One of our best tutors. Quality profile, experience in their field, verified qualifications and a great response time. Ari will be happy to arrange your first DJing lesson.

About Ari

I am currently a full-time professional musician and DJ with a focus in alternative/indie pop, house, dance, and r&b. I am very experienced using software like Rekordbox and Pioneer CDJs, but can be flexible depending on the desired software and board!

About the lesson

I try to relate to each student individually, and start by getting to know where they're at currently with their DJ skills and where they want to be after taking lessons. After that, we move together at whatever pace the student is capable of and comfortable with! These lessons are for anyone -- even beginners who have never done anything like this before!

Perfect! My son is at boarding school and navigates his scheduling, lesson direction, and goals directly with Ari. He is always excited after the lesson and always looks forward to his next lesson. With a schedule that changes almost daily, connecting has been atypical and Ari has completely rolled with that. So grateful to have a service that meets our needs and teaches a new skill. Its been great!

Perfect! I have been learning to DJ from Ari and the experience has been fantastic - he is a phenomenal teacher in every aspect! Ari’s knowledge of music is deep and I appreciate how he communicates the concepts in ways that are both easy to understand and implement. Ari always tailors each lesson for me - whether I have questions or concepts I want to understand more deeply, he always meets me where I’m at and I come away with so much knowledge from each session! I highly recommend Ari to anyone who wants to learn to DJ.

Perfect! "I'm glad I called that guy."
Highly recommend, Ari is a true musician. Not having a music background myself, Ari was easily able to walk me through the beginning steps of my DJ journey ending with a much better grasp on the concepts.

Perfect! Ari was clear and concise with his instruction. Made sure to evaluate my experience level and gave pointed feedback on things I did well and can improve on. He also expanded on things that would help my knowledge in mixing as well as knowledge about the software that I use. Definitely booking again!

Can’t speak highly enough of Ari. He goes above and beyond to make sure his students are really grasping the material he is teaching. He takes the time to sit and go over questions, while also spending extra time to focus on more rigorous areas of coursework. If I could give him 6 stars I would!

The way that Ari is able to explain difficult concepts into an easy to understand format, really helps you grasp and learn so much easier. If anyone gets the chance to have him as a tutor, take it!

Ari really took the time to understand where my skills were before we started lessons and made clear path on how we could achieve where I wanted to get to. He was very patient with me on things I didn’t understand well and did a great job at simplifying things when needed. He helped me gain confidence in myself and my skills. Would highly recommend Ari as your teacher!

Find out more about Ari

When did you first develop a passion for music and your favorite instrument?
I started playing guitar and really becoming interested in music when I was about 10 or 11. My brother was picking up drumming around the same time so we played a lot together!
Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?
What I'm listening to is always changing honestly, so it's hard to give just one genre! Sometimes it's indie rock, sometimes it's pop, sometimes it's electronic, or country, or hiphop.
Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.
The best course I could give someone is really how to write & produce music from the ground up. Starting with a melody or lyric or sound idea in your head, and getting all the way to a professional sounding finished product you could release on Spotify or Apple Music.
What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?
Respect to the drummers out there!! I'm always impressed by a good drummer.
What are your keys to success?
The only one is to love what you're doing. If you really enjoy it, you will want to do it all the time, and "practicing" won't even be how you view it!
Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.
Tough one, but let's go with… Nile Rodgers, Tom Misch, and Quincy Jones. All huge influences on me musically and all insanely talented in their own right.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.
In high school was when I really started playing in a band, and I remember always being so excited to play our annual "Battle of the Bands".
What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?
I think I have an easy time relating to each student individually and finding ways to phrase/explain things in a way that makes sense to the student. I'm not one to overcomplicate things that don't need to be overcomplicated!
