I teach:
- Web Design: This is just a short introduction to the design of your website. You will learn to utilize graphics, the layout and updating to create and publish changes to your website. This training is complimentary when requiring our web design services.
- DJ Techniques: Responsible for design, development and delivery of training courses aimed at teenagers and youth services. Students were taught the history of electronic music from 1901 to present day genres, students also learned how to DJ using good old fashioned Technics 1210′s to modern day DJ techniques and mixing software.
- Music Production: This course investigated the various modern recording techniques with the use of professional music recording software, such as Ableton Live. Students were shown how to record, manipulate, edit and arrange music with the use of computers, software and the latest music making technology.
