DJ 102 @ Miyagi Education
Summer Session A

DJ 102 is the next step in your Miyagi Education pathway—an intermediate-level course designed for students who already understand the fundamentals and are ready to level up their technique, confidence, and creative possibilities. This 5-week run includes 4 weeks of instruction and a graduation set the following Saturday during our public Selector Saturdays program.

This course is perfect for DJs who have finished 101 or who can already blend confidently on both vinyl and digital setups.

Prerequisites

To enroll in DJ 102, students must meet one of the following:

• Successful completion of DJ 101 at Miyagi Education

• Demonstrated proficiency in the baseline skills below:

  • General knowledge of beat matching

  • Basic–intermediate blends // fade-in / fade-out transitions

  • General understanding of beats + bar count

  • General equipment familiarity (EQ, fader, jog wheels/platters, cueing, headphones)

  • At least one hour of music prepared for mixing

  • Working knowledge of Serato (Rekordbox familiarity is acceptable, but class is Serato-heavy)

  • Ability to perform a 1-hour DJ set

If you're unsure about readiness, reach out—we can help place you.

Course Schedule

• Sundays 2–5pm

• Once per week

• 4 instructional weeks + 1 graduation week

• Graduation set occurs the Saturday immediately after Week 4

This class runs approximately 3 times per year, typically offered once every two DJ 101 cycles.

What You’ll Learn

DJ 102 deepens and expands the skills introduced in 101, focusing on precision, control, creativity, and confidence. Across four sessions, students will explore:

• Advanced use of Serato, including cues, loops, pitch, and library workflow

• Building cleaner, smoother, more intentional transitions

• Understanding phrasing at a deeper level

• Sharpening your vinyl fundamentals (because the analog skills always matter)

• Blending techniques for more complex mixes

• Crafting a cohesive 30–45 minute set with purpose and narrative

• Developing your performance instincts in a live environment

The course is taught by RTST, a world-renowned turntablist and DJ battle organizer, bringing both technical mastery and deep musical perspective.

Course Format

• Length: 5 weeks (4 classes + 1 graduation)

• Class Time: Sundays, 2–5pm
