Class Description

Build your skills, deepen your practice.

DJ Fundamentals is a four-week guided course designed to help you grow your confidence and creativity on club standard CDJ equipment. Whether you’re new to DJing or returning to sharpen your skills, this class provides a clear, supportive structure to develop your technique and explore your musical voice.

You’ll:
• Strengthen your beatmatching and transition skills
• Explore new creative techniques on CDJs and mixers
• Build consistency and flow through structured weekly lessons

This course is ideal for anyone who thrives with regular instruction and hands-on learning. Each week builds on the last, with time to ask questions, experiment, and refine your style. Whether it’s your first round or your third, DJ Fundamentals gives you room to level up at your own pace—and discover something new every time.

Mars

Mars finds love in the low end, offering up sub-heavy dancefloor shakers for bass-heads and newcomers alike. Drawing inspiration from British bass music history, the LA producer & DJ subverts the genre, using elements of bass wobbles and breaks to create batucada, 2step, and taiko rhythms. She has released with notable Bay Area label No Bias, and played alongside Jamie XX, The Dare, Doss, INVT, Anna Morgan, Bianca Oblivion, and Sybil.

"My style of teaching is very hands on. I believe that students learn best when given the instrument (CDJs) to play with and allowing them to freely roam and discover the many knobs and effects. With some guidance around technique and procedure on beat-matching, harmonic mixing, and phrasing, students will demystify CDJs, learning them just as any other large instrument, like a piano or guitar."

Testimonials

Absolutely loved my experience taking class with the Los Feliz Music & Art Conservatory! my dj teachers, Mars and Julia, were so supportive and knowledgable, they made learning something new exciting and not at all intimidating. highly recommend :)

I took a DJ class here for two months with Mars. Really enjoyed it and hope to return again. The space felt really inclusive and approachable. Mars was fun and did a great job explaining things in a way that was practical and clear but also detailed / contextual. She had a natural way of teaching to everyone’s level. I hope to take more classes here — the programs seem very thoughtfully coordinated.
