Stop Guessing. Start Progressing.
Right now your scratching probably feels like this:

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
Beginners who want to master scratching fast
Scratching can seem complex and daunting and it can be easy to miss crucial steps in your learning.
I take you from beginner to expert via a carefully curated journey where every step is as small, logical and digestible as possible. By using the techniques in my course, you will be able to learn faster than everybody else.
Experienced scratchers who are struggling to get to the next level
Feel like you're just doing the same things over and over? And can't seem to get any further?
I use a number of learning techniques from the science of high performance to help you break through those barriers. I also show you all the variations you can do to breathe fresh life into the stuff you already know.
Time strapped DJs who want to be scratch masters fast
Maybe you have kids, or DJing is your hobby/side hustle so just can't take all your time. You want to be brilliant at scratching but with much less time commitment.
I've cracked the code for learning incredibly quickly, where time at the decks is extremely limited. And it's not rocket science - it's just about training in a way that aligns with how your brain learns, rather than going against it.
