Book Reviews of DJ Skills: The essential guide to Mixing and Scratching
Book Review: Fascinating read for everyone, complete instructions for scratching
Summary: 5 Stars
Beerklee College of Music professor Stephen Webber writes the interesting account of scratching from the beginning to its growing acceptance as a legimate music form. Professor Webber was the first to teach turntabling as a regular course in a music college. His Stylus Symphony featuring turntables was premeired in November 2007. The book makes an important contribution to a neglected area of the history of music. But the great contribution is that it is a complete and fully illustrated text on the art of the DJ. The novice might choose to begin with Professor Webber's first book "Tutntable Technique". "DJ Skills" goes beyond the introductory elements of scratching and mixing and will prove to be an asset even to professional. Other books on this new musical form will surely be written, but this book will always be considered the definitive work.
