Introduction

The Razor Sharp Sounds course provides knowledge and skills for people looking to get into DJ'ing or DJs looking to improve. Whatever music genre you're into, whether it's trance, electro, house, hip hop, R'n'B or funky house, drum 'n' bass, we can teach you all the basic skills needed to start mixing and DJ'ing in clubs and bars. The beginners course is mainly for people who never done DJ'ing before or people that have some idea of what to do but do have the skills yet to do it.

For the intermediate course this is for DJs that know how use the equipment and mix but want to learn more and improve their skills in every area. Here is a outlook of the course:
