seriosuly though, i won't go as far as saying your school is a ripoff...it just amazes me that people pay you and you don't even teach them basic fundamentals.

how much do you charge if you don't mind my asking.


Posted by PivotTechno on Sep-16-2010 16:53:

So you're telling me there's something wrong with the way I teach, just because I don't teach the way you'd expect to be taught? Huh?

Basic fundamentals to me implies that good DJing comes from the body, not from the head, so that's how I teach. If you want to count beats in your head, go right on with it, but you won't be doing it on my setup.

I'm in my 3rd decade of DJing and aside from someone who decided he couldn't finish his sessions and wanted his money back (I don't do refunds), I have yet to hear one complaint from the 50+ students who've come through my door in the past year and a half. In fact, one of my first students threw down a solid inaugural set on his first big rig at a charity fundraiser we held earlier this summer.

And what does what I charge have to do with anything, when you've obviously set your mind to the fact that you don't like the way I teach (without even having tried it)?

do you print little certificates when they pass the "shake head" segment of a class? No offense but schools like yours are a ripoff.


No offense, but go fuck yourself.

how much?

i bet you won't answer that one

i know a lot of successful djs that do this for a living and not one went to a school like yours.


Posted by PivotTechno on Sep-16-2010 17:35:

Who cares who you know, how successful they are and how they learned how to DJ?

And I'll give you my rates when you explain the relevance of making such an inquiry in relation to the methods I use to teach.

Or are you just asking because you want to rip on another aspect of what I offer?

If it's the former, please enlighten me. If it's the latter (99.9% odds say it is), I stand by my post prior to this one.

because of posts like this on your facebook page.

people don't need to pay for classes to learn how to be an unemployed dj.

"those who can't do, teach."


Posted by PivotTechno on Sep-16-2010 17:42:

And to wit, I've had people come to me who've signed up for lessons at established, "fully registered" DJ schools, only to find themselves vying for instructors' attention along with a half-dozen other students during a $45 (even my highest fee is lower than this, and with the exception of special seminars, all of my sessions are one-on-one), one-hour session. This alone pretty much blows out of the water the notion that "you get what you pay for" - price certainly isn't everything.

And those who have nothing of any real value to contribute, troll.

Ok ladies put that hand bags away.

This thread has bored me (no offense to OP) from the start so would have stopped this earlier had i been reading it but there really is no reason to be arguing.

If Pivot can make money teaching kids how to dj. So be it.

I don't care if he teaches them to scratch with their member or how best to strike the jesus pose. Everyone's trying to make a little extra here and there on the side.

Whether or not you think it's a rip off is up to you. But criticising his technique.. Ugh, who cares. There's not one set way to learn. Everyone knows that.

Any help at the beginning is better than no help.

Now stop bitching girls. Back OT please.

Yeah, I get it, you've been ostracized from the COR and now you're just taking the shotgun approach with your hatorade in a desperate plea for attention...

However, I suppose you should be cut some slack, noting your useful input in this thread, comparable in calibre to the rest of the fodder that comes from your keyboard:
