“Shortee’s scratch lessons & practice drills are the building blocks I needed to get where I wanted to go.
From the fundamentals to the advanced stuff, she knows what to teach & how to teach it. When I practice with her drills I can easily see improvement right away.
I’ve added scratches that I assumed I would never be able to do. My scratch skills are way better than they’ve ever been & still getting better all the time!”
— DJ ENKI | DJENKI.COM
Whether you’re new to scratching or you’re an experienced tablist who’s been cutting it up for a while, you already know that consistent practice is the key to scratch mastery.
But MASTERING scratching? That can feel like an impossible dream.
There’s an insane amount of skills to sharpen and it’s confusing trying to connect them into a cohesive flow.
And it takes FOR-EV-ER to figure it out on your own without an experienced guide to show you the way.
You’ve been grinding on the regular, trying to improve your scratching.
But it feels like you’re just spinning your wheels—and not in a dope DJ way.
Confused, you struggle to connect the few cuts you know into a cohesive flow.
Unable to create fresh combos, you’re stuck repeating the same patterns over and over.
You’re left more confused than trying to assemble IKEA furniture without instructions.🤯
Or you’ve tried ho-hum scratch courses with lackluster lessons and a few random Q&A drills with no direction on how to actually get BETTER.
Maybe you’ve enrolled in a massive monthly membership without a clear pathway to guide you through the firehose of content, so you cancel it after drowning in a sea of overwhelm.
Finding the time and energy to practice consistently is tough enough.
And then there’s the soul-crushing solitude, trying to crack the scratch code without an experienced practice buddy by your side.
Countless hours spent trying to figure out another DJ’s scratch pattern you saw on IG… yet still somehow missing that secret sauce.
You know the feeling I’m talkin’ about…
The thought of crashing and burning when everyone’s watching can be so paralyzing that you might try to fake a power outage just to avoid the spotlight.
Beginner to advanced scratch DJs struggle with these issues ALL. THE. TIME.
Many of my students used to experience these exact problems – I’ve even been there myself. (More on that below!)
You need a powerful practice solution that meets you where you’re at (even if you’re brand new) and catapults you to where you want to be with EASE.
Imagine a super fun and addictive scratch training system that builds your skills, breaks through plateaus, and empowers you to craft your signature style with confidence.
A proven practice program that provides strategic tools, timeless techniques, and expert guidance to supercharge your scratch game.
🚫 Endless hours of aimless practice…
🚫 Getting stuck repeating the same old scratch patterns…
🚫 Sounding like an unoriginal clone of someone else…
🚫 Going it alone without any trusted guidance or structured plan.
The confidence you’ll feel in your ability once you’ve got:
A crystal clear curriculum to follow so you can level up your skills as fast as possible without the guesswork.
Loads of interactive lessons & drills to pump up your progress & get you totally addicted to your training

We’re talkin’ tons of easy-to-follow lessons, interactive practice drills, scratch cheat sheets and a proven practice plan, where each skill builds on the last.
And whether you’re a lefty or a righty, I got ya covered.
And by “exact”, I mean these practice puppies were literally filmed live 1:1 with real peeps just like you who used to struggle with all the same scratch stuff you are right now.
Unlike other scratch courses, I’m not playing guessing-games with rando Q&A drills that haven’t been validated.
The practice drills in Scratch Like A Pro are data-driven and developed with real-time feedback to ensure that THEY ACTUALLY GET YOU RESULTS.

It’s a thorough solution for those without any DJ experience, beginners who are new scratching and even those folks who just need a solid refresher – anyone who is ready to make a serious commitment to learning the craft.
The best part? This practice system will continue to support you as your skills progress because you can adjust the speed of the drills to make them as easy or as challenging as you need for any skill level.
You can learn to scratch with this practice pack in as little as 5-10 minutes-a-day. This system helps you to create a mini practice habit so that you can get results in a minimal amount of time, as long as you stay consistent while using the drills to make the most of your practice time.
Many of the scratch trainer drills are short — about 5 minutes each. There are also longer drills for when you have more time to practice.
This is a self-paced course so you can move through the material as slow or as fast as you like. These drills are addictive and you don’t have to just stick to 1-per day. Feel free to do multiple drills in one day!
You may also want to practice the same drill or group of drills every day for multiple days in a row until you feel confident with that material. When you’re ready for a challenge, boost the speed and go for it again.
You can (and should!) continue to use the interactive tools in this practice pack over a lifetime of mastery…even if you only have about 5-10 minutes a day!
My students often see results immediately with these exact drills, and the results continue to progress over time with consistent deliberate practice.
That said, results are unique to each person and relative based on how much work you put in and how fast you learn. This is an interactive practice pack meaning: it takes two to tango — you need to put in the work consistently to see results.
The good news is that the drills in this course make “putting in the work” a lot more fun, intentional & efficient to give you the best possible outcome, no matter how short your practice sesh.
Scratch Like A Pro is a robust, all-in-one scratch practice system. It comes complete with 70+ in-depth lessons, cheat sheets, practice trackers, practice journals, and over 750 strategic drills, where each technique and practice drill builds intentionally on the last.

Supreme Stabs is for anyone who just wants a taste of Scratch Like A Pro.
But if you do get Supreme Stabs (or already own it), you’ll score a VIP code for $97 OFF Scratch Like A Pro to use whenever you’re ready to upgrade.
However, if you know you want the full Scratch Like A Pro program, then don’t bother getting Supreme Stabs, because it’s ALL already in Scratch Like A Pro. 😉
Scratch “Rudiments” → The most important individual core scratch techniques that are the fundamental building blocks of (almost) all scratch rhythms & combinations.
As a former drummer, I relate scratching to playing drums and percussion, and I teach how to scratch like a percussionist.
In music, a drum “rudiment” is a pattern of drum strokes between the right and left hands that have a specific rhythmic structure and dynamics. They’re also the fundamental building blocks of more complex patterns that drummers play — similar to how scales, arpeggios, and chords form the basis of piano music.
The art of scratching parallels drumming in the exact same way, in that it’s also based around a series of “rudiments” → patterns of movements between the right & left hands on the deck &/or crossfader that have a specific rhythmic structure and dynamics.
All the techniques taught in this course are considered to be essential scratch rudiments because they are some of the most important techniques that not only stand on their own individually, but are also the main elements that the more complex scratch rhythms & combos are created from.

“I have scratch skills now!
I’m on a long journey to becoming a scratch DJ but I’m definitely more confident about using scratch techniques in my mix than I ever would have been before learning from Shortee.
I feel a lot more confident in my skills!”
“DJ Shortee has the skills. She’s got the kind of skills that would make anyone in the room stop what they’re doing to look up and see her tearing it down on the tables which is amazing. But what’s even better is that she’s willing to pass her knowledge on to those who need it. And this will forever make her a legend on top of all of her accomplishments.”
“DJ Shortee’s practice drills are awesome! As someone who has difficulty making the time to practice, they’re a great way to ensure I get some solid work in to help hone my skills.
Shortee is an amazing teacher. She has an ability to teach scratching in a way that makes sense to even the most musically challenged people.”
“Shortee’s lessons & drills have made me a MUCH better scratch DJ! Before her lessons I wasn’t doing much more than a baby scratch in my DJ sets. Now I can add scratching during my club gigs, private events and weddings, regardless of the genre I’m playing. My clients are really impressed when I scratch and it raises my value as a DJ.
Shortee’s scratch practice drills are INCREDIBLE for building your skills. They make everything I do deliberate & intentional and I feel like I’m making the most of my time. All I have to do is focus on keeping up with her practice drills and then before I know it I’m like “WOW – my cuts are flawless!
It’s also so nice to have Shortee’s videos to guide you through your practice and eliminate the decision fatigue of having to figure out what you’re gonna work on that day. You can throw on any of Shortee’s practice drill videos and you’re off and running. Shortee’s truly changed how I practice now and I’ve seen my scratch skills explode!”
“Shortee is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had the opportunity to learn from.
She chunks concepts into understandable learning blocks and creates a learning environment where you truly believe that you’re capable of success.“
“Shortee taught me so much and in detail. She was one of my very first instructors and I can definitely say I was taught by the best.
She’s very honest, encouraging and fun to learn from. She’s had an extremely positive and empowering influence on me as a DJ, musician and as a woman in the DJ world too!”
“Shortee’s scratch lessons and practice drills are the building blocks I needed to get where I wanted to go. From the fundamentals to the advanced stuff, she knows what to teach and how to teach it. Shortee gives you clear blueprints on how to build your skills.
When I practice with her drills I can easily see improvement right away. I’m more fluid overall and have better fundamentals like record control and sharpness. Plus, I’m getting better at scratching with my non-dominant hand, which is something I’ve always been pretty poor at.
I honestly didn’t think I’d come as far as I have. I’ve added scratches that I assumed I would never be able to do. Some of my favorite scratch hooks from back in the day that I always wished I could do—I can do them now. My scratch skills are way better than they’ve ever been and still getting better all the time!”
“Being able to take an online scratch course with a legend like DJ Shortee is an absolute blessing! Her ability to communicate the most complicated techniques in a way that’s easy to understand is remarkable.
I leave her practice sessions feeling a little sore and VERY inspired! Shortee is extremely encouraging and has given me a safe space to practice and improve on my craft without judgment. I love training with DJ Shortee.”
“Shortee is one of the most talented and educated DJs in the industry. You can tell immediately upon meeting her that she was born to teach. I would recommend Shortee to anyone, regardless of skill level. She’s the best!”
“I didn’t know anything about scratching before taking Shortee’s class. She breaks the movements down into simple steps and creates worksheets for you that are really helpful to visualize the scratches.
I was so inspired by her class that I purchased my own set of turntables!”
“I wasn’t expecting to level up my scratching so quickly! Thanks to Shortee’s lessons and drills, I’ve gained more insight into my approach to scratching and how to make the most of my personal practice sessions.
Her scratch drills have helped me to refine my techniques and I now have SO much more confidence when scratching during my live DJ sets. Thank you Shortee! You’re amazing!”
“Thanks to Shortee’s lessons & practice drills, I’ve advanced my scratching skills by learning new scratches and combos, and I’ve been able to step up my game and work on projects beyond my wildest dreams!
Shortee provides you with the practice tools to be successful and encourages you to continually show up for yourself. She’ll help you achieve your goals and even achieve your goals beyond the goals!”
“Shortee helped me bring my scratch skills to another level!
She isn’t just one of the best female DJ’s, she’s one of the best DJ’s. Period.
Shortee is the G.O.A.T.!”
“DJ Shortee’s scratch drills are AWESOME! Back when I was just starting to learn to scratch, I felt a bit intimidated and I had trouble practicing on my own. I’d get stuck doing the same patterns and I felt like I was stumbling around in the dark, wondering, “Is this even doing anything?”
Now whenever I’m staring at my turntables and feel stuck, I just start with one of Shortee’s scratch drills to help me loosen up and I start to flow! Shortee’s practice drills help me to hone each individual scratch and combination, with ideas on how to swing them and get funky! When I’ve got something down, I speed the drill up to a faster tempo to challenge myself.
After one of Shortee’s fun scratch practice sessions, I feel reinvigorated to scratch again. Her explanations are on point and I love her drills. And it shows because my scratches get better by the end!”
“Working with Shortee is one of the best choices & investments I’ve made as a DJ. I’ve developed more confidence in myself while scratching & DJing in general.
Shortee’s lessons & drills have taught me how to practice properly to improve my scratching. Her scratch drills help me to warm up, increase my speed & improve techniques that I’m still working on.
Shortee’s drills also help me to create & combine different scratches that I already know to make them sound fresh and flashy. I’m now able to come up with new scratch patterns & create mini routines for my Instagram videos that have helped grow my IG to over 95k followers.
I’ve also become increasingly confident due to my lessons with Shortee and her support. I used to close up and get really self-conscious, but she was able to help me break out of my shell and perform with confidence.
I appreciate everything Shortee has done for me and I’m lucky to have her as a teacher. I feel very grateful to her and also grateful to myself for making the decision to take her lessons!
“Shortee is both a badass artist and a gifted instructor, which is a rare combination of skills. Her teaching style is clear and engaging, and her lessons are comprehensive and meticulously planned.
On top of that, Shortee is fun, positive, and encouraging: if you’re her student, then she’s your biggest cheerleader. It’s no surprise that Shortee propels her students to success, and I count myself lucky to have been one of them.”
“Shortee’s lessons & practice drills have helped me level up my scratch game tremendously. She always gives a really clear breakdown, and excellent tips on how to best optimize your technique including the nuances of things like body positioning, hand placement, and arm tension. Those small ergonomic differences have made a huge difference in my scratch accuracy and efficiency.
I like that I can always go back to the same drills if I need more practice on a particular technique and I can increase the speed to push me to my limit (in a good way) when I need to challenge myself further. They also help me to practice more on my non-dominant side, and as a result, my scratch ambidexterity has significantly improved.
Since I’ve upleveled my skills with Shortee’s drills, more people in the industry have started to recognize my potential. Ever since I started training with Shortee, I’m pleasantly surprised at the encouragement and enthusiasm I’ve received from the DJ community. I feel validated and accepted by this community that I’ve always wanted to join.”
“Shortee breaks things down so clearly and makes even the most difficult scratches really easy for me to understand and practice.
I’ve learned a wide variety of new scratch techniques and I’m much more confident & creative on the decks thanks to her lessons & drills.
If you practice scratching with Shortee, you’re gonna get so much better!”
