Anyone can learn scratch, the ingredients are patience, investment and practice!
Would you like to become a turntablist but don't know where to start?
Tired of youtube videos called "tutorials", often incomplete and too fast?
Learning to scratch requires a combination of knowledge, training, and listening. There are no shortcuts, like any discipline you need technique and training, which I explain by breaking down the technique for a step by step learning process.
I approach scratch in the simplest way possible so that it is understood by everyone.
Thousands of hours of training have allowed me to master the scratch since the late 90s.
"The best way not to get there is to try to go too fast."
