Absolutely! You don’t need any previous scratching experience.

We’ll start with the absolute fundamentals and guide you step by step through your first scratches, beginner combinations and beyond.

Everything is taught in a logical order, so you’ll always know what to learn next and how to practise it.

Definitely! In fact, if you’ve been scratching for a while but feel like your progress has stalled, this course could be exactly what you need.

It’s not just about learning more techniques. You’ll discover how to master the ones you already know through different timings, pitches, accents and tempos, before combining them into more complex musical patterns.

With lessons covering everything from the fundamentals to advanced techniques and combinations, there’s plenty to challenge experienced scratchers.

The course covers everything you’d need to take on an international battle. This may not be your ambition but be safe in the knowledge that the course can take you to this elite level.

You can learn almost any individual scratch technique for free on YouTube. The problem is knowing what to learn, in what order, and how to practise effectively. YouTube also doesn’t teach musicality in scratching so freestyling can sound robotic.

Instead of jumping between disconnected tutorials, you’ll follow a complete learning roadmap designed around the science of skill development.

You’ll learn not just how to perform each technique, but how to master it, combine it with others and use it musically.

Think of it as the difference between having a collection of directions and having a sat nav guiding you to your destination.

That depends on your starting point, how consistently you practise and how effectively you apply what you learn.

But here’s the good news: you don’t need to spend hours practising every day to make meaningful progress. As little as 15–30 minutes daily, focused on the right things, will give you great results.

The course uses deliberate practice principles to help you focus on the things that will make the biggest difference to your development.

The aim isn’t simply to practise more. It’s to make every minute of practice more productive. Students routinely report making significantly more progress than before with less time at the decks. This is because they are spending more of that time on targeted improvement than before.

You don’t need to dedicate hours every day.

Even short, focused practice sessions can help you build your skills when you’re working on the right things. As little as 15–30 minutes daily, focused on the right things, will give you great results.

Consistency and practice quality matter more than simply putting in hours. We’ll show you how to make the most of whatever time you have available.

You’ll need a DJ setup that allows you to scratch. This could be turntables, CDJs or a suitable DJ controller. Controllers like the Pioneer FLX series will work just fine, for example.

So long as you can manipulate the sound in real time and you can configure the crossfader to have a sharp curve (or “cut”), you’ll be able to scratch on it. This is true of 99% of beginner setups these days.

You don’t need an expensive professional setup to get started. Most beginner DJ controllers will work these days.

You don’t necessarily need traditional turntables to learn scratching.

Many DJ controllers have jog wheels and crossfaders that allow you to practise scratch techniques. However, the suitability of your setup will depend on the equipment you’re using.

The techniques and musical principles taught in the course can be applied across different scratch-capable setups, although the physical feel and controls may vary.

Every new scratch technique in the course has an additional video where I demonstrate the technique on a static platter DJ controller so you can learn the technique on recognisable hardware and then return to the main lesson for different timings, tonality and tempo training.

Not at all!

We’ll teach you the musical concepts you need as you progress, including rhythm, timing, phrasing and how to make your scratching sound more musical.

You don’t need to read music or play an instrument. Just bring a willingness to learn and experiment.

You’ll follow a structured journey from the fundamentals of scratching through beginner, intermediate and advanced techniques.

Along the way, you’ll learn how to perform circa 40 individual scratches and circa 40 scratch combos. Importantly you’ll also learn how to develop the scratch techniques through our 4Ts framework (Technique, Timing, Tonality and Tempo) to build your own musical vocabulary. You’ll also learn a variety of different scratch styles like drum scratching, phrase scratching, faderless and upfader scratching.

The goal is to help you become a confident, creative scratch DJ who can do far more than simply copy patterns.

Absolutely.

The course is online and self-paced, so you can work through the lessons whenever it suits you.

You can revisit demonstrations, repeat exercises and spend as much time as you need mastering each skill before moving on.

There’s no pressure to keep up with anyone else.

If you choose the lifetime-access option, you’ll make a one-time payment and receive ongoing access to the course without recurring subscription fees, subject to the purchase terms.

That means you can revisit lessons, refresh your technique and continue developing your skills at your own pace.

If you choose a subscription instead, your access will depend on your subscription remaining active.

Simply select the option that works best for you at checkout.

Learning a new skill can be challenging, and it’s completely normal to encounter techniques that take longer to master.

That’s why the course is designed around clear demonstrations, structured exercises and a logical progression of difficulty. You can revisit lessons as often as you need and focus on individual movements before building them into more complex patterns.

You can contact Mr. Big Mouth directly with questions and he will always endeavour to help.

If you want more regular personalised guidance, virtual and in-person one-to-one coaching sessions are also available separately, giving you the opportunity to work directly on the areas where you need the most help.

It’s where the science of learning meets the art of scratching.
