Lessons in FUN @ WestsideWax DJ School SUMMER SESSIONS!

Posted on Jul 10th, 2009 by The Family Umbrella : Toronto Techno Collective The Family Umbrella
Updates to FU are on their way, but first...



We're back from playing at our first outdoor festival (how much fun is DJing under the moon and stars?), and we're amped and geared up for SUMMER SESSIONS for kids and teens aged 12-18 at WestsideWax DJ School!

Our lessons are normally one hour in length, but during Summer Sessions you'll get to double your fun! Don't spend the summer bored - put the needle on the record and learn how to DJ!

Here's how it works...

Commencing Monday, July 20 and running through to Friday, August 28, WestsideWax will be running one-on-one, two hour DJ workshops, twice weekly.

Session 1: Monday and Thursday, 1 p.m. - 3 p.m.
Session 2: Tuesday and Friday, 1 p.m. - 3 p.m.


(for the early risers, occasional 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. classes will also be offered on an on-demand basis - contact for details)

During Summer Sessions, you'll have the opportunity to learn the basics of DJing in its original vinyl format, as well as equipment setup and maintenance and the history of Dance Music, from the early days of Chicago and Detroit right up to today's worldwide influence! At WestsideWax we go beyond "just playing music" and delve into the fine art of storytelling on wax. Whether you're an absolute beginner or an intermediate looking to polish your game, whether you're just curious or have had the DJ itch forever, this summer WestsideWax is the place to be!

The cost for each two-day Summer Session is $75 - sign up for just one week or for the whole summer! Slots will fill up fast, so reserve your session early! Potential students who'd like to come over for a free demo session before signing up, simply contact us at WestsideWax@sympatico.ca or at (416) 516-1563.

In addition to Summer Sessions, we're still running our regular adult classes as well - drop us a line for more details!
