases.  Learn to count beats and bars. Then practice practice practice.  I would give him LPs he never heard before but his experience as a dj astounded as to how seamlessly he would blend rnb soul & funk from an era way before his time. Money we'll spent. Highly recommend him to anyone wanting to start the art of djing or a hobbyist like myself. Big ups to you T my brother in music.

They offer hands-on lessons that are great for beginners and also for anyone wanting to sharpen their mixing, beat-matching, and performance skills. The instructors are experienced DJs who make the learning process fun, practical, and easy to follow. If you’ve ever thought about learning how to DJ, this is a great place to start. I can highly recommend them — it’s a solid investment if you want to turn your passion for music into a skill you can actually use.

DJ4Life has brought my son out of his shell, so to speak, boosted his self confidence and given him the tools to be the DJ he has always dreamed of becoming. It is a fantastic, fun mentorship program, with well versed lecturers and spectacular facilities. My son says its his 2nd home . . .”
